    Can you opt out of the full time housekeeper and caretaker? Do they live on the property? Just the idea of it, creeps me out. Who wants to rent a place that comes with strangers?

  2. SR: They don’t live on the property. They come in to take care of the property.

    Actually, I don’t know many people in this price range who wouldn’t have a gardner included (as I assume that the “caretaker” would take care of the lawn/backyard as well as other caretaking issues.)

    And the housekeeper is also pretty standard at this price range. (Either rent OR own.)

    Why would you want to have a place this big and take care of it yourself? Not me.

  3. is this the place at the end of lincoln park west, dead center? This is a neat string. Why are there heaters in the back yard, like they have at clubs on outdoor patio’s?

    YES

    “Why are there heaters in the back yard, like they have at clubs on outdoor patio’s?”

    So they can sit outside when it’s not quite warm? I’ve been to a number houses in California that have them. They’re available to rent for an event at your house, too.
