Cute little place.

For a house that comes with it's own hockey rink, that's a really small dedicated card room.

 

[PlaidDragon]

Solution: move the pool table out of its currrent spot. THAT room becomes the dedicated poker room.

On the other hand, the padded seats in the pool room, would serve well as poker trail seats. If you take the house, you will have to keep them!

Nothing @T_Chan and @David Spragg couldn't fix.

Pffft. I’d not pay more than $52M for that.

It has glass floors in th 2nd floor gallery/hall. Just imagine the cocktail party upskirt shots from the 1st floor though the glass floor on the second floor. Courage and k9dr!!!

Wow super cute and fancy like the table set up

 

[Geremie]

How do you guys find these things?!?!?!?

 

[longflop]

I'm probably in the minority, but considering the resources likely available when building that house, that is a terrible card room.

 

[WedgeRock]

I would melt the ice and use that as a tournament room.

Not that cost is a consideration, but the expense of an indoor rink, coupled with the damage done by pucks, and the stink of hockey gear... Plus, I loathe boards and glass all marked up with pucks. None of that is appealing inside my house. I certainly don't want my kids' friends coming over to make the issue worse.

I would've preferred that be an indoor salt water pool. Lol the pool outside can be cut in half and replaced with a hot tub and fully screened gazebo in which a second cardroom would exist. The original cardroom does seem small for the money invested

 

[WedgeRock]

Saltwater pool? Dafuq?

 

[Jonesey07]

I'm more concerned with the fact he built an ice rink but didn't make it regulation size.

 

[justsomedude]

That table also commits a cardinal sin of poker... *NEVER store chips in racks/horizontally.

Octagons/ovals with built in chip trays drive me bonkers.

They're amazing lol should try it if you ever vacation at a resort that has one

In the early 2000's I got to do a construction review of Prince Bandar's house in Aspen. While driving up the hill we passed the home of Barbie Benton and George Gradow, and the client (who was driving) pointed out the residence/owners and said, "they have two different lap pools, because they like to swim in different temperature water."

He then added, "you know what the difference is between eccentric and crazy? Eccentric is just crazy... with a shit load of money."

Seems like a super nice, elegant property...except for the hockey rink. I don't understand that, unless you are Wayne Gretsky or something. It definitely doesn't fit in with the rest of property, not to mention the ongoing expense to maintain. Seems like that acreage could be used more elegantly.

And definitely would make the game/pool room the new poker room.

 

[Anthony Martino]

group buy?

I don’t understand why the basketball court has synthetic ice when there is a real ice rink attached to the house.

Sport court it looks like. Great for roller hockey.

If I could afford it I would do it in a second.

But why when you have a real rink is my point. Are you going to play roller hockey over ice hockey? I’m not.

I'm not either. Ice all day. I guess maybe he doesn't have ice year round?

The house wasn't built to be a museum. The article says they raised their family there. It also mentioned having boys... I'm sure they'll be in the NHL soon.

At which point play roller on the rink, assuming the floor is concrete and not sand. Maybe it is sand for future repairs.

I'm still holding out hope. I'm not even 36 and just turned in 13 goals and 6 assists in 8 games during my men's league season. I'll be getting the call to the show any time now, according to my agent.

I'd like to see more pics of the ice rink. It still bothers me he didn't go full size.

But you’re -12 so scouts are a little disappointed in your defense zone efforts.

 

[WedgeRock]

The only reason I haven't signed a pro contract yet is I don't want to jeopardize my amateur status.
