I love the phrase they use "yet inviting to today’s lifestyle". Would that be a "lifestyle" of excess? Please, post your comments on what word you would use to describe this thing. And doesn't the owner know that McMansions have fallen out of favor?

The Marin Lifestyle is For Sale
As I am feeling more irreverent than normal (and given that there is not much that is particularly new in the news vis-a-vis real estate, other than the fact that on both coasts inventories are up and sales are down as are prices), I decided to post this obscenity I found on a Marin realtor's web site:

Mausoleum for Fallen RE Investors
Home for the Compulsively Symmetrical
Saddam's Secret Marin Palace
Nail Salon and Bail Bonds, est. 2008
Training Target, USAF

Compact, yet sufficiently pretentious Tuscan Villa completed in 2001, located on the Strawberry Shore waterfront in Mill Valley.
Fabulous views of San Francisco, Belvedere Island and the Bay. If the Bay fails to entertain, enjoy the many passersby on the nearby street from your sumptuous terrace.
Diminutive, stylized stucco pillars grace the front facade of this stately residence, underscoring value in this showcase of fine finishes, authentic materials and attention to detail.
A park and walking path at waters edge in this coveted neighborhood. No need for excess lot space for privacy in this fine residence. Nearly 15 feet separate you from your neighbor. Escape from it all in rectangular splendor.
Elegant and stately; yet inviting to today’s lifestyle with low introductory monthly payments.
Professionally landscaped, a lily pond, fountain, and spacious terrace to entertain and intimidate.
You deserve it!

Ah, but that would be a Europen style McMansion. We have those in Marin too. This one is Tuscan.
Of course, there are locations in Marin where the McMansion is at home...Ross to name one. But this one in Strawberry is so out of place. For another good one, go to Larkspur, on Magnolia St. about a block from the library. Amidst rows of 1 bedroom bungalows is a monstrosity that blocks the neighbors views of the redwoods and keeps one house in shade half the day.
