Blagojevich’s Million Dollar Home!

Blagojevich's Million Dollar Home!
Notorious or celebrity? We vote notorious, though just a flash in the pan notorious, the type usually due to an ego malfunction - certainly not worthy of celebrity status. Just depends on how notorious you want to get. For example, Al Capone's house on Palm Island , Miami Beach has been for sale, and that's real notorious! No comparison in either the grandeur of the homes or the men.

This sale is likely the result of a federal judge requiring that he put his two homes up as collateral for bond based on his conviction on 17 counts of bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and attempted extortion.

The good news is that it's a nice house in a nice neighborhood. The bad news is that his wife Patty is the listing agent. Tip: Here's where you get your own agent to show the house. Is there anything more emotional that residential re-sales? Who wants a desperate owner gushing over a house trying to sway you? This little misjudgment on the part of Mrs. B. could make the difference in whether or not the house sells!

Built in 1929 in the Mediterranean style, the house has 11 rooms, 5 of which are bedrooms. After the Blagojevichs purchased the home in 1999, they did a major renovation updating mechanical systems, kitchen and baths and the master suite. Untouched were crown molding, the 3 fireplaces, plantation shutters and library. With practically no back yard, the house does have 3 outdoor spaces.

So buy this nice house and get your name in the paper. Just don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen! Listed at a hopeful $1,070,000. (Yes, that's 070!)
