The home also features "Jetliner views to die for" which might be code words for someone jumped off the balcony and committed suicide. UPDATE: Representatives for the above property have asked us to clarify that the property is not literally a finacial drain on resources, nor have any confirmed suicides been known to have happened at this address.
