What’s this joyous news I hear? We’re finally being offered the opportunity to sleep where Ken Lewis hath slept my darlings! KL has slashed the price of his 5,700 square foot vacation home by 13 percent, to the bargain basement price of $3.3 million. Boone’s Boy bought the place in 2002 for $3 million, with a guy named Dennis Thompson, which is weird, but whatevs! It’s on Spring Island, a private community (gated for his protection) near Hilton Head and comes with a screening room filled with happy memories of movie nights with Ang Moz, and what is likely a rarely-used office. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
A BAC associate is staffed with the job of stashing bottles of Strawberry Hill around the living room (under the couch, in between cushions) each April so Lewis can go on his own version of an Easter egg hunt.
Where the magic happens.
Imagine the culinary delights Mozilo has spent many a night whipping up in here! (Lewis sent him to cooking school after the acquisition in anticipation of naming him BAC’s in-house chef.) Believe me when I tell you it was money well spent.
Look! It’s Tara!

2 here. I’m sorry the place is pretty tight. I can imagine Paula Dean’s slimmer hotter niece making me a delicious pie to match that accent. $2 Bod
is that really the interior? Or did you just scan a few pages from the Restoration Hardware catalog.
@4- that’s the interior. click through the slide show in the journal link.
“… comes with a screaming room …”
Eventually, they all scream …
– Snake Plissken
One thing to be said about K to the L, the man has good taste…. in deocr at least, lest sangria.
Porker Snosberry would not be caught dead in that place.
@4 ftw
Although I far prefer that to some of the absolutely tasteless, gaudy tragedies on CPW/UES/etc
@9- it’s a very decent looking place. hate on lewis for other shit, but that’s a nice house.
Not a bad turkey hunting lodge…
9, im going to disagree with you. The extent to which this place is filled with cliches is creepy. Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Williams Sonoma gone wild. BTW, I place pears on the counter in my kitchen that same way. Its so tasteful.
does it come the pimped out Navigator?

“Imagine the culinary delights Mozilo has spent many a night whipping up in here! (Lewis sent him to cooking school after the acquisition in anticipation of naming him BAC’s in-house chef.) Believe me when I tell you it was money well spent.”
there’s something clearly twisted about Elizabeth Spring (what’s it like in the brain that comes up with something like the above), but I dig it.
The house has clearly been spruced up by the seller’s agent. Normally there’s a rusted out GTO on cinderblocks in the front yard and the kitchen is strewn with bottles of Boone’s.
@15- who is Elizabeth Spring?
Ken Lewis is trying to sell a LIABILITY. Moz told him it was an asset. Ken is learning from his mistakes. Slowly.
@4 is dead on. Restoration Hardware should be paying a product placement fee.
When you put your offer in, be sure to ask the seller’s agent about any special fianancing arrangements that KL and Moz can offer–I’m thinking nothing down, no payments, no interest for 12 months…
those chairs look pretty high in the kitchen – are you sure that’s kenny’s place? no way he can get into one of those on his own.
@6 I thought you were dead.
cluzo, you didn’t see the grimace step-stool in the kitchen?
@12
Its a matter of taste, no doubt, personally I can’t stand stuffy, over-ornate UES type “luxury,” although agreed this place looks pretty OTR.
Any word on his Aspen place? I am looking for a deal
Mirror over the fireplace, bunch of lilacs on the island. Nothing of value here, probably meant for entertaining guests.
Is Ken a pitcher or a catcher?
This looks like Forrest Gump’s house…
“Run Forresst! Runnn!”
KL: “I’mm n-not a smart mannnn, but I ah know whut luv is-zzz…”
Somebody here said it best, “Why do the biggest assholes always have the nicest shit?!”
