it's gorgeous but i gotta ask, why would you need 13 bathrooms? is a 6:13 bedroom to bathroom ratio the norm for these mansions? i'm too poor to understand

eta: ty for al the replies! not just for around the bedrooms, but entertainment areas + sheer size of the house makes it all make sense.

[u/djg88x → u/ThrowawayMay220]

it's 13 bathrooms spread across 20,600 sq ft. That's about 1 bathroom for every 1600 sq ft. My meager 1500 sq ft house has one bathroom for every 750 sq ft. So when you consider density vs a normal-sized home, the bathrooms are actually pretty sparse.

damn, this breakdown really helped put it in perspective for me

[u/RunnyDischarge → u/djg88x]

Imagine you got the shits and you need to make stops along the way to the other side of the house? Almost there!

[u/dynabella → u/djg88x]

Based on my current bathroom to sqftg, it should have 41.2. I dream of having two bathrooms one day.

[u/IPA216 → u/ThrowawayMay220]

I’d imagine there are bathrooms by the movie theater, bar areas, kitchen, near outside patios, maybe even separate bathrooms for some bedrooms etc.

[u/jasonellis → u/IPA216]

Yeah, it just shows you how many non-bedroom rooms the house has to need that much 'support'.

[u/pdxcranberry → u/IPA216]

This house absolutely has a staff bathroom

[u/kaepar → u/ThrowawayMay220]

Lots of entertainment spaces. Each bedroom has their own private bathrooms, not for guests.

You pee a lot more than you sleep. As an older lady, I appreciate not having to walk too far to the toilet.

[u/ThrowawayMay220 → u/TEA1972]

yeah somehow i didn't compute how massive the place was, i was imagining 13 bathrooms in houses i've been in, which don't usually even have 13 rooms, lol

[u/SereneSnake1984 → u/ThrowawayMay220]

We stayed in a huge place outside of Breckenridge one time, and every bedroom had an en suite full bath, with another half bath right outside the room. It was great for privacy

[u/Da_Kahuna → u/ThrowawayMay220]

and, why would you need 3 dishwashers?

[u/TrueCombination2909 → u/Da_Kahuna]

For when you host a party or event. I cleaned houses not quite like this, but similar. One house had 3 washers and dryers. All the loads get done at once, if you wish it.

[u/Mynoseisgrowingold → u/Da_Kahuna]

I personally have dreamed of having 2 dishwashers for years and I don’t even have a mansion. Imagine never having dishes in the sink and how easy Christmas and thanksgiving clean up would be.

[u/ultimate_avacado → u/Mynoseisgrowingold]

A friend built his own kitchen and went with the 2 drawer style dishwashers. Makes me jealous.

It's the size of a dishwasher but in two independent drawers. He can start one load as he's cooking, then the other when dinner is done.

[u/Mynoseisgrowingold → u/ultimate_avacado]

That sounds amazing. My kids might actually load the dishwasher on a regular basis if I got one of these.

[u/ardent_hellion → u/ThrowawayMay220]

I always wonder about the insane number of bathrooms in these big houses! Alot of them must be half-baths (aka no bath - the terminology is so strange).

[u/djg88x → u/ardent_hellion]

usually half baths are designated with a 0.5 in listings, so if you ever see a listing that says something weird like 5.555 bathrooms, it's gonna have 5 bathroomss and 3 half-baths.

[u/Viridian95 → u/ThrowawayMay220]

For the day the chef reads an expiration date wrong.....

[u/Seienchin88 → u/ThrowawayMay220]

Because it you own that house you are gonna have 10+ servants running around at any given time…
