House of the Week: 17 Oakley Place

With a hefty $200,000 recently shaved off the asking price ("hefty" may be a relative term), this family home is just ripe for the taking. This nine-bed, 10-bath house on Oakley Place comes with multiples of everything you could want in a home, including two kitchens (because a nine-burner gas range may prove inadequate), and various spots for the storage and testing of vintage wines and spirits. So if you don't think you can get a mortgage on this place, keep your fingers crossed for a bartending job.

GOOD FOR:

Indoor aerobic exercises, reenacting scenes from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, hosting an extended family reunion. Also good for paper airplane-making and testing (in which case, can we all lay off the Reference Library?), and pretending you host a cooking show. And, on a sadder note, good for spouses who hope not to see much of each other.

MOVE ON IF:

You hate it when one of the bulbs on your chandeliers burns out. You have Ikea furniture. You'd rather give $33k annually to a car dealership (or, basically anyone) over the government. You'd like 11 bathrooms, not 10.
