Tasteful friends, what do we think of Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham’s $22 million abode on the market?

Too much white.

where ? LA? overpriced.

It's actually the first house I've seen where I could move right in. I love the furniture, although the animal rugs have to go. It is beautiful. I don't think this is his decor, though. It looks too staged, and someone like him would have guitars and music stuff all over the house. I didn't see anything. There is also no studio or writing rooms, so my guess is this house was an investment, and he probably never lived here.

Frankly, It is gorgeous. What is not to love? I agree with the too white statement above, but I would likely only bring color in with art and furniture. Depending on the views and the location, $22 M is NOT overpriced for that section of Los Angeles - particularly for a home of this size and finish-out. Brentwood has always been swanky for good reason - the breathtaking hillside views of the ocean and easy access to the best parts of the city (without being way the Hell out of the way like Malibu). (Easy access to all of the best food and shopping that the city had to offer as well)

"He should have let Stevie Nicks drape some of her gypsy scarves over the lamps."

He should have kicked her in the cunt bone.

WAY too much white for me. Otherwise, nice.

Too much house to clean!

Realtor's write up states it was built new over a four year period so I'm guessing it was a tear down/re-build investment deal for him. Doubt he lived here. Brentwood property prices have gone through the roof in recent years so he'll probably make a decent profit.

I know brass fixtures are trendy again but I don't like them, especially mixed with gray in the bathroom. Very ugly. It's a nice house but nothing special.

Brentwood is a beautiful neighborhood.

[QUOTE]Too much house to clean!

When you have $23M to spend on a house, you don’t clean anything.

The epitome of generic. It was designed and furnished by a decorator. It has all the personally of a hotel lobby.

When you build your house

I'll come by.....

Lindsey's wife, Kristen Messner, is a successful interior designer and I believe they share an interest in architecture and real-estate. They built this on spec, which explains why it's on the generic side - it needs to appeal to the broadest possible range of tastes within its context (meaning no scarves or Tiffany lamps - sorry, Stevie). Their own home was designed in the style of famous SoCal architect Wallace Neff.

Someone who struggles with depression, obviously. Either that or they painted it white for sale

Lindsey has an enormous endowment

It has the one thing I hate about McMansions. Garages on the side of the front door. Yeah, most of us have to have that in our homes but I don't have 23 million. And for 23 million a garage situated there looks tacky.

[R17] Understood but it probably has something to do with the size and shape of the lot.

What is that funny small room with the tiny fridge, microwave and a laundry basket? I cannot figure it out.

Tasteful and dull. Looks like a high end hotel, not a home.

Stevie Nicks kicked my daughter in the vagina bone!

They appear to have a phobia of window treatments.

Positively modest for a new build in LA.

Nice house but not worth $23M, If a celebrity name was not attached to it it would sell for $11-12M.

It’s lovely and a class act . What a ridiculous price tag , but that’s due to the location . Same home in many other places would be 5-10 mill . You couldn’t pay me to ever live in LA again , though . Even in a 23 million dollar home . After ten years , the traffic there made me borderline suicidal !

We discussed this house last year.

r19, I am guessing that you are referring to the pool house that you can see off to the back of the property in several of the photos. That's why there are towels in the cabinets.
