If I Were A Rich Man

One of the drawbacks of blogging and typing is that you can't hear me sing If I Were A Rich Man from Fiddler On The Roof. But then again, it's probably better for you if you can't hear my singing.

Anyhoo, I'm putting some pictures of some beach homes in this area that I really like. Now I have to tell you, that the REALLY snazzy homes are pretty much all gated or something else like that to keep riff raff like me out. So these are homes that I can get close enough to for photographing.

I wouldn't mind living in one of these shacks. This is where the rich man part comes in, the cost of living on the beach, and the cost of beach property and car upkeep in the salt air is tremendous. Definitely have to have a healthy bank account to live on the beach in one of these homes.





This final home isn't a beach home, but since I'm showing houses, I thought I'd throw this one in. It's an old home in downtown Melbourne, Florida. There are fewer and fewer of these old Florida style homes around here. The property that the house is sitting on has increased in value so much, that many people buy a home, tear the old house down, and build something akin to the above beach homes on the land. This old house is surrounded by businesses and wouldn't really be a great place to live, but the old house is pretty, and well kept.
