Razors Edge ★ Posted March 20 Share #1 Posted March 20 ...like @Allen Nearly two decades in the making, the resulting Lake Placid house has flying buttresses, intricate ironwork, hand-cut stone walls and bronze windows and doors. Now, Barile, 64, and his wife, Pat Barile, 59, are putting the roughly 70-acre property on the market for $28.5 million. If it sells for close to its asking price, the estate will set a record for the priciest home ever sold in the Lake Placid area. The current record is held by an adjacent ranch that sold for $13 million in 2005, he said. Located beneath the Southern Adirondack High Peaks, the property skirts the west branch of the Ausable River, and includes a small brook with trout and a 5-acre private pond with a waterfall. Joe said he purchased the property for $5 million in 2007 from the estate of inventor George Holley, the late car-carburetor manufacturer. The Bariles demolished an existing home and spent seven years on the initial construction, moving into the new house in 2015. ...and who needs solar why you have HYDRO power, Baby! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen ★ Posted March 20 Share #3 Posted March 20 I will put it on the list I found a bank that I like. The safe room is literal and not metaphorical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted March 20 Share #6 Posted March 20 I continue to be fascinated how lavish some homes are built. Never mind, furniture and carpets since that's all movable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted March 20 Share #9 Posted March 20 Having your own vault would be badass. Keep your liquor and guns locked up tight! There was a restaurant in Plano back in the day that was owned by my friend's parents. It was called the Safecracker. I believe you could sit in the old vault and have dinner or drinks. I take that back. Just found an old matchbook. The salad bar was in the old vault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a restaurant in Monticello, Ga that is in an old bank. The vault room is wallpapered in Confederate money. I really like the idea of living in a bank. It's solid. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted March 20 Share #12 Posted March 20 Methinks there needs to be a front foyer when person steps inside ...maybe done with different flooring. The sudden entrance dumps the person into the home feels kinda messy. I'm sure a nice clothes rack of some sort on side / tiny sitting bench. Wonder what upstairs looks like. Would be good to check air conditioning system too if a solid "old" bldg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
