    Wow! 'Glass House' looks like a masterpiece work.
    How about privacy in glass walled house? that dissuades me from buying it. But I may change my mind :-p

    Thanks for your comments Rahul. Bedrooms and Bathrooms have drapes (curtains). So don't worry.

    In USA the real estate commission is 6%. Only the seller will have to pay. Not the buyer. When you buy, I will get a cool $2.1 M in commission.

    Thanks for your comments Aparna. Too bad you do not want to add this also to your collection. Am I getting a commission for advertising? I wish I were.

    Happy Onam.

    Thanks for your comments Latha. I am glad you liked these pictures.

    A half bathroom is a bathroom with only a sink and a toilet, but no shower or tub. It is usually situated near the living room. Guests can use this and do not have to go to any bedroom in the house to use a bathroom.

    It is interesting, but for some reason doesn't appeal to me :)
