Inside A $29,000,000 Mid-Century Japanese Garden Inspired Home | Architectural Digest - Zábava
The homeowner giving the tour, makes it so sentimental, you can tell he’s enjoyed this house for years 😭🥺
Yes💔
born to the right parents. Good for him!🎉
Yes, having him give the tour was very nice.
It's 29 million 💀.He gotta sell that shi.
Definitely ❤
This house is the first house to make me wish I was wealthy enough to both buy and maintain the house. It feels so safe and warm to the point it feels euphoric. It is also the first house that doesn't make me want to remodel stuff.
Totally agree with you. I got the same feeling as well.
I am half Japanese, and my great grandparents had a house in Hawaii that had this same type of design and aesthetic. You'll see many similar homes in Hawaii like this. Of course not this grand, my great grandparents house was only 2000 square ft. They were pretty small, so they didn't need a lot of room lol! They are usually the older homes. And you don't need to spend 29 million on it.
I have the opposite experience, I live in a damp and dingy studio underneath and parking garage which makes me wish I was wealthy. Lol
Agreed
Yup. If I win mega millions I’m buying it.
Can you imagine growing up in such a beautiful home? Some people are sure lucky. What a beautiful place. I hope whoever gets this home and land, does not change one thing. Walking through the grounds must be a dream. So glad I got to see this.
Did I miss the kitchen? 😳
@@sk8ercaligirl they grill everything seemingly
@@melonusk6120 Funny comment lol 😂
@@sk8ercaligirl no they did not show it
@@sandrabrown6326 thanks for letting me know. At 29 million, I would have liked to see it. 😀
The owners were visionaries, what a masterpiece. I'd find it impossible to let go if I was the son.
29 million dollars. Think about it
@@janeblogs324 honestly, my first reaction to the price relative to the land was
"damn thats not as much as i expected"
@@janeblogs324 I mean, people who own these kinds of houses are rich to begin with so it's not that big of a deal
@@andreatavaglione6459 But why would they sell it then?
@@chaoswitch1974 It either be that the son doesn't have the money to maintain it and wants it preserved by someone who can, or simply because he just wants something simpler.
I like how the presenter doesn't try to overshadow the owner. It was just a spiritual feeling to understand someone's emotion towards their home. Obviously the house is so brilliant and ZEN, but it have a soul because of all these stories and details.
I totally agree!
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948
Finally, a house with a history, design, and build that's actually worth the cost!
29 million dollars, that's way too overpriced
@@waltuhgoodman3427 The 20 acres makes it up
@@sungjinwoo7173 Not really. Even at $30,000/acre, which is way above what you can buy land for in the U.S., it only makes up $600,000 of the $29 million. Even at $100,000/acre, it would only be $2 million of it. It's really the house's history, size, attention to detail, and maybe the owner's nostalgia/memories that make the price that high. Still, you can get a cardboard box for $150/sq. ft., go through the work and effort of designing your own mansion for much less money, pay someone else to make you something similar for approximately the same price without any history, or you can get a historical masterpiece already built for $2521/sq. ft. *Shrug*
@@Haylla2008 $30K per acre would be a steal in Marin County. Not to mention the cost of labor to build this right now with the price of lumber and labor!
@@anomalily Yeah... but you can get land as cheap as $3,000 an acre < an hour a way from small cities. You can also do at least some of the work yourself if you have the time. It really just depends on how much you get paid for your time on whether you should do something yourself or pay others to do it.
Really stunning home and you can tell how much it means to the owner. It actually makes me sad to know he’s selling it
TBH I dont know how you could sell such a beautiful and symbolic family heirloom.
the tax and maintenance for such large and expensive estate could be very unforgiving. Maybe the family's heyday is behind them and they can no longer comfortably afford this luxury.
@@adamharris5003 That something is a family heirloom doesn't matter if you can't appreciate, store, and maintain it. Could be that there is no one to pass it on to, or there is but they can't afford the maintenance. Zillow lists it as $18,608 a month in property tax not to mention the cost in maintaining the gardens.
@@saturnianali8r good point
The property taxes alone must be absolutely insane
What I love the most about the place is that it is in no way gaudy or flashy it just gives out this aura of elegance and timeless beauty. Also love love love all the original furnitures I do hope the next owner will keep most of it the way it is.
I doubt that much of it is original.
It’s very true to Japanese principals in that sense, in that it’s not gaudy or flashy and very much subdued and simply elegant
Ah, that garden.

Most favorite house on AD! It is also nice that we were able to hear from the actual owner :) As a Japanese person, I really appreciate the passion and effort they put into this house. It is amazing that many things were custom made, not just imported from Japan.
This is absolutely incredible. The kind of home that was created with lots of attention to detail, story, and history by the original owners. I hope that the next buyer doesn't change a thing!
That was the way back in the 70's. Not so much anymore...
@@SevenFootPelican yeah, not so much anymore. People nowadays are so shallow, and lack of appreciation and understanding of anything truly special. Pretty soon this amazing home would be converted into some new building lacking personality or uniqueness. Hopefully not, but it would take a miracle for sure.
to whoever buys this house, please take good care of it. it's one of a kind and doesn't deserve to be destroyed or remodelled.
I love how passionate he is about his home and you can tell he grew up happy in it
I LOVE that they brought in the son to talk about the history and the memories of the house he grew up in. You can tell he was really happy there. I hope they find buyers who will appreciate all the little details!
Some houses on here are expensive just to be expensive but this is different because it was a home for 2 generations and was designed with practicality and beauty in mind. Love it.
Read “Japanese garden” and thought it was just some plants thrown together in the center of the house. Watches “custodian of the imperial garden spending 3 days reciting haiku to get inspiration” ok. This place is legit. Wow what an amazing home!
This house is a masterpiece. Calm, natural elegance. His parents were truly ahead of their time.
Timeless house, I think it’ll look just as breathtaking in another 50 years time
Honestly wouldn't trust the next few owners alot of people don't have the same respect for good design.
Very nice house! You can tell the original owner really was building his own house to then live inside it, there’s no opulence even though it’s massive. I think Mark is not very keen to idea of selling the house, I had this feeling at the end while he was essentially waving us goodbye. Probably he has no other choice, I hope the future owner will treat the house well.
This is by far my favorite home you have featured... no contest. The attention to detail is unreal.

If I had a lot of money this is the only house I would pay that many millions for, is just breath taking, the attention to detail is sublime, the natural light, the views. Is really nice that you interviewed the owner , he grew up in this house and it shows , he seems really fond of his house
Totally amazing to me how well this house has stood the test of time.
Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?
Thats how japanese homes still stand today.
As a Japanese, it is always rare to see real Japanese architecture overseas. And this exterior and the gardens really feel Japanese to me!
It must be very, very difficult to sell such a stunning property. The property itself, the care and attention to detail is remarkable and it is very clear the owner's son, Mark, loves his home. Wishing Mark the very best as he moves on to his next stage of life!
I am amazed about the house but more amazed about the owner and his stories. What a great life :)
That home can't be sold without the owner being present for potential buyers. I'm sure the realtor is knowledgeable, but the owner knows the history and little details. He's selling art, not real estate.
It's like he's telling a story every time he enters a new room or space. I wonder why he's letting it go :( The home is so beautiful.
@@DoJoStan probably because its too expensive to keep up or maintain

I'm so glad they let the owner do the walkthrough!
The best part is the owner's reverence and enthusiasm for this home. He so obviously loves it.
This guy is so sweet. It's lovely and moving to see how much pride he takes in his parents' endeavor, and how he appreciates it.
Mark did such a great job bringing his family’s home to life and convey his father’s and the original builder’s visions. Such a beautiful journey and lovely well thought out home
Honestly breaks my heart to see them having to let go of the house, for whatever reason it is, but it must be hard to let the most important place of your life go, because you can see the passion he has because he remembers all the years and events as to why what happened in the home 💔
Only in my wildest dreams! what a beautiful home, I wouldn't change a thing. I hope this home stays timeless for years to come.
He’s so well spoken about the meaning each element had specifically to his family. It’s very insightful to know the exact reason the house was designed the was it was.
I don't know why, but watching this whole tour brought tears to my eyes. I'll buy this in a heartbeat.... If I have $30M, that is....
I am not convinced this guy wants to sell this house
he may not have kids, or it's too much of a financial burden with property taxes and extensive maintenance.
He probably doesn't, but with his age he must be thinking about the future and if there is no one to pass it down to then it's likely his only option. Better to sell it to the right buyer who will maintain it than the land get seized or the home fall into disrepair.
The passion this man has for his childhood home is so adorable
The way this house is structure is just like my dream home, every space makes sense, it's purposeful and it's a celebration to space more than living inside a box house. I applaud this house, it conquered my heart ❤️
Also you can tell how much fun they had in this house😊
Really glad some of all this money went to Japanese contractors - architects / interior designers. That’s how you show appreciation.
This house is absolutely amazing! Could be my dream house. Definitely my favorite house so far on AD!
One of the most beautiful homes ever showcased on this channel.
This is, by far, my favorite house that's been featured on this channel. It's gorgeous
Mr. Pomeroy, your parents had extraordinary vision. your home and its landscaping is stunning. Thank you for sharing the history of the home. It made the tour more personal and interesting to the viewers, who are predominantly Architecture and design junkies.
This house is stunning, but I doubt I would ever be able to afford the maintenance cost just for the gardens. I hope that someone buys it who does appreciate it and can keep up with the garden maintenance. This house deserves to be appreciated. I love all the detailing in it.
I’m glad the 29 mil isn’t a barrier for you!
Very impressive house and property. Incredible landscaping. I would take a house like this any day over the super expensive homes on tiny lots they are building on the hillsides of Los Angeles.
This episode is probably the most favorite one AD has ever done. There is something so special about someone who has spent time building and living in the house, do the tour and tell stories of those days from building the foundation and up to the selection of furnishings! Kudos to his parents, what impeccable taste!!! it really stood the test of time, not just design wise but structurally as well! MORE OF THIS!
this house has been on the market and has dropped prices so many times, currently sitting closer to 19M. Its such a beautiful house, but I think new buyers are having difficulty seeing as their own, since many likely want to keep it as is given this heartfelt tour, but are battling between how to make it theirs. and then of course, maintenance of the house would be enormous, given the landscaping costs and property taxes as previously mentioned. my hope is that perhaps an organization can buy it and turn it into some type of museum, or maybe a spa.
for sure I agree
This is the most incredible, breathtaking home. I have never gasped so many times and have been simply in absolute awe of a home. It’s the epitome of beauty. What a marvel and source of pride and legacy.
I live in Japan and my wife is Japanese, and I’ve ALWAYS DREAMED of building a home like this. To see my dream already built in the states, make my heart happy. To have a TASTE of Japan EVERY DAY, is something that I dream about. Plus those of my friends who have served in Japan with me, would have a taste of Japan as well. I wish I had the money for this house, for my wife, for my in laws and for those I serve with me. I know this house would bring us some much joy. Just wonder if the ORIGINAL owners had ever been to Japan, because they were SPOT ON with this.❤️❤️😍😍
Definitely one of the best homes featured on AD. Absolutely beautiful and I love the passion of the homeowner for his parents home. Truly beautiful. I hope whoever buys the home will respect it.
What a beautiful and unique home! Such a melancholy feel having the homeowner on the tour, definitely adds a more personal element. I hope the next owners appreciate this house for all it was/is/will be.
Amazing how the homeowner so vividly recounts all the details of the home as if he were designing it alongside his parents! You can tell he has enjoyed his years here. Beautiful home.
Watching this feels very special and a treat to me. I particularly enjoyed listening to the son speak of his personal memories of the house and the knowledge he has from the largest and smallest details. Very well done, I hope whoever is the next owner will maintain this appreciation.
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948
The style wears well...everything was so thoughtful that even now in 2022, this home still feels contemporary. This house is timeless and full of so much appreciation and love.
The perfect home.
The grounds of this home are literally soo impeccable. Just imagine growing up there with those views and that amount of space 😍
It sold for 14 million this year, much less than their original asking price. Love the sweeping shots with Mt. Tam in the background.
What a special tour by the owner who has all those memories. ❤️This house was ahead of it’s time.
so much thought and curation put into this property. i hope the new owner treats it well!!
Beautiful attention to detail, so many houses seem to pull design elements from other cultures with no respect for the culture their taking from. This isn't imitating Japanese style, they're really respecting the craft and design at every stage.
This is a super refreshing video for this channel. I tend to watch AD videos for the same reason some people watch reality TV shows. Sort of a morbid curiosity of how celebrities and people even richer than them live. Often times these videos feature gross, gaudy excess and it's not uncommon to see disrespectful cultural appropriation where clearly the architects, interior designers, and the homeowners merely care about the look of something rather than the meaning and story behind it.
This home is so different. As other comments said, you actually FEEL something when watching this video. Not just from the son of the former owners, but the home itself. And it's just that- a home, not a house. The fact the family hired Japanese artists to create the space from the ground up is itself very telling. The deep knowledge the family had of Japan and its traditions is beautiful. This home is more of a tribute rather than claiming something as their own or taking all the credit for it. I really enjoyed hearing their son quite poetically speak about his family, the space, the meaning behind its details, and the meaning the home had for himself.
Create more videos and homes like this, AD!
Unusual...My utter bewilderment to that engineer who have suggested that radiant heating should be in the ceiling of the house rather than floor. I always thought that warm air rises and cold air falls, but I am not an engineer, so what do I know.
I'm not an HVAC engineer at all, but your assumption is right. It's definitely less efficient the way they have it in the ceiling.
Think of Zen and it makes sense. As it is outside, so it is inside.
Yeah, the sun's rays are short-wave radiation and it needs to hit the ground to produce long-wave heat radiation.
a true gem, love the history of the home, the gardens are beyond beautiful. I am so used to seen celebrities remodel homes on AD that this home was truly refreshing.
What a beautiful and heartfelt video. The owners son’s beautiful memories are going to sell this home. This is a gorgeous home but it’s the lovely stories that make this home come alive. It’s going to be a bittersweet day the day it’s sold.
Looks like Kyoto. This is something to keep for generations. It's priceless really.
That's exactly what I kept thinking!! It so reminds me of Kyoto!
This is one of the best homes I’ve ever seen.
As an architect, i am very interested, and would be grateful to see the plans for this building
They have the floor plan listed on Zillow, if that helps. 21 Canyon Rd, Ross, CA 94957.
@saturnianali8r 🤔 No pictures of the kitchen on zilliow either.
This property is gorgeous, it looks brand new and that old thermostat is the only giveaway that it’s a 52 years old property.
This is easily one of my favorite homes EVER
Can someone help this owner keep the house?! He's very sentimental about the home and has tons of family memories. I hope it remains in the family.
No, why would we? He’s a millionaire and wants to move on.
Hope everyone have their dream home one day
Thank you for showing this stunning property. Is nice to listen the stories of the owners son and all the special details. I really hope the new buyer/owner will Honor this special place ! For me is absolutely perfect and I wouldn’t change a single chair inside .:: 🙏🏻
Now that's a beautiful and unique house! Love the photo album too, it's nice to see the construction process, and the handwritten notes about their BBQs and such. So lovely!
The story behind this home even makes it more special!
This is such a beautiful home. It needs the right owner/caretaker.
My mouth dropped when I read the description. I live in Marin, County and I had no idea this home existed!!
Absolutely breathtaking, the crown jewel of that era's midcentury modern Asian influence.
I am so amazed at the backstory it’s fantastic
This is more than a beautiful home! It's a singular cultural, artistic, architectural heritage that that family is offering. Congratulations to the Pomeroy family for having such care for that building and for maintaining it. I think that in wishing to have an authentic house, that family integrated that eye to see the details as a way of nurturing the house. I hope the one who buys it be very happy there and adds up to and in the beauty of that location.
This is officially my all-time favorite AD video of all time.
THIS is why I’m taking architectural design
Awesome! your potential seems limitless. I'm fascinated with investing but being a single mother and juggling all these things are quite difficult. how best can I start and what sector to engage in?
@Bryan wow! do you think you can give me some advice on how to invest in a healthy way as you are doing? Please
@Bryan Thanks for sharing, just looked up
on google and I'm super impressed with her credentials. I dropped a massage on her webpage and hope she replies soon.
Investing in cryptomarket with the aid of a professional or experienced trader is a very good passive streams of income.
She is the best and has really made a good name for herself and i can Vouch for Ms Melisa Pamela Perez a certified ßroker with FINRA approved
A lot of investors have restrained from the market because of the volatile and sudden crash in the market. But I’ve learnt to understand that trading is quite different from just hodling. There are short sell for bearish and long sell for bullish.
Mark was an amazing tour guide. And what an amazing house. Definitely one of the best on AD.
This may be the first house I have ever seen where I would not change a single thing. However, the son did such an incredible job of touring the house and its history, I couldn't help but feel like anyone else in that home would be intruding.
I just had to add, I am mesmerized by the way the sun shines through the windows at sunset. It feels magical!!!
The idea of building to last forever is beautiful. It speaks to the core of the minimalist mindset.
Also, being able to see exactly how the things were decades before, without any kind of distortions, is the closest to go back in time and experience those decades.
One of the most beautiful House id ever seen in this channel
What an amazing and perfect house. Love this beautiful and peaceful home sanctuary.
This home was ahead of its time and even many years after the 60s, still doesn’t feel dated at all. It’s a wonderful home!
This house actually made me shead a tear it's beauty it's thought out design. Everything satisfied a hole i didn't know.
WOW! This is absolutely amazing and beautiful. I would love to see this home in person. It just has such an inviting peaceful realm about it. It has actually given me ideas to even decorate my home. I love the zen like gardens.
I'm honestly shocked this is only 29 million. I can't even imagine how wealthy the family must have been to build a house like this on such a large plot of land. Wonder what sort of business they were in....
The mansion was built in the 1970s by Robert Pomeroy, of J.H. Pomeroy, one of the construction companies that helped build the Golden Gate Bridge in the 1930s.
I wonder why he's selling it now.
@@wellintonrodrigo5133 they were asking for $43 mil two years.
IF this house owned by some celebrities, the number will up up up 🤑🤑🤑
Just guessing - if this was in Singapore the value would be double. Easily. Covid-19, the recent fires in Marin, plus Asian Hate has essentially messed up the market for second homes for UHNW Asians. Mainland China is out as well since this is an ode to Japanese culture....
Homeowner really enjoyed this house for so many years, from it’s history with his father to making a building that is inspired. It really is worth the price tag in my opinion, the quality, history, garden, etc.
It must be amazing to grow up here. You can sense how much the owner loved this house. I hope the new owners will respect and love this house
Such a stunning home. Wheelchair friendly too! Yes please!
Wow, this is such a beautiful home
Respect. The parents, original owners were SOoooo ahead of their time. Visionaries.
What a beautiful property, so close and respectful of japanese traditions. Congrats to the family and the craftmen who built this.
Thank you AD. I loved this video from start to finish ❤
With such history and thoughtfulness, it’s priceless! Thank you for sharing this beautiful home.
Out of so many excellent real estates that this channel has presented to us viewers, this particular one stands out the most. It's absolutely stunning.
This house should be close to twice that price.
Those gardens are exceptional. Priceless.
the most inspiring home I've ever seen.
