Two F. Scott Fitzgerald homes have just gone on the market. Fitzgerald lived in both the United States and France. Cap d'Antibes was Fitzgerald's location of choice and he spent much of his time in a romantic and ever so stunning 19th Century villa overlooking the sea and the harbor from its terraces. Villa Picolette, the home that inspired Tender is the Night, is now for sale at $35.5 million. And the Maryland home where Fitzgerald returned to publish Tender is the Night went on the market at $450,000, and sold in less than a week.

America's new most expensive home is $135 million, and is in Texas. The Crespi Estate in Dallas consists of the main house, a guest mansion, pool house, vegetable and rose gardens, a spring fed creek and pond, lawns, woods and tennis court on 25 acres. The seller is Thomas Hicks, former owner of the Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars.
