    I love this house. I'd kill for this house. But a correction, being the leader of a Bobby Darin Yahoo Group and all. This wasn't built for them. This was the first house they rented after getting married. After that, they moved into Sinatra's old digs in Toluca Lake.

    I'd wake up every day in that house thinking I'd died and gone to heaven.

    Some houses just leave you speechless. I would walk from room-to-room dumbfounded.

    I'm a bit sad it's been modernised, a tad. But I'm happy to see it's still standing and is obviously loved.

    Thanks, MCM. Hope you're okay. How's your son?

    Great house, and I wonder if I have seen it before... is it the house where Shayne Lamas was living in her reality show I wonder?
