Mansionmania Tournament: Round 2, Heat 2

[Rain Man]

Mansionmania continues with our 32 2nd-round contestants. You will choose among each pair of houses with the following assumptions:

• The purchase price for you is $0.
• All maintenance, utilities, property taxes, HOA fees, and cleaning is included.
• You must live in the home for the rest of your life.
• You can't travel more than 100 miles from home (via google maps drive time) other than 1 two-week vacation each year.
• You get $250,000 per year as a living allowance
• You get an additional living allowance at the cheaper home, which will be valued at 1% of any cost difference annually. I will note this amount in the poll.
• You get the furnishings. If unfurnished, you get an allowance that will give you mid-grade furniture in every room.
• You get any vehicles in the garage. But only the garage - nothing parked outside.

I encourage you to click on the maps in the listings to see the general location and neighborhood.

Also, I will only enter contestants if they have a sufficient number of photos to judge, as determined by me.

Your entries in this heat are:

Delaware:

(Note: the Virginia house sold and was taken down, but I found it on another web site.)

Delaware is a fine house, but it's half the size and I don't like sand being tracked in.

Virginia for me.

Same. That Delaware home is one I wouldn't want irregardless. Just bland and right on top of others.

Virginia could win this whole tournament.

Looks like the VA house just sold.

I guess all these contests helped sell it to one of the rich CP members.
