After a really, really, monumentally, horribly bad day, I thought it might be interesting to cruise around the Knoxville MLS and look at houses I could never, ever afford. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment. What I found out is that there are exactly 80 homes in the Knoxville MLS listed at $999,000 and up.
The most expensive is a 5 BR, 5 full bath, 4 half bath, 12,000+ sq ft home on a man made lake in Farragut. List price? $4,375,000.
I have to say that the whole concept of 4 half baths completely threw me for a loop. Where are they? Why would you need them? Why when you're talking about a 12,000 sq ft house would it be overkill to go ahead and just make them full baths? These questions are going to keep me up tonight.
Here are a few more of my favorites:
A 5 BR, 5 1/2 BA, 14 acre waterfront home on Topside Road, including a 5 car garage and 4 stone fireplaces. List price: $1,750,000
A 4 BR, 4 BA waterfront home on Kingston Pike, built in 1928. List price $1, 750,000
A 5 BR, 4 1/2 BA Frank Lloyd Wright designed home on over 8 acres off of Duncan Rd in West Knox. List price $2,195,00
Aaahh, I feel better already. And hey, just because I can't afford any of these doesn't mean you can't. And if you can afford them, why don't you call me? That would make my tomorrow a much better day than my today was. Heh, heh, heh.

"Where are they? Why would you need them?"
When entertaining guests, the guests will need a sink and commode but not a shower. So they would be located near the pool, the dining areas, and other entertainment areas. They are needed purely for convenience that doesn't involve bathing.
Thanks Doug. I was tired last night and trying to be facetious and I guess it didn't work. I appreciate you letting everybody else know what the 1/2 baths are for.
