An old upright piano was pushed up against a brick wall with the sign “Free Piano.”

The piano, once the pride of many American living rooms, seems out of tune with a growing number of households. People who own old uprights, especially the oak and walnut ones, often have the same problem as those with homes full of traditional brown furniture: When you need to get it out of your house, you can’t sell it or even give it away.

"I know it’s super-duper expensive to move a piano. What immediately went through my mind were visual images of how this piano might have been used. Maybe a family once sat around it or a kid took lessons on it? Why was it discarded? Pianos bring people together, they are part of celebrations.

The triple volume ceiling allows the sound to go all the way up three levels,” he proudly revealed.

The most ostentatious detail about the three-storey mansion is a full glass elevator that links all three floors from the living room.

Comprising three rectangular blocks oriented around a central courtyard and 30m-long swimming pool, this house not only accommodates seven family members, but also holds several surprises too.

The living room, for example, is spacious enough to accommodate a grand piano, and affords excellent vantage points of the front garden, the courtyard and the swimming pool.
