I know this is basically the same article I sent in earlier in the week but it is a different paper. And I'm bored as heck! My hub is in the kitchen cooking dinner for my birthday and I'm stuck in here on this blasted computer!!!!! I can't wait to get out of this bed!
01:00 AM EDT on Saturday, May 5, 2007 The Wall Street Journal Academy Award-winning actor Nicolas Cage has taken a pair of recently purchased San Francisco parcels off the market after briefly listing them for sale.The properties a 90-year-old house and an adjacent vacant lot went on the market two weeks ago for a combined $9.4 million, the same price Cage paid when he bought them through a trust in September. Reached for comment on the listing, a spokeswoman for the actor said the lots were not on the market anymore. She declined to elaborate. Listing agent Mary Toboni, of McGuire Real Estate, who also represented Cages trust when it bought the parcels, said, Hes not my client.The house, which its listing called a Gothic Tudor mansion and is in the Russian Hill neighborhood, has views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The six-bedroom house has an arched stone entrance with a wrought-iron gate, and a master suite with two dressing rooms. The house was listed for $7.9 million, the roughly 2,400-square-foot lot for $1.5 million.In recent months, Cage briefly listed a house in Bel-Air, Calif., for $35 million before withdrawing it. He has also bought property in New Orleans and Las Vegas. The 43-year-old actor won his Oscar in 1995 for Leaving Las Vegas; his latest film, the science-fiction thriller Next, opened last week.http://www.projo.com/business/content/HO_NICCAGE_05-05-07_JH5E356.1c2ab41.html
