Madoff’s Fla. manse gets “Meh” from viewers

From the South Florida Web site: It’s a Palm Beach mansion already linked to financial infamy, but Bernie Madoff’s 410 N. Lake Way five-bedroom house also gets the sharpest sort of dismissal — it lacks curb appeal. The vine-obscured, wood framed house is on the market for $8.49 million, but veteran Palm Beach real estate agent Douglas Rill called it a very ordinary property. Jim McCann, senior sales associate for Corcoran Group, the Palm Beach real estate firm handling the listing for the U.S. Marshals Service, said the house is in good condition and could appeal to a buyer not interested in drawing attention to himself. He added that he has been showing the home almost every day, and has already received a number of offers, though none have been accepted.
