That actually has a bunch of sheet music on it. Unless they are really into making it look like someone plays it I'd say it getting played.

Plus a hymnal and a metronome. Definitely a church pianist's piano.

All systems nominal.
I think that, in the US, "church pianist" outnumbers "plays for fun / is in a band pianist" by about 50:1.

There's nothing wrong with that room other than the lovely looking piano.

Look at how far above the waterline that room is. The "pre-ruined floor" look is very appropriate. In florida, it's not a matter of whether, but when, that room will be 8' deep in storm surge, and that's not even accounting for sea level rise.

That's not the floor. That is, or was, a trendy type of area rug. The faded or screen printed persian rug thing.

Like, I can't imagine human beings living in them. I don't know how else to describe it. Maybe it's partly a byproduct of them being sale photos, but they just don't look like homes.

Just once I want to see a home listing with something other than a baby grand piano.

How about a tasteful harpsichord or an organ?

Make it a pipe organ. :getin:

When I was little I had a neighbor who had a harpsichord. I wasn't supposed to touch it but I did anyway.

She also had a real human skull in her office. The top was sawn off and it had little gold hinges and a little gold latch so you could open it up and look inside. (She was an ENT so it wasn't that weird that she had anatomical stuff, but still...) It had crooked teeth and I was scared of it.

The porch looks like it’s raised a few feet, and that is almost certainly a CBS frame with impact glass. There’s no basement, the house is built on a concrete slab.

imo pool tables are as common as baby grands in terms of filling floorspace in giant houses but they're not as funny as a piano wedged under the stairs, filling a piano nook, or awkwardly placed in some kind of passageway in an otherwise knick knack crammed room

also a lot of telescopes which when placed next to a piano gives me a definite Sims vibe. i looked for a combination of telescope, chess table, and piano all in one shot, or the holy grail of a piano with a wall sword behind it, but no luck

We actually had all of these growing up

Granddad was ex navy officer so we had sword and telescope, I learned to play chess on the gaming table, and I had five years of forced piano lessons due to the baby grand

The baby grand was in my bedroom because I was the youngest child and by the time I came along the biggest room in the house was where everything that didn't fit anywhere else went, and that meant bookshelves, a ping pong table, and the baby grand. When I needed a room of my own they just moved some bookcases to form right angles and presto, new kid's room

I wasn't allowed to play under the baby grand because it had one bad leg and there was a fear it could collapse at any moment

First noticed this one because of the fabulous roofline. Sorry for all the pictures, it's a huge house and I'm trying to show most spots of interest w/o showing you 90 pics.

Getting slightly dizzy from the very first interior shot, which is a good sign.



Piano nook with wine.

Uncomfortable? Sitting nook?










That courtyard is actually pretty great, with this cool path through a koi pond, but this shows the size relative to everything else and just shows me how bloated the house is.

You better bite your tongue Billy Jean before I go give your house a foyer! Just call my personal contractor and straight up give your house a splendid foyer! You know the type of foyer I build! Columns so fine it looks like a temple in a garden! Pianos made from authentic elderly elephants! Decor with classy imagry like tigers and ferns and stately classic statues! Ooo! Mamma mia what a foyer! This foyer will render any foyer you've seen obsolete! Don't believe me?! Then keep talking poo poo because I am literally 3 seconds away from slam dunking this God-tier dream foyer directly into your house's entrance!
