Thanks for the link. Love the pics of the interior and the pool. That's where Tony proposed to Elvira in Scarface.It's a magnificent property. Previous owners include Frank Lopez, Calderone and Gen. Lao Li

The famous house is for sale for $38.5 million.http://www.alexshay.com/listings/propertylistings.asp?propertyID=148This is a good site since it shows pictures from the interior...

You can almost still hear the echos of all of the scenes shot here....Didn't Shaq own this home at some time..? Wasn't this originally Nixon's home ?Maybe just folklore...or typical real estate agent hype...I still think the pool scene in Evan was probably one of the best shot here....

Thanks for the link Chum, it's a wonderful house!It's weird though that a house like this has shower curtains that look so ugly and cheap. I'll have to complain about them!

what would be cool is if one of us had the money to buy that place, and we held the convention there annually. now that would get some turn-out!!! :)stinger could bring his boats (and anyone else who has them), and we could have a BOAT RACE!! bimini and back ;)

I've been searching the net for a picture from Scarface, but can't find it...It's when Montana is standing beside the window and he sees the Pan Am blimp with "The World is Yours" written on it.That's one of my favorite scenes and he's standing in this house as well. Really iconic, but I can't find a picture!!!Would be good to post a picture of that scene in this thread.Also, I think it would be good to post any pictures from MV of this house in this thread...

Nice find, Chum, and thanks for posting. Still interesting how is still furnished in the 80's style of all white, though what's up with the green bath fixtures? A gorgeous piece of property. Would love to get a first hand look.

You should take a look into our .info download area. There's a zip file with lot's of pictures from inside the house ;)

The Specialist with Silvester Stallone and Sharon Stone was also filmed in this house.

i didn't see any photos :(

It's a ZIP-File. Do you have a program to unzip?(I just tested the download and could see the pics. They got unzipped automatically.)

Thanks for the great pics chum. If I win the powerball lotto I'll buy it and hold an annual MV party there- seriously. In reality the pool scene in Evan was shot at 1727 W 27th St' date=' Sunset Is #2, Miami Beach. See flamingo 22 at http://www.miami-vice.ws/vbcms.php?area=vbcmsarea_content&contentid=9

What did the add say...10,000 square feet I believe??? I'll have to double check, but it is an absolutely gorgeous place for sure!As for the boat racing...no I don't think so...but boat rides are no problem!I don't want to hurt the boat's hull, so I do not beat on it very hard. I have been in Poker runs and come in dead last, but at least I'm still intact and I still have fuel in the tank where as others have already refueled!
