If Blanche Devereux won the lottery, she’d buy this house.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore this place. Absolute time capsule. There’s some Memphis style going on for sure, especially in one of the kitchens and main living room, but I’m having a hard time nailing down some of the other influences. Love the blobby couches and the pink marble fireplace, too. Gonna be a real shame if it gets bought and gutted, unaltered relics of this kind of design get more and more rare every day. Seeing it all intact, in situ, is a real treat.

I’ve lusted after this house for a long, long time. It’s stunning. I’d really want to buy it and change very little. It’s such a time capsule of this period and it’s (for the most part) pretty well done. It completely plays to the 1980’s version of me playing video games at the mall between trips to the food court.
I’d like to know the full story of of - from what I could gather it was built by a woman who was an heir to a casino fortune. There’s videos that show the basement or garage with an unreal jade collection…
This home boggles the mind.
I’m fascinated by it, too! Went looking for that video you mentioned with the jade collection and found one showing it here: https://facebook.com/watch/?v=569020310412214
Might be a better version off of Facebook somewhere. The linked page with more photos (from when it was listed at Sotheby’s, I assume) makes it look a bit more modest with colors that are more muted than the ones on Zillow. Disappointed to see that the pink marble fireplace isn’t actually pink-pink but a neutral beige kinda tone. Some of the jade shelves are shown there, too, in the entrance to the garage. It looks like there was a full workshop down there, too, for what I assume was cleaning and preparing the jade? So many questions.
Good find!! I’d love to own that property and have a retro arcade fully built out where the jade collection went, and in the garage a white Countach, a black 993 911 Porsche, and a red Testarossa.
