"Razor" Lajolla, CA Mega Mansion...

[Falcon56 10+ year member]

I'm really into more contemporary and modern design, I must say, this master piece has to be the nicest modern home I have ever come across. I knew about it for a while, I just wanted to share in case anyone else has a real-estate fetish like myself.

Architect Wallace E. Cunningham has been deemed one of Architectural Digest's Top 100 Designers and today's estate shows why he earned that title. The Razor in La Jolla, California is as perfect a slice of concrete and glass positioned for ideal ocean views. When Architectural Digest published a piece about this property last year the owner, Don Cooksey was quoted as saying :"I'll never have a collection better than that view," says the software designer and entrepreneur. "That's my art. That thing's alive."
The home offers a panorama revealed in a series of curved forms set into the cliffside. The soft angles keep the house from being simply another modern glass box. The 11,000-square-foot home has four bedroom including a master with a large swoop of a fireplace. There is also a two level guest house and features private access to Black's Beach. The home hit the market last July for $39 million but is now listed at $32 million.

UPDATE: As of September 2009 this house is listed at $28 million. Experience more lush living in luxury homes and mansions or see the stars living large with celebrity homes galleries at AOL Real Estate.

I admire the architecture, but I don't really see myself living in a house like that. Though I'd love to have the cash to be able to.

My mom's electric bill with pool is 700 a month plus minus 20 bucks according to FPL bill

Many lights on overnight because that's how she rolls..

What are you talking about? My pool only costs me 300 a month to run.

So you have an infinite edge pool, and pay $.37 a kilowatt hour? If you cant say yes to both of those questions, your input is worthless.
