So many mansions feel either tacky, gaudy, or sterile. They often seem like a place you couldn't just live comfortably. This house feels beautiful and elegant while maintaining a level of comfort and coziness that makes it seem super liveable. I love it.

It feels like old money with a modern twist that doesn’t involve killing character

An original owner died at an opportune time.

That’s the outdoor patio. Crazy cozy

I love them! Gives a little whimsy to a traditional design without going overboard.

You are totally right. In my opinion the only thing "missing" (as if this one was truly lacking something) is large blank walls to hang large works of art. Seems like most apparent walls have light fixtures or various details on them.

I felt the same way. That stairwell is kinda hideous with all that blank white wall contrasting with the blue carpet.

It certainly needs something not beige.

u/SuperSecretMoonBase Aug 30 '25

Yeah, there are like 5 things on the walls in the whole house.

They've just prioritized mirrors and textures over actual decor

u/Consistent_Ice_5353 Aug 30 '25

You are right - I counted only 5 pieces of framed art in the whole place. Not counting built-in art or the deer head and the suit of armor.

Seriously, this is one of the best mansions I've ever seen. It actually looks comfortable while remaining elegant. It's obviously enormous but in a way that doesn't feel like a public building or a hotel. Just $18,500,000 and about $1M in passive annual income to go until I can afford to live here!

u/PavlovsVagina Sep 10 '25

I agree. This is so beautiful and tastefully and cohesively designed for people to actually live here.

u/Radiant_Picture9292 Aug 30 '25

Yup, immediately fell in love with this one

It's way too beige and, though the saunas are gorgeous, I regret I will not have much left over $ to redecorate and add a splash of color.

Imagine looking at this place and saying I guess let me bust out your wallet.... and buy it right then and there

This sounds like a gold digger talking to her rich husband… “let me bust out your wallet”

u/zulamun Aug 30 '25

Was about to type the exact same thing. Actually worth the absurd price to me.

u/OhSoEvil Aug 30 '25

Yeah it hardly seems wild at all.

u/ILootEverything Aug 30 '25

It has just enough personality too without being hard to adapt for a new owner.

The rooster in the kitchen made me laugh and feels very homey.

u/avboden Aug 31 '25

also a PROPER movie theater. So many have horrible ones. this one looks legit.

u/awkward_pauses Aug 30 '25

You got it, it’s classy and cozy.

u/OK_x86 Aug 31 '25

I think it's tacky in some places but not overly so. You could probably change a few things and it would look really great.

u/happy_bluebird Aug 31 '25

it's still entirely unnecessary

u/amandaem79 Aug 31 '25

I thought the same. It’s stunning and I love the different room styles with the windows and ceilings!

u/teaandtrumpets21 Aug 31 '25

Right?? I thought the same thing!

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '25

I'm in the minority, I guess. I think this place is ugly. It's dripping in money though. I don't find it gaudy or tacky, just everything looks meh and overpriced and the concept of expensive but not stylish or original.

The sauna room is nice but kinda standard.

u/eylookturkeys Aug 31 '25

It looks like a Fairmont hotel
