The Doc,a millionaire,since when,what did I miss?

Thats very interesting, it would appear that it is or was a window there and its still there but of course blocked off from the add on rooms in the back!

Here is the blue print that I was refering to that shows "some" kind of opeining there though...

Not to go too off topic, but heres a picture of the Graceland Kitchen stairs taken this August: the door top right is the back of the dor you see on the left at the top of the first flight of stairs from the front door stairs.

I can only echo the sentiments already expressed, but thank you is in order.
What an exceptional post.
The possibilities for renovation boggle the mind.

If I were in the right financial position, I would try to bring it up to date as I would envision Graceland today, had Elvis lived. In other words, granite counters, hardwoods, stainless top end appliances, spa bathrooms, media theatre, warm, subdued colours, etc.

What a great opportunity awaits the well heeled collector!

Hi Jeff,

If we flip the 2nd floor to match the back of the house I posted, you can see that there was something there (as you indicated). It must've been a window that was visible from the back of the house until the dressing room addition was built on.

Great photo EP! Thanks for sharing it

I hope Pep indulges us by letting us know what he saw at the top of the landing in the Miss. house. I'm wondering if there was a window there as well.

#398528

Nope, No window

What an interesting thread !

I had no idea such a house existed !

#398571

awesome pics..

much better than this idiots place

#398576

What an OUTSTANDING find!

It's the same, but different -- at every level and in every way. Kinda creepy.

It's a very cool property, but I think Elvis chose correctly. With the decor, anyway. I never thought I'd hear myself saying this, but EP's Graceland is, by comparison . . . austere. If Elvis had decorated his home like this "Byzantine Graceland", I don't think it would see the numbers it has. This alternate is too much like a regular home -- albeit spruced to the nines.

Still, what an awesome property! You get a better sense of the charming nature of the structure seeing it repeated in a different configuration. I think it was Godard that said (paraphrasing): "to critique a film one must make another film". The same principle seems to apply in a slightly diffuse fashion here. And hey! Maybe there's a parallel universe where Elvis bought this Graceland!

Awesome house. Just don't let Uri Geller see it

Maybe it's just me, but if I had the cash, I'd make mine an exact replica, not just a "Tribute" house?!?!?!?

#398590

Ok, just curious... but how much are they selling this home for?

If you don't want to give exact number PEP could you give us a ball park figure?

Wow, this is one cool thread. Very interesting photos, PEP. As someone has suggested, it is pretty spooky to see it. Amazing that more has not been made of it, and that Elvis was actually aware of this place?? Incredible! Thanks for the pics...

The asking price has changed a few times, as I have been working on this for well over a year now.

The last time the price was posted was $650,000US tho I know I'm confident I could do much better than that if I bought this today.

For what One gets it seems rather low, but because of where it is, it is still high and because there is also lots of work to do to get it up to par, meaning the updates that need to be done can be anywhere from fifty to a hundred grand minimum if not more depending on what One wants to do.

Still in one way it is still turn key to a certain point.

If this were in my own city for example this would be worth well over two or three million if not more depending on where it is here.

So that is another reason why I was attracted to the home and property.

Danny U is or was a Elvis Impersonator.

Pep, thanks so much for posting the photo of the stair landing and wall. I guess that's one area where the blue prints differ from Graceland.

This thread is incredible and I'm utterly fascinated! Thank you Pep!

#398762

Thanks for answering my question PEP, not a bad price indeed(not that i could afford it lol)... ok next question... which room are you going to put all your jumpsuits in, or are you goint to build a racketball court!

PEP

Danny U is or was a Elvis Impersonator.

Well He must be or must have made some serious Money from it if He could afford a House like that.

The House You posted PEP would have cost at least One and a Half Million if not more in the UK. If had that House I would make it an exact copy of Graceland.

#398794

650k sounds like a deal to me? With the rate just dropping, a mortgage wouldn't be terrible. 32 acres and a 4 acre lake?? 7200 sq ft house right???
If so, that's about $90 per square foot. I live near Chicago where homes are closer to $175 per sq ft.

BUY IT!

#398988

Thanks PEP for such an interesting post! And to Jon for that California Graceland, although I find to white, and very cold looking.

#398997

This has definitely been one of my very favorite threads!

Pep, do you happen to have any photos of the back of the house you might be able to share with us?
