Reportedly, Tom DeLonge is selling his 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom Rancho Santa Fe, California home. For just under $8 million, you, too, can live like the lead singer of Angels and Airwaves. Or, if you prefer, you can run around in your white underpants and pretend to be old Blink-182 Tom DeLonge. Either way, I am sure he wants you to buy the house.
The realtor's site in no way mentions this is Tom DeLonge's house, so they're probably wondering why this one house is getting so much Web traffic. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to figure out why anyone needs five and a half bathrooms.
I was somewhat skeptical about whether or not this was truly Tom's house, but upon reading some of the flowery descriptions, I'm pretty sure it's the real deal:
"Appearing to float on water above a front
reflecting pool and rear waterscape feature, this elegant and privately
located retreat...."
[By coincidence, it is entirely possible that Tom DeLong walks on water, so it would make sense that his house would do something similar.]
"sliding doors that dramatically open the home to the outside...."
[Dramatic doors? Really?]
"...this extraordinary home must be seen to be believed."
[Much like the music of Angels and Airwaves, which must be heard to be believed.]
Anyway, if you buy it, let me know how your life has been changed. I was going to try and get a mortgage on it for myself, but then I saw this: "...a car collector’s dream 8-car garage that includes a newly built 4-car air-conditioned section with glass display doors." Total deal breaker. What the hell am I going to do with an 8-car garage that is only half air conditioned? I'm not a fucking peasant.
