Steve Jobs house plans; more HGTV than Cribs
Jobs gained approval to build a new 4,910 square foot, $8.45 million single family home on the site – about one third the size of the Jackling estate it will replace. But the story is how minimal and utilitarian the new house it, especially when you consider the money was no object in its design.
