It’s obvious where the safe room is. 29:45, look at the white wall next to the bed and you can tell it’s a hidden door.
really ?? now everyone is gonna go try to find it... i couldnt find it...
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial just click on this and pause it. 29:45.
@@pokerpariah but he said its not in the Primary bedroom....ok as soon as he looks at that wall he remembers it ... and the tile in the safe room is the same as the primary bedroom ..... but where else did they use the same tile .... its a treasure hunt lol
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial if they didn’t put it in the primary then you can chalk it up as another severe design flaw. If you look at the lady’s side of the bathroom and closet, you can tell none of it involves that wall space I pointed out. They likely claimed it wasn’t in the primary just to keep it secret.
Yes i'm really impressed with your observation, but it would be wise to delete this comment, for future owners privacy and safety
The guy in video: “this is a gorgeous view”
Me: “this is a gorgeous view”
Ervin: “this is a sh*t view, I’ll tell you later why”
Me: “this is a sh*t view”
frrrr
I have seen this property everywhere, at least 3 tours on RUclips, as well as on Netflix. I am so glad you are making these videos. I have never been more interested in Real Estate than now when I started to watch your videos. You have helped us develop a critical eye and even more engagement. Well done Arvin!
you have no idea how happy that makes me feel .... :)
I always noticed something off with many properties and Arvin says exactly what I feel.
26:03 it was not very nice of Enes to mislead us with the "ocean view" and Arvin bluntly points out that the camera person zoomed in to make it look as if you could see it from the second bedroom. And this won't be the last time he exposes Enes' sneaky camera crew. He showed in another video how they sometime zoom very close to a door to make the entry way look much larger than it really is.
3:40 Arvin is spitting facts here. Fortunately my architect talked me out of a pivot door for my home for EXACTLY this reason. As the house settles, pivot doors will cease to close all the way.
hah seen that on automated factory gates, they ground out in winter summer and get stuck.
Your suggestion on kitchen and bar placement is really good. It would also free up room where the current bar and kitchen is for a larger, real, chef's kitchen. A house this big and expensive? It's a must have.
Also, I don't think the elevator goes to the main bedroom floor. That's weird and a miss...especially since the laundry room is a mile away. The poor housekeeper doing the laundry has to lug everything up and down that huge staircase.
Loved the video. A recommendation i have for you is that you should also start a series reviewing properties which are in your point of view justified for their price.
Sure will take a look open for suggestions
These videos are gold! i love watching them. Your commentary is always spot on, never going overboard, always giving them credit where credit is due!
I've been looking at this house for awhile and not understanding what I'm seeing... It's very eye catching but... off, somehow. I'm so glad you did this one because you pointed out and explained everything I was uncomfortable with but didn't know why.
For $68M it's missing the WOW factor, except for the "Wow, that's a lot of living rooms."
Hahahahhaa
The only wow factor is the price, but not in a good way.
The super rich probably have large families. 😁
literal laugh outloud
That's not at all rhe same wow. This wow is more like what the hell went wrong?
Great video!!!! I asked for longer format, in depth content and you delivered. Thank you very much. I appreciate your knowledge base. You go beyond pointing out hallways and sinks haha.
Thanks for ur input … will make them better and better … keep the suggestions coming … thank you 🙏🏼
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial suggestion only for my own selfish benefit. Nothing that you were falling short on. Thank you again. Love the knowledge you impart.
I want to see Enes and Arvin walk through a house together. It would be epic!
there is a funny story about that ... maybe i will share that one day
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial you should next video?
@@ArvinHaddadOfficialif I were to guess, I'd say you have some sort of a partnership with Enes in order to play so much of his video.
I envision you guys talking about these things behind the scenes and he's always wanted to say them, but that's not the theme of his channel.
Sneaky 😂
Im so sure, Arvin would sound like cranky moody wife in period 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@IGottaSay I'm not sure, honestly.
I'd assumed the answer was no, but heard recently on another channel that it's considered fair use.
I don't know the official answer though.
Good luck on your channel 👍
Haha! I did a lot of work on this house including helping to fab and install the steel spiral staircase, pivot doors, front wall and cladding. The staircase was an insane install, super dangerous. The view is much nicer in person, but this house has some serious compromises that I was critical of during construction. We also acquired and customized the pivot mechanisms for the doors to allow for easy adjustments and to increase the strength of the pivot to accommodate the insanely heavy door and off center pivot. When I discovered this channel I was so excited to see if Arvin would make videos on some of the houses I’ve worked on, very pleased to see he agrees with my sentiments. Btw, the safe room is wired up for networking and security. I’m not sure who they got for staging but they probably didn’t think to put that since it’s right at the landing from the staircase…
Btw if you know anything about the “architects” of this house, you’ll know why they made these weird choices
Thanks for sharing your insights!
@ thanks for the content Arvin, you’re awesome and hope to work with you one day. Your passion and understanding of true luxury really shines through in every video, also you give me lots of good laughs. Also, big props on the website, that’s an absolutely amazing tool and I love it so much, just brilliant.
Another EXCELLENT video! Thank you Arvin😃
thanks pal
I agree!!!
Arvin, the best video of this series, yet! The layout of this property is abysmal. I agree with you on the new layout for the main kitchen level. Also, the lack of privacy in the back and in the front from the street ( kind of the same with the Tione property). And, the fact that you don't have direct access to the elevator from the Primary is a joke. Good luck not kicking that step to the bathroom in the middle of the night.😂
ya thanks for pointing that out ... ya i dont think it was well thought out
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Definitely not! There's a lot of layout changes needed for this one.
That wine is being COOKED lmao
Right?! The bottles are being blasted by that western sun. Good grief. There’s a reason why they’ve traditionally been kept in cool dark cellars.
Coming here to say exactly THIS!
AAAGGGH! Yes, i dont get all these STUPID clear glass “cellars” in all these properties. Total BS, anyone who actually loves wine would never put bottles in such a crap storage!
I hope it's anti-UV glass and the temperature is well regulated. But even with that, it's still a dumb cellar.
I agree with your idea on switching the kitchen, bar and one of the living rooms.
Ya that creates a little separation between the living spaces
The theater room is tiny for $68 million.
ya its not the siiickest by any means
Thanks for explaining about the pivot doors, those are so common nowadays this is good to know.
fire insurance possibly being $30k+ a month is insane to me. i'll keep enjoying the desert in Vegas and fly out to LA for cheap when i want to see the water lol
Hehe nobody else noticed another major youtuber commenting here?
I love when it turns out a creator I follow also has their videos watched by another of my favorite creators!
And of course as of the time of me watching this video (and writing this comment) there are massive wildfires all across LA, and the incredible damage done to entire communities is very sad.
Happy to see a new episode! Great channel 😊
Glad you enjoy it! And thanks for the support
@@ArvinHaddadOfficialenes series are great. looking forward to more videos
The problem with these mega mansions in Bel-Air and Holmby Hills is the realtor says you can entertain dozens of people but there is absolutely no where for them to park! What are they going to do? All take taxis there and back? Mass hire a shuttle bus?😏
good point ... bel air rd parking is an issue... and its soo far up bel air ... i dont consider that upper part of bel air rd as prime
I LOVE THIS. This is the same thing I say ALL THE TIME when it comes to these mega mansions. It makes absolutely no sense to promote a house as an "entertainer's home" if you're guests have nowhere to park. Also, another thing is they call a lot of these big mansion's family homes but a lot of them don't have any kid friendly areas for kids to play in or outside. Also, no proper place for a dog to run around or due it's business. Then they want people to pay millions of dollars for something like that. When you can just save big money and move into a nice average family home with all the same amenities and also have a real yard, an actual driveway and all the rest.
@@faznoutI find these mega spaces cold and wasted. A smaller cosy home is far more cocoon like.
That's never an issue, people here hire valet service to park cars.
Do party and entertainment mean sitting in one of those living rooms talking to each other like on a cozy airport lounge? No great bars, no music, no open chef's cooking? Serious?
So you’re a billionaire who just bought this $68M house, guess where the office is… oh didn’t come with one.😂
omg!
You could use one of the three living rooms!
It looks more like an office building than a house.
Can easily remove a bedroom and convert it. Eight bedrooms is plenty, could hold up to 16-18 people. Besides, one limiting factor is the size of the kitchen. If you can't feed 16-18 people with a 3-door across fridge, you're going to have people-sustainability problems anyway so you might as well reduce the bedrooms by one.
Looks like they didn't put any effort into it or gave up at some point. No wow factor anywhere and no views. I can't see how they can justify asking that much. They won't get it. I TRULY dislike the front. Bedroom was so awkward. All of those living rooms reminded me of a college common area.
Thank you for these videos. I was in love with two of Enes's properties he toured. One is up for auction.Thanks to your video's I'm learning to figure out why it's at auction and didn't sell I don't think. LOVE LOVE LOVE these videos. Fun and educational. Thanks.
thanks lauren ... that makes me so happy
I feel like there was so much open space in the house they ran out of ideas on how to fill it up
Anyone who wins 100 million dollars in lotto should be forced to watch Arvin's videos and subscribe. I have learned so much. Thank you Arvin!
Thanks 🙏🏼 for the support pal
So many of the otherwise beautiful modern houses don’t look family friendly. They look like great places for single people to through absolutely huge parties, but not great places for children to live and thrive. I grew up in a giant, modern house on a hill with an amazing view, and I’m not a fan. I would never do that to my own kids.
i have theory ... most these developers build it for the guy they use to be when they were younger .... not the smartest way to make money .. the buyer pool is very small
I agree with your perspective.
I call this an example of the lazy architect phenomenon. Just fill the open warehouse with furniture. Look at the house when it’s empty and compare it to a house with definable rooms. There’s no warmth to this home, it’s a poorly designed echo chamber.
Ya I’m not a fan of
A wine cellar where the bottles are in direct sunlight?! That’s a complete flaw and I think it was not pointed out enough
It’s another spec built modern box that wanted to catch the wave back in 2014-2016. However (I’m guessing here), they probability bought the land around that period and finished just as the market for these types of home were slowing down, and they’re scared that they’ll be the ones left without a chair when the music stops. So why do they still price it so high?! Shouldn’t the goal be to liquidate the property as soon as possible and cut your losses?! Price is NOT a marketing gimmick, especially in the current climate
It’s currently listed for $58M and i don’t think that’s gonna cut it
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial If I won $75 million, i wouldn't pay even $30 million for this house. The room layout is a NIGHTMARE. Oh, and it doesn't look private with those houses that can see into 75% of your house!
I’m here for the sarcasm. LOL. I can’t get enough. Haha. A REALIST!
CONS-
•3 living spaces next to each other is agreed redundant.
•No private driveway is a big problem for me.
•Oversized pivot door is too much door.
•Never been a fan of green/living walls.
•Not a fan of the bar design.
•The pictured backdrop in the spa is questionable.
• The guest rooms are small for the property. Not proportioned.
•Black tubs are a no for me. Kinda like how you feel about dark kitchens.
PROS
•I’m okay with the kitchen (double islands are a bit much for me, so single is fine) but not the chef kitchen(agreed bad crapped design).
•More homes need safe rooms/vaults.
•I like upside down property’s done right. But this wasn’t it.
I would bypass this property even for 28M.
THANKS FOR THE LONGER VIDEO! So much to cover with these mega mansions.
I have to say this up front. Mansion tours are a guilty pleasure of mine, and although I've seen these homes before, never like this. Your insight is incredible, and the sarcasm makes it fun, not dry. I think in cases like this, you being able to render an AI version of what you would have done would be incredible. Well done, Sir! I have a new favorite feed now!
Thanks for the suggestion and supporting what I do
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial this has always been my favorite, but having watched yours I'm afraid what you might do to it haha. I only got 2:01 into it and stopped before you ruined it lol
ruclips.net/video/Us8mDKUaX2M/видео.html
When I first saw the Enes video several months ago, I had many of the same questions and concerns. Why so many living rooms? The powder rooms are an utter joke. And the location makes little sense. Finally, an idea for future videos. How about some of the other mansion tour specialists like Producer Micheal, JP Mansion Tours, and Darren Kriz. I'm sure these others are as extravagant in their reviews as Enes, and probably for the same reasons.
Looking at a lot of them… will switch things up a little in the future
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial Arvin, please do a video review on "The One" which is on Producer Michael's YT channel. It's absolutely hilarious: cameras in the bathrooms (WTF??), a nightclub that looked like it was thrown in just to take up room, second floors that are a headache to navigate. It has all the warmth and charm of a freaking shopping mall in an airport. I feel like I'm insulting airport malls, the malls at my local airport are almost all lined up on one side so the plane gates are right across from them. It couldn't be any simpler but it makes it easy to run to your gate if you're about to miss your plane!
@largol33t1 I hated that house and loved his video on it. The sitting areas, nightclub, the whole house sucked. The guesthouse was great. The designer just made a house that he thought would attract women.
Excellent idea on the new placement of the kitchen.
Thanks 3 seating area next to each other just doesn’t make any sense
Agreed
Great work! I really liked Enes's videos at first, but they became increasingly exaggerated to the point that, in my opinion, the latest ones are unwatchable. I really appreciate honesty and telling the full story, which is why I love your videos. You’re the best!
18:42 sunlight in the wine cellar? directly on the bottles? Is that not bad?
Loving your new content even more than before 🤘🏻
thanks max ... thanks for continuous supporting
I'm not halfway through the video and I already can't wait until u get to the library😂
Friends purchased a home in what they thought was Beverly Hills, but it was just a Beverly Hills post office address. I’m sure that it has been discussed already on this channel, but I am a new subscriber.
Arvin my goodness sir I agree 1000% with your narrative
I will never look at these properties the same. You definitely need to be hired in the architectural phase of the designs. Great work!
I stopped watching Enes' videos because he's such a con man. I won't take him seriously until Arvin uploads a video review that shows him telling the good AND bad about a property.
Those bottles of wine will get destroyed. They are in Sunlight. A wine cellar is just that - away from natural light, and temperature controlled. The buyer will have very expensive wines - you'd never place them on those racks. Total waste.
Plus the designer of this house clearly knows NOTHING about wine. 90-something percent of wines are sold in black bottles for a reason: sunlight is bad for wine.
Whoever likes this house will buy wine to flex, not to drink.
Large/heavy doors always seem like a huge unnecessary effort to open/close. Imagine walking in/out several times in a row. You don't have to go to the gym ☺
😂🤣🤣🤣
Arvin, I'm surprised you only have 9,000 subscribers, you deserve a lot more for the excellent and unique content you provide. Keep up the great work.
As for this mansion, it boggles the mind that a developer (not to mention the architect..) of supposedly high end properties can be this oblivious to basic design principles.
The living areas resemble a stacked, soulless furniture store, whilst the bathrooms and powder rooms belong in an office building. Worst of all is the lack of a setback from the street, there is virtually no separation between the front walls and the street; no one who can afford $68m would settle for this design failure.
Thanks for the support and contribution pal
Wow. This comment was made only 8 days ago and already your subscribers have increased by almost 3K people. That’s awesome.
Owner: "I can't wait to show you"
Neighbors around you: "We can't wait to watch you."
"...and the wife looks great when she's in the shower!" 😂🤣💀
And it's not only the location. They chose to make the walls out of glass whenever possible. It might be tolerable if they used these things called solid walls on the bedrooms with modest windows. Then if you want the full view you have to walk outside or on the balcony like a normal person.
Excellent Arvin 🎉
Thanks hardy 🙏🏼❤️
Agreed, again. That long hallway is like the service hallway at a mall or convention center.
Former wildland fire specialist here- the house itself is pretty safe from actually catching fire due to construction materials and landscaping, but yeah, you would still have a giant insurance bill. Plus the egress /ingress in fire emergencies would be
Dicey
Hello
I like that you start the to tell the good design and finishes about the house .plus and minus
Together. That tin tin comic book is so Persian love it
Cheers 🥂
So true what Arvin says about lack of video game rooms or small mixed arcades in these houses. Especially since the computer chip allows you to have thousands of games in one console. 21:30
Great video and analysis as always. One other major flaw I believe is that the wine cellar is exposed to direct sunlight. Not good for the wine with temperature fluctuations. Wine needs steady storage parameters. Its a shame that this home has so many design issues. What a cold and uninspiring layout.
I agree with everything you say always with the exception of today’s mention of the 5 living rooms being poor planning. I think that if I had a house that large, I’d like to have several social seating areas that can interact with each other and still have their own identity and feel smaller and not just a large space like a ballroom. I do agree very much that the kitchen should have been moved as you suggested
thanks for sharing your thoughts ... normally these spaces are so large that you can have multiple moments in the same living area ... you dont need 3 massive living spaces next to each other
Arvin makes a RUclips living sitting watching a video of Enes while critiquing him , a consummate professional whose job is to sell the property he's showcasing. His productions are always slick and we'll put together and he's definitely not going to sell any place down. To assume that is just crazy.
That being said, when I'm selling, I'm calling Enes. When I'm buying I'm calling Arvin.
Would you make a video about Villa Cullinan? I watched Drumelia Real Estates cringey video recently and love the property, but I'd like to know your thoughts about it
This is funny stuff ok watching it
That home in Marbella is insane
Please give more information on the insurance cost every month please in future videos,because 30k a month just for fire insurance is ridiculous but I’m learning thank you
Sure and that is If they accept ur application
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial wait what ??
The insurance factor was great info that many listing agents would bypass.
These videos are great. They show us that a lot of modern architects don’t care about space planning, how people will live in a house, how a home will age, how it fits on the land, the curb appeal, sunrise and sunset, heating and cooling of the space, fire mitigation, so on. Don’t even get me started on how they don’t care about anything natural or use anything natural to help determine the design of the house. They are literally building for square footage in these markets. For this kind of money you should be getting a piece of art and something timeless, not something that looks like a high end retail store.
Damn you're good. Well done. The no bedding & not prepping the house was stupid & cost sales. With a food & beverage background. The 4 or 5 main seating areas w/deck is good for entertaining 100 people. Well no, not really, the bar, the kitchen & the 'dining room'? Are not going to service any where near 100 people. & then... ONE powder room, maybe two? For 100 people drinking. Good luck with that. So not even that. The wine looks like it will fall with the slightest shake. (In Ca.) & Anyone that stores my wine collection where direct Ca. sun hits it, will have very bad things will happen to them.
They still haven’t sold this property? I know the original owner of the house that was there prior to this build. He even said when they approached him to purchase the land he told them what they want to do won’t sell. If anyone is familiar with the neighborhood. The house is EXTREMELY out of place.
There are 70 billionaires under 40.
14 of them are under 30.
The pool of eligibility is very small indeed.
And how many have taste this bad.
I love these commentary vids. Keep it up!
Glad you like them! thanks for the support
Don’t forget there is actually a 4th seating area next to the first formal seating (it’s in front of the stairs)
ya its like train station seating everywhere
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial It really is.
I've seen this house several times and felt like it didn't click. I couldn't tell why, but that's why we watch your channel. Bad layout, and harsh lighting blasting in horizontally. There are also some very visible utility poles. Who wants to see those when you spend so much money? I learn so much every video, like this one with the pivot doors.
Thanks Stan for always supporting the channel
Awesome video Arvin. A note on the wine cellar. The sun is shining all over the bottles. Can’t imagine that would be good for the wine 😂. Also Astro turf is hot as hell in summer and you can’t walk barefoot on it. We have it around our pool here in Brisbane Australia and in summer you need shoes to walk on it. I would NEVER put it in a yard.
I agree with the rearrangement of the 3 living rooms/kitchen/bar. It's pretty amazing, I really enjoy watching the videos by Enes, but your videos make such a great spin on them. It really makes you think beyond the glitz. Keep it up, these are great!
The place is designed for entertaining large parties. The kitchen is set up that way, for "take-out" canapes (and/or sushi). To drop a "formal dining room" in the middle of all that is ridiculous. Better would have been "a catered buffet table" or a "tropical bar". There is no formal dining room in a ballroom.
The wine cellar is in a completely wrong postion too, getting a ton of light which will of course ruin a red wine in just a couple of years, let alone the long aging premium wines worth thousand of dollars
nice idea on rearranging the dining area, kitchen and bar.
the breakfast nook should be striked out since there's another dining area outside right across it. i belive that's also the reason why they blocked the view of the breakfast nook.
Great video, thank you for fixing the sound lag.
Thanks for letting me know 🙏🏼❤️
How are pivot doors not a fire hazard with how heavy they are to push open quickly in an emergency
Should be a small door inside of the large door. Large door can just be for convenience when moving in large furniture.
I know it's unfair to compare a mansion to a single family home. But after watching videos of midcentury modern houses with their incredibly well thought out functionality, definition, and interplay of spaces, these huge and redundant "living spaces" worse than disappointing. Overall, this looks more like a commercial night-club than a home.
Totally agree with your interior remodel. Would make absolute sense to move the kitchen and but the bar where it used to be.
That's such an insane price point. I just did a quick search in another high end area. 15,000 sqft for $40 million, in a safer place to live, more beautiful location, better school district, and a much better designed house that feels like a home.
Love your reviews of those houses. I sometime got berated from other people for criticizing exactly the same things - like lack of privacy in a 40 mio. $ home. Some retirees may not care, but I don't to be on perfect display to anyone else 24-7 for this kind of price tag.
yah your idea for the layout is 100 percent better. you are right about the bar next to the backyard and the kitchen where the bar is
Again a crazily expensive house that does not make any sense for the layout of the floor plan. I totally agree with Arvin. I wonder what the architects were thinking as this is obviously professionally planned and built. Thank you for kindly addressing all the elephants in all the rooms again : )
Arvin, I think your layout suggestion is spot on.
The beds are parallel to the windows rather than facing the windows. If two people are in bed, when they wake up in the morning, they are not able to look past their feet out of the window at nature. Because the bed is parallel to the window, one person will be blocking the view for the other person.
i love your analysis of these properties. can you also do one about a property that you really like?
I want to see what you think is 9 or 10 out of 10 property
WAIT .. i understand your message about walking in on the 3rd floor but just aftr opening your door and walking into your living room is called an apartment. Good Home Designs feature an entry or foyer or lobby that does not put you into the living room but offers options to head in multiple directions towards a kitchen, dinning room or living room..or more.
I absolutely think your layout idea is much better. The kitchen is so beautiful that there must be more of it, and there is easy access to the bar from the pool-it's a no-brainer!
Good day Arvin could you review that Enes 638 Siena Way house? I know it is sold but it seems to be a ok upside down house. Thanks for the new Enes video review serial.
You have really outdone yourself this, Arvin. great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the support pal
Since AstroTurf doesn't hold moisture like regular grass it gets incredibly hot in the summer and can burn your feet.
Arvin, I love your honesty. I have photosensitivity so there would be no. I had seen that one bit was very surprised after hearing you. Thanks so much.
Is it my imagination, or will the shower door at 17:40 not open correctly. Notice that the presenter doesn't open the door. Look at how narrow the space is from the shower to the glass outer wall. I bet if you open it and it doesn't actually hit the glass outer wall, it is mighty close.
As a luxury real estate developer in Russia I really enjoy watching this type of content that outlines all the weak points of such high end property offers. Thanks
Is this a home or a resort? The main floor has the feel of a hotel lobby. I think what's missing is a front desk to check in.
Even air bnb lists exposures. When I go to Florida in the winter always get a nice south east exposure. Awesome for my family since we get a big pool hot tub lanai area…
I dont mind the front facade being basically a wall but the house itself just has too much space that you cant really use for anything. How many seating areas does a house need?
A car company, I think Genesis rented this place out for a release event, and craned the cars down onto the astro turf section. Speaking of the turf, I have artificial turf in my back yard, it has longer, darker green fibers, and has brown fibers woven in to resemble the thatch real lawns have. This place is asking more than 80 times what mine is worth, and it has the same turf people put on the balcony of a cheap apartment. Since this place is in Los Angeles proper, isn't there now a 10% excise tax on the closing price, so $6.8 million on top, assuming they get asking? Is this affecting the market for these, or is it more of a factor in the $5 - $10M range?
Just like the builders decided on a square footage first, this house wasn’t designed for a person or family, it was designed for a bank account.
These are great! you should do some of the celebrity AD house tours. Id love to hear your thoughts on some of these celebrity homes.
Arvin, in some fairness to the designer, you should visit northern Texas. Almost all the houses I toured had the master bedroom on the street level. I don't see what's uncomfortable about that. However, i do agree that it's insane to have the kitchen soooo far away from the master bedroom and the lot utilization is terrible. They should not have put the window side where it gets bombarded by the sun at 5:30 pm. I bet this house has sky-high electric bills because the a/c temp will have to be cranked down so often.
Wine rooms shouldn't have that much sunlight and heat. If you're a collector with a collection of 1000 bottles of wine, you're probably going to want to store them differently
Literally my new favourite channel, when I'm not trading/investing I'm literally just binge watching the videos I haven't seen😂
anyone else think its telling that enes is wearing sunglasses inside during his opening. to me that's not a perk but I also live where that's literally a greenhouse and the AC would need to be industrial just to manage the tonnage for the living space alone.
The backyard view reminds me of the movie "10" where Dudley Moore's character uses his telescope in his backyard to watch his neighbours across the way.
I like some the features you hated, lol especially that outdoor patio, I can see myself smoking outdoors in the rain just laying their enjoying the view..
Loving your channel🇿🇦
Who had the great idea of having all of these bottles exposed directly yo the sunlight? What the fuck
Also, why half of the house is so fucking exposed to the sun and the other half is that much somber? What they were thinking
I've watched so many Enes house tours, at some point I mistakenly started to assume, that Americans just don't value privacy at all. Thanks for you clarification, Arvin, every video. I wondered if it was just a cultural aspect and the American way of life would be that different to the European one. There are probably significant differencens between the mindset of each country how prominent you want to show your wealth. But all of those US houses have close to none privacy. But then again it's understandable, why Enes may showtour them and they aren't sold. Home is where you find your privacy. And each of these properties is just a stage in the spotlight. You can't paint the red flag any more red.
Another flaw about wine cellar. Wine does not like sunlight. And there all your bottles are directly exposed to the massive sunlight from the west you just talked about... no matter how expensive your wine is, it will be destroyed in a few days sitting in this room. Some glass can filter uv but total obscurity is way preferable for the wine conservation
Arvin. Thank you for these videos. I ❤ your laugh! Learning a lot about "luxury" property. Enis and his team are the best at what they do even if they do pump it up all the time.
