It\u2019s in a wonderful full service building. It\u2019s safe. It\u2019s private. It\u2019s got exceptional views of the Hollywood Hills.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a brand new building, so I just did the art and decor and things like that. That\u2019s it. It\u2019s nothing overly complicated.<\/p>\n<p>The second bedroom, I put this really cool racing simulator setup. There\u2019s no bed in the second bedroom. It\u2019s just the sim with all of my sports jerseys on the wall, so it\u2019s kind of a fun room, like, <em>my<\/em> room.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like a mini Aston Martin. It\u2019s called the Curv. It\u2019s probably 6 feet by 4 feet. It\u2019s got, like, an F-1 steering wheel with all the buttons and a wraparound screen. I love Aston Martin and I love the original color\u2014that\u2019s the color, original Aston Martin green.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an Aston Martin that you sit in. You don\u2019t wear a headset, so it\u2019s not VR like that. There\u2019s a screen. It\u2019s got a driver\u2019s seat like a Formula 1 car, and you\u2019ve got adjustable pedals, and then a big, wraparound screen with a Formula 1 steering wheel that gives you feedback. It\u2019ll rip your arms off if you crash, basically.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/562bd6ad2b68f2e32c716c4629cbe3d9w-c82782600srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"Jason describes riding his &quot;sim&quot; every morning as a &quot;total and complete escape&quot; from work.\" class=\"wp-image-1082430\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jason describes riding his &#8220;sim&#8221; every morning as a &#8220;total and complete escape&#8221; from work. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Aston Martin)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/aef7815e3b1a22a8a5a83966f365bbcdw-c2763213311srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"Jason plays against other simulator users online, and prefers to race the virtual Laguna Seca Raceway track.\" class=\"wp-image-1082435\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jason plays against other simulator users online, and prefers to race the virtual Laguna Seca Raceway track. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Aston Martin)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You race other people online, so it\u2019s like live racing online.

[My go-to car and track], it\u2019s a Spec Miata, Mazda Miata and I race Laguna Seca.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always enjoyed cars and racing, so this is basically what race car drivers do when they\u2019re not\u2014even Formula 1 drivers\u2014this is what they\u2019re doing when they\u2019re not in a car.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m on the simulator every day at least for, like, about a half an hour racing, 30-60 minutes racing. Sometimes I\u2019ll make my coffee in the morning and then I\u2019ll go in there and I\u2019ll just race online with some other people. I\u2019ll join a race and then just race people and drink my coffee.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a total and complete escape. I mean, when I\u2019m racing, that\u2019s all I\u2019m\u2014you know, I\u2019m fully focused. You can\u2019t answer the phone. You can\u2019t think about anything else. You have to be completely engaged, so it\u2019s great. It\u2019s like an escape.<\/p>\n<p>[To me, sanctuary means] safe, private, and then also, like, happy. You know, it makes you happy. I guess I would also say it often is devoid of aesthetic, or, aesthetic is not at a premium. It\u2019s just happiness is at a premium. Because usually, sanctuaries to me aren\u2019t the best looking room in the house. <\/p>\n<p>You know, it\u2019s a pool table, it\u2019s sports s\u2014t, it\u2019s a sim. It\u2019s not necessarily the best looking room in the house, but it\u2019s the happiest, funnest room in the house.<\/p>\n<p>I have my football helmets in there, and my sports paraphernalia in there, and then my sim, so it\u2019s just kind of like a fun place. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/6584ebb3b1afe4ba54e27b6e7c5de651w-c3620594563srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"Jason reveals his guy friends, including brother Brett and costar Romain Bonnet, love to take turns racing on his luxury simulator.\" class=\"wp-image-1080595\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jason reveals his guy friends, including brother Brett and costar Romain Bonnet, love to take turns racing on his luxury simulator. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Instagram\/Jason Oppenheim)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/ccc19838d6acb055acf5a54064b461e2w-c2505581091srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"Jason says girlfriend Jessica Vargas has tried the souped up immersive esports machine.\" class=\"wp-image-1080596\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jason says girlfriend Jessica Vargas has tried the souped up immersive esports machine.  <span class=\"image-credit\">(Instagram\/Jessica Vargas)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of <strong>Washington [Commanders]<\/strong> football jerseys on the wall and a couple of [Commanders] helmets.

The girls, they don\u2019t really get it, and that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a $75,000 simulator. I didn\u2019t pay that, but that\u2019s what it retails for. I had it in my last place and I feel like I got it, like, a year and half ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve just really enjoyed racing\u2014on track racing, you know, in a real car. But when I can\u2019t do that, I really enjoy my sim.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like [my next place to be] a three bedroom so I can have one bedroom for me, one bedroom for a guest, and then one bedroom for my sim.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the one thing. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to do [with this move]. I might have to store a bunch of stuff. I might not have room for any art or a bunch of other things, but I 100% need my sim.<\/p>\n<h2>Miami market relevance<\/h2>\n<p>If this topic impacts buyers or sellers, the most useful context is what is happening locally.
