Obviously,
at PropertyRecord.com we love real estate. And we have to keep an eye
on real estate related news. Usually, that's fun for the
PropertyRecord.com staff. But today we saw an item that made everyone
at PropertyRecord.com sad: Gary Melius, who owns perhaps the most
famous house in America, was shot by an intruder.
Melius
owns the estate Oheka in Long Island. This estate is very famous for
several reasons. For one, it's the second-largest private home in
North America. For another, it is the home that inspired F. Scott
Fitzgerald to write The Great Gatsby. Finally, it is the home used at
the set of Xanadu in Citizen Kane.
Any
home that could inspire both one of the most famous novels and famous
films of all time is something that the PropertyRecord.com staff is
going to pay attention to.
Melius
was parking his car in front of his house when he was shot, police
said. They said that they don't have any suspects at the time, and do
not know of any motive for the attempted murder.
Thankfully,
Melius survived the shooting, but he is still hospitalized. We hope
he makes it through, and is back is his house soon. And we hope that
whoever shot him is soon in a “big house” of their own.
We
cannot imagine how terrifying it must be to have a gun pulled on you
when you are safe at home. And so our prayers are with Mr. Melius.
