Here’s an offer you can’t refuse—The Godfather house is on the market. For $2.9 million you can own a piece of Hollywood history. Along with the sale you get one of Marlon Brando’s cue cards and a piece of the stone wall the studio created out of canvas. This home needs some updating, but c’mon to say you live where the Corleones’ once did? I say pretty darn cool.

Ya, I guess you could say that I could definitely live in Aspen at a ski-in home—well ok a townhome. Either way I’m in! And that’s a lot to say from a sunny California girl who spent a winter in Connecticut complaining about how cold she was.
Boasting 5880 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths. Plus you get use of the Ritz Carlton Pool! Sign me up—well first I probably need to fall into a big cash flow—but then you know skiing all day and fabulous times sitting around the fire with friends and some good wine.

I could live here if you twisted my arm a little. I mean if I really, really had to move I guess this would be OK. I love the views from the pool. The house seems very modern from the outside, but I found it to be very warm and inviting on the inside. The beams in the living room and the terracotta tile on the kitchen floor definitely add that warmth. You can check out the complete listing with more photos here. And if your decide to buy–can you invite me for a weekend?
