Looks like a Brady Bunch home.

I still have mine from when I was around 12 years old. Of course, the painting looks like it was done by someone that age. But I've always loved it too. It seemed like a house where James Bond would have been high up in the Alps.

I grew up in Gainesville, Florida, and I remember a few houses along the basin that looked very similar to that.

I wish I would have carried a camera with me when I was 9.
