love the view,……………..thats about it,……….looks like a house rather than a home,…seems like someone just shifted there n left their bags in the middle of the room….lolzz……hate it,…absolutely horrible…..,
although it has alotta potential,…..hope someone realises that and does it some justice……….!

I live near this house and often walk by on my walks and had heard she lived there. The outside picture of the house doesn’t do it justice, but it was fun to see the inside. This was a house that the former owner renovated and I was curious to see what the inside looked like. Thanks for the chance!

I really love this house. The chandelier and kitchen cabinets excluded I love the bathroom- I just wish that the walls had more color. It’s very simple and cottage-y with a gorgeous view of a lake. I might even spend my pretend 2 mil on it.

They say that youth is wasted on the young and they are *so* right.

Over 2 mill for that place. Location, location. I had a training center in Connecticut across the bay from Long Island and stayed in a house with a living room as big as this house. It must be worth zillions. It too was decorated in Old Rich with very, very understated rugs and furniture. The owner had just bought a farm in Hawaii for 50 Million so he had the resources to do whatever he wanted. There is no accounting for taste.

The house is nice - much better on the inside than the front view would have you think.

What I’m most surprised about is that none of Julia’s loyal readers pointed out that Nat and Dev are practically identical - same jacket, hair, wonky glasses. Gives new meaning to “attack of the clones.”

The house has great bones, but needs TLC. I wonder if she ever actually “lived” there. If not, it would seem that she is shedding excess baggage by selling it. Good choice, Natalie.

Okay, so I am one that will join with JLB and say I think the house is cute..unfinished and inder decorated but cute with lass amounts of potential. Great pool area. Love the dining room window seat but the chandy? Not so much. It all just needs….needs…something. You know?
The boyfriend? Hmm…maybe he has a heart of gold? Maybe if Natalie gets her asking price for the little house she can afford to get her sweetie a trim. PLEASE Natalie. Just a trim! That a a new pair of sun glasses.

Loved this, as I do all your posts!

Hugs,
Sue

I thought her house was cute. I doesn’t look like she ever finished decorating it though. The whole decor Is note quite “done”. I agree with Julia she probably doesn’t spend much time there. As fer her boyfriend.. she must have grown fond of the Chubacka character during her ’star wars” days.

In my opinion: she either A) has horrible decorating taste–not my first thought though. B) got rid of tons of stuff in her house in order to sell it–not very likely. Or C) Is like most famous people and is too busy to spend time making her house a home.

About the whole boyfriend thing, I thought hey I know a lot of people who are completely different form their appearance. (Maybe he is just holding her bag for her) But who knows, its a Hollywood relationship, what do we truly expect to happen.
