A HOME DESIGNED by Hal Moldstad, the late noted architect who designed homes for Bill Gates and Paul Allen, is on sale for €2.5 million, Curbed reports.
The 4,764-square-foot home is located on Bainbridge Island in Washington State.
Although we don’t know who owns this home, the vaulted ceilings and woodsy design gives you a good idea of what it might look like inside a Microsoft co-founder’s vacation home.
The home is located on Bainbridge Island, across Puget Sound from Seattle.
A wood plank walkway leads through a lush garden to the entry.
The updated interior includes a large stone fireplace in the living room.
The ceilings are high.
And big windows look out on the water.
There’s a large patio where you can enjoy the sea breeze.
The home is located right on the waterfront.
Steps from the porch lead down to it.
There’s also an area where you can build a campfire.
The home has three bedrooms in total. This one has a walk-in closet.
This one has direct access to the patio.
The home also has a spa-inspired bathroom, complete with its own sauna.
There’s a large bath tub.
This home office looks peaceful.
And a media room makes for a comfortable hang-out spot.
Totaling 4,764 square feet of space, the home is a lovely Pacific Northwest retreat.

“I will finger you up the bum black boy before I fcuk you up the ass.”
Ten out of ten for originality and would work well in a Quentin Tarantino script, but inadvisable just the same to say to your passengers.
I could see why he “intrinsically recoiled”. Gotta love Judge’s language use from time to time. It’s brilliant.
Sounds like chat up lines
He sounds experienced
You had me at finger up the bum.
It does beg the question though, that if he was scared of the driver and believed his words, that this should have been looked at as an attempted rape or sexual assault of some kind as well? If he said that to a woman this would be a very different case and treated far more seriously. If the guy was actually in fear and believed what he said, then what’s so different?
If the “immigrant” wasn’t from an English speaking country, he must have had a strange TEFAL teacher.
Did i just make a rape joke?
@ted he wasn’t learning to make tea I hope ;)
Same sort of feeling as getting a parking ticket.
If the black man happened to be gay, would this also be called homophobic?
If you were less of a coward would you repeatedly post anonymous posts on The Journal? Of course not.
Posting anonymously allows one to avoid people like you.
Good point, it also begs the question, if a person of different race, residing in Ireland called an Irish person a drunk paddy potato eater, would the Irish courts see that as racist??
Mr D, no, they’d see that as spudism. And there is no room for spudism in our society. Spudists be warned.
“Judge Barrett said that what most likely happened was that Doran reached his hand out of the car to wave the bus on and this was mistaken as a rude gesture by the bus driver.”
People give me one finger waves all the time, and there I was thinking they were upset with me…the divils
Why is ‘BLACK IRISHMAN’ capitalised and in quotes? Facts are he’s Irish and black, so why the stupid reference?
Because of the obvious and delicious irony involved in the story. Obviously.
Oooh, I never knew Bus Eireann were offering those kind of extras,
How much would that cost ;)
Roses are red and green is the grass I’ll finger you black boy before I fuc€ you up the a$$ … Well that’s valentines sorted the smooth bast@rd.
That whole story is hilarious and terribly sad in equal measure.
“Judge Barrett said that what most likely happened was that Doran reached his hand out of the car to wave the bus on and this was mistaken as a rude gesture by the bus driver”
That’s magic…what world do these judges live in?!
There is no such thing as a Black Irishman. There are, of course many Irishmen and women who are black.
That bus driver sounds like a prat.
Jesus Scarr, he’s a Bus Eireann driver, what did you expect? Mother Theresa driving the bus?
True, I don’t have to get peasant-wagons often, so im out of the loop, thankfully.
Brilliant Scarr! I had to get one last year when back visiting Ireland… Horrible experience
Notions
What’s racist about calling a black man black?
@Science, because his name is Anthony!
Multiculturalism at its finest……
Very het up?
Thank you!
In Dutch het is one of the two definite articles
“Very the up”
Oh yeah I understand now.
“Het up” means angry/agitated, excited, not calm.
If he really is Irish (i.e. born and raised) and this is not in dispute, why is it in scare quotes? Unless there’s something more to the story (like he was only very recently naturalised or something) isn’t this title rather racist in itself?
Its Ireland, we still have a long way to go
Wondering why Black Irishman and White immigrant are in quotes? Are they not really a black Irishman and white immigrant? or are you just quoting hearsay?
They’re in quotes because they’re the judge’s words
Poor Black Paddy….ha….
Where did he assault him?
@ Josephine: it’s assault to just put somebody in fear by threatening
@The Oran muppet
Don’t labour the point.
F*** off you racist knob
Rather unparliamentary language there Paul.
Was it his back door that was blocked.
How did this ever get to court… my taxes at work…
Can I sue my parents for false imprisonment every time they grounded me for they claimed I was a spoilt little sh#t
Why the hell is Black Irishman in quotes? Was Phil Lynott not Irish? Paul McGrath? No need for quotes.
We have no black Irish men .white to be irish black to be African yellow I’d chinnese Japanese
@Laurence, what??
Phil Lynnott. That is all.
If an Irish guy goes to Japan and gets a Japanese passport is he Japanese? Would everybody refer to him as ‘that Japanese guy’? This guy is an African with an Irish passport.
Citizenship and genealogy are different things. If an Irish couple move to China and become Chinese citizens, their genealogy is still Irish, but their citizenship is Chinese. If they have a child together there, their child’s citizenship is Chinese but it’s genealogy is Irish.
The Irishman in question here is somewhere in the past of African genealogy, but his citizenship and home country are Irish and Ireland.
“The Irishman in question here is somewhere in the past of African genealogy”
How do you know that? Maybe he’s a cultural enricher straight off the plane from Nigeria. (Via Heathrow of course).
Because his name is Anthony Doran.
Oh for goodness sake, you do realise he’s probably of mixed heritage, right?
Bloody pathetic. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been f***ed out of it by other drivers and never gave it a second thought. Now you win the ghetto lottery if somebody’s rude to you. FFS,
Well, some of us have balls and don’t accept abuse from bus drivers.
Doran should have been told by the judge to stop being so sensitive and take a hike.
A typical type of a Scois Scealta yarn. They should add it to the irish school scyllabus.
Syllybus driver
Really angry at this . The Judge said ” he accepted the bus driver was a decent man who had no aversion generally against black people and regretted his actions”. That’s an ironic disparaging comment . The driver was a non national racist!!!!
You prefer national racists, do you Mag?
I can’t see anywhere in the article that claims Mr Doran was not Irish. I wont be taking Tommy’s word for it though/. He has never been right on this website yet. Hardly going to change any time soon. And now a racist as well as a homophobe.. where does it end??
First two paragraphs!!
Imprisonment for blocking his door for 10 seconds
A Nigerian and Israeli standing at a bus stop. One says “what times the bus due” and the other says “9:15″
A Jewish man and a Irish black man standing at a bus stop… The Jew asks “Do you know what time the next bus is”….. the black Irish man replies Naaaah jew!
Oran. You really need to go to troll classes because you’re really bad at it.
Sure aren’t we irish the blacks of europe so there’s no need to point out he’s black and irish we all black in the eyes of non irish people! Lol.
excellent choice of words. funny if it wasnt so sad
have your say
