This looks tasteful and just the sort of place that I could see dbd33 moving into if he wanted to be closer to the indian restaurants in Brampton.

If it's being given away and the upkeep is taken care of, why not?

It does come with a chauffeur doesn't it?

Yeah- to drive you as far away from it's 11000sq ft of vileness as quickly as possible.

This is what it needs ...

It's little brother in Newfoundland has been for sale for a while. Bit cheaper. Just as tacky: https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/S...abrador-A1W3B4

Rather nicer (& I think the most expensive home for sale in the province at present) is this: https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/S...abrador-A1W5V9

Or if you want your own Island (just about) yet only 20 minutes from St John's there's this: https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/S...abrador-A1W3A7 My concern would be $3m for something that isn't that far above sealevel is a lot of money for the risks that a big storm or rising sea levels bring!

I can't decide whether I find the wall to wall cedar overpowering or not. I do think that'd I'd want a kitchen in a solid colour to contrast with the wood. Still, it's not a problem that I expect to have to deal with anytime soon...

Why are there no inside photos?

I don't understand. There are so many on BE earning fortunes but if they're not buying palatial houses what are they spending their hard earned on?

If you were selling a $4m home would you want the hoi polloi to see the inside pics of your mansion? I think not. One assumes that if you pass the "you look like you have $4m to drop on a house" test with realtor you get to see the gold plated tables and marble toilet seats.

Kids. Booze. One is required to deal with the other.
