The Ultimate Tech Bachelor Pad by Esquire

What would the average bachelor want in his dream home? Apparently a bachelor pad stocked with 10 flat-screen televisions throughout, a touchscreen table-style computer, a soundproof screening room, an 800-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar, and an insane $50,000 CXC Simulations Motion Pro II Racing Simulator according to to Esquire magazine, who commissioned California-based firm TempleHome to build the ultimate ode to manly daydreams...

Oh yeah, did we mention the house they used as the canvas for all this tech-overload goodness is a $14 million, four-bedroom, seven-bathroom house in the Hollywood Hills? The bedroom is appointed with a $25k horsehair and wool mattress, and get this, a four-foot digital image of a reclining nude woman that occasionally moves floats above the bedroom fireplace. Someone didn’t tell these fellas that there’s a full blown recession going on. Check out the full details at How to Build the Ultimate Bachelor Pad 2008: Esquire House Hollywood Hills.

How come they never have bachelorette pads? I'd take all of the above! What does the kitchen look like, I wonder?

All this place needs is Brody Jenner, his doucherrific posse, some lower-back tatted skanks, and a bucket full of roofies.

I guess "bachelor pad" means "completely lacking in subtlety".

Why is the tacky zebra rug a prerequisite when designing a "bachelor pad"?

I had a chance to visit the Esquire house this year, and the kitchen was my favorite part of the whole thing. Too bad it didn't make it into the house tour. It was huge and gorgeous and had more gadgets than I ever would have imagined. Apparently the Esquire bachelor loves to cook...
