What a Million Dollars Will Buy - David Marquardt Architectural Photography

We recently had the opportunity to shoot two very different homes with very similar price tags. Both homes looking to fetch just over a million dollars, we found it interesting to compare what features one potential buyer might value over another.

The first home boasts a dramatic all-brick exterior with a two-story arch over the entryway. It is surrounded by lush grass and carefully manicured hedges. The elegant interior includes a spiral staircase, crown molding and shutters throughout, and another rare Las Vegas commodity–a basement.

The second home is a Tuscan-style villa within 5 minutes of the Las Vegas Strip. The crown jewel of home two is its tropical oasis of a backyard. Thatch umbrellas, waterfalls, rich greenery, and plentiful landscape lighting surround an immense swimming pool which could rival those of many hotels.

Many dream about what they would do with a million dollars. These two homes give a nice example of how, even given a million dollars, there are still big choices to be made!
