We looked at it, but it doesn't really fit our needs. So we are passing on this opportunity

I wonder if Larry Ellison will buy it for pennies on the dollar?

The sole pizza room was a deal breaker. At that price I expect both a pizza room and a pizza oven on the patio for summer evenings.

Sounds like a good AirBnB investment.

But, really, what's the shocker here? There are mansions all over American that most of us could never dream of owning. That's not news.

That's a lot of land for Palo Alto. It actually might be underpriced in this market.

I wish I had known this ahead of time, but now I am already under contract with Sergey Brin on a $106M property just shy of 2.5 acres. Should I back out?
