Which of These $4.8M Medina Mansions Would You Buy?

Imagine you have around $4.8M to spend on a place and you've narrowed it down to two Medina homes that just hit the market. How do you make up your mind?

↑ We begin with the 4-BR, originally built by Steven D Smith and remodeled by Schultz Miller in 2010. Tons of amenities strewn throughout this custom-built home, including red birch hardwoods, chef's kitchen, high-end custom light fixtures, 1,500 bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar, movie theater, invisible fence and playground.

↑ Now it's on to the 5-BR home which brings a little Nantucket Style to Puget Sound. Inspired by shingled Eastern Seaboard resort architecture, this massive property is actually six bedrooms if you include the guest quarters. Features include an "entertainer's dream kitchen" & chef's prep kitchen as well as a game/movie wing. Not rooms, it's a whole wing!
