Birmingham Township: What an $8.6 million house looks like

I've always been curious about that huge, ultra-modern house with a gated driveway off the winding part of Route 100 north of Hank's. If you have, too, check out the photographs on the realtor.com website before the listing is removed as "sold." The 21-acre property overlooking the Brandywine went on the market three weeks ago, with an asking price of $8.6 million, and is already listed as "contingent."

Built in 2007, the 24,000-square-foot house has five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three powder rooms, winding open staircases (plus an elevator), a home theater, an infinity pool, an air-conditioned pool house, and an temperature-controlled, drive-through garage with room for eight cars. 

As for the kitchen, I quote from the real estate agent's description: "Custom Gourmet Kitchen sure to make an executive chef jealous features multiple ovens, several refrigeration drawers and dishwashers, custom cabinetry, and only the finest appliances." 

I wonder who the new owner will be? The listing agent notes that the estate is located "25 minutes to stadiums," which makes me wonder if he had well-paid professional athletes in mind. No matter who buys it, Birmingham Township stands to reap a tidy sum from the property transfer tax on this sale.
