THE WADE'S BEACH HOUSE

My jaw almost dropped open at the house in the Malibu Colony where the Wades are supposed to live. For some reason that house embodies the exact abode I would choose to inhabit if I had limitless funds. The lush grounds, the amazing view of the beach, the whitewashed brick walls, the potted plants, the furnishings. It exactly mirrors my own tastes. I wouldn't change a single thing. Then I read the house actually belonged to Robert Altman himself. Judging by his choices in filmmaking and of where he chose to live I would say we would have gotten along just fine. Wish I could have known him.

We'll see who's the filthiest person alive! We'll just see!

Wow, didn't realize that was Altman's place. It is a great house.

The oceanfront was amazing, but personally I preferred Marlowe's penthouse apartment. Wow, what a cool place to live.

I Googled Hightower and found a listing dated December 1, 2014 offering Marlowe's one bedroom apartment with private elevator for $2800 per month.

Amazingly enough, I think that's a great price! I'd love to live there. That is more than twice what I pay on my mortgage now though. :(

Those houses are easy targets for thieves.
