You too can sleep where George Soros' maid slept - for only $2-$4MM

Sick of having to call the poolboy every time the filter gets clogged? Getting freaked out by the caretaker's habit of talking to himself? Owning a second home certainly has its rewards, but it comes with a fair share of headaches, too. For those less interested in maintaining a house and grounds, and more interested in ultimate relaxation, here's the chance to own a condominium (that's right) in Southampton where everything is taken care of. The Villas, which were built as staff quarters in 1914, have been redeveloped by Ben and Linda Lambert and into six condos, going for $2.1 to $4.3 million each.

"It's for people who don't want the maintenance of the house. Here everything will be taken care of, especially when they're away for long stretches, vacationing in Europe or St. Barts," Mrs. Lambert said.

Each condo has its own private garden with Viking grill, but you'll have to share the pool with the other residents. The property itself is prime Southampton real estate, right on Old Town Pond and walking distance to the beach off Gin Lane. Finally, a place where your biggest worry will be when to flip while tanning.

Ahead, take a peek at the interior. Hopefully they will pressure wash the shower before closing.
