Beautiful shot...quite a nice house, too. She looks great, especially for 153k. Any pics of the cars he's got in that garage, lol.

That is a nice random pic of the day. Thanks.
I couldn't resist doing some house stalking using Bing maps bird's eye view feature which is oddly addicting!

Nice Beast, but...
yeah, that house is bangin'. I've never been to Newport, but, apparently, there are lots of mansions that were "second" homes for the well-to-do decades ago. They'd spend summers there and really enjoyed, among other things, playing tennis. Hence, the tennis Hall of Fame being located there.
