  • How many people can say they have a giant chess-board in their backyard?

    You might be able to make a pretty penny renting out rooms in this 7,800-square-foot Hamptons house. It has eight bedrooms, and more amenities than most hotels. It’s near the ocean and has a pool (with guest house, of course), library, garden, giant outdoor chess board and plenty of outdoor (and indoor) entertaining space. All for the bargain price of $18.5 million.

    Bring your friends, neighbors, kids, pets—no one family can occupy this much space.

  • Back Forward Odd construction of this living room for such an otherwise spacious house.
