This week's Top 10 homes spotlight at:
www.toptenrealestatedeals.com/ includes a look at the New York home where Republican leaders Nelson Rockefeller and Richard Nixon met in secret in 1960 to design a Medicare-type health insurance plan. With Paul Ryan as the new Republican VP candidate, Medicare has become the latest political hot potato. It was also a touchy thing 52 years ago when Barry Goldwater called Nixon a “sell-out” and Rockefeller the “leader of the Republican left” for their ideas on health coverage for seniors. Former United States Vice President and New York Governor Rockefeller's New York City secret-meeting apartment is for sale at $27.5 million.

Lovers come and go but great real estate is there for the long haul. Both apply to Taylor Swift who just got a great deal on a home next door to her new 18-year-old boyfriend, Conor Kennedy. With its own idyllic private beach, pretty green lawn, separate guest house, 7 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, wide plank wood floors, and numerous fireplaces on Nantucket Sound, the home reeks of New England charm. The street dead ends at the Kennedy compound and Taylor’s yard is separated from the Kennedy estate only by a simple, low white picket fence. When Taylor pulls into the driveway, she can wave or stop to chat with Ethel Kennedy, Conor’s grandmother. Even if it turns out to be just a summer fling, America's sweetheart got quite the bargain. It was originally priced at $13.5 million – she paid $4.9 million.
Also in the news, a sad story in Georgia where Evander Holyfield is losing his 54,000sf home, the Dennis Hopper very artsy estate finally sold, and an Oregon woman who turned a cheating husband into a home sale.
