Most of the press about the house mention how it looks like a villain's lair. Source: Organic Modern Estate
Season of the Eagle LRS Art Medley byBev Doolittle I'm not sure if Doolittle is secretly an evil villain. If so, it doesn't come through in her art. Her notoriety as the "camouflage artist" does seem to come into play in the design of her lair. Nonetheless, for $3 million this place could be yours. More information can be found here.
