okay so several people i know are either buying, selling, or looking to buy a place (or all three). so, on my way to work today, i noticed a home for sale. they had a website listed, so i just had to check it out. bear in mind that this is by no means the nicest place i drive past.
www.40devonshire.com
feel free to browse the website. the point of most interest is going to be listing detail page here and the brochure (with pictures) here. yes, that's right, asking $14.9 million. eeks! granted, it is 2.2 acres right on lake michigan, with an indoor pool, 8.5 bathrooms (8.5, seriously..) and so on. but the property taxes in 2005 were over $88,000. after looking at all the pictures, the place isn't really my style, so i think i'll keep looking. oh, and the property taxes are more than i make in a year, so that would be a problem, too.
some other less expensive (but still ones a wee bit out of my price range) homes i passed (i love that they put the website on the sign!):

www.1064sheridan.com
www.940sheridan.com (this one isn't working for me, but feel free to give it a try)
