Things I don't understand: 1. Is it "just under one acre" or "over one acre" 2. Does the host know what "grandiose" means 3. If we're trying to sell the property, why are we focusing on personal belongings the owners will likely take with them?

Love that they restored some of the orginal pieces of the house, it really fits in with their decor style and themes. I love the mixture of personalities in the furniture and decorations.

@@PlzzSayLess Oh no worries. I'm sure Elfman could afford a dozen Steinways if he wanted :) The Yamaha series is really popular within the more pop/jazz/rock music world (because it has a sharper, brighter tone, and is lighter to play), and considering Elfman started out as a singer-songwriter in his band Oingo Boingo that could explain it :)
