Got $394 million lying around? You should go look at Century 21's latest property listing—a lovely house in Washington, D.C., whose current residents are moving out in January.
The listing for 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. has all the details of the historic mansion. It's almost 55,000 square feet, with 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms and 52 acres of land.
But alas, even if you have half a billion dollars, it's not actually for sale. This is a MullenLowe stunt for Election Day. You'll notice a "Help Find the Next Tenant" button, which allows you to find your closest polling location.
It's a fun little gimmick that makes great use of the marketer's familiar web presence. And it continues a run of similar stunts—the most famous of which, perhaps, involved putting Walter White's Albuquerque home for sale on Craigslist on the night of the Breaking Bad finale in 2013.
