I’ll buy it and leave it just like this. I’ve always found drywall and finished floors to be a little pretentious, n’est-ce pas?

Who wouldn’t want to live in a palatial house nicknamed Versailles? After all, look at the happy ending enjoyed by the last French couple to live there! With 20 kitchens, they can make a whole lot of cake.
“monument to unparalleled success,” You know that’s right!!
All I can think is that it would just take one strategically placed piece of debris during a storm and that gorgeous glass dome would be shattered.
23 bathrooms. That’s good, because you don’t want to not be able to pee on your way to the bathroom. Luckily, there’s a kitchen nearby too, as you’ll need something to sustain you on your trek. A smart buyer will install trail-mix dispensers along the hallways.
I’d much rather this version to it finished. It would have been 100 million finished but its 75 million like this. So it means you can spend the extra 25 mil funding zombie research to make the best real life Resident Evil ever!
Well, a house like this, the new owners would probably have it redecorated anyway. So it’s just as well that it’s kind of a spec home.
10 kitchens is just stupid, though.
Oh, I don’t know. I never seem to have enough oven space during Thanksgiving. Just imagine how many hot dishes you could have ready at the same time?
They’d be hot all at the same time, but in very seperate locations, and by the time they reached a central point probably half cold anyhow. Unless you kitted out your servants with rollerskates. I’m assuming that if you lived in such a house with so many kitchens you would have servants. You’d probably have to call them “staff” these days, but really, if they do all your cleaning, cooking and whatever else they’re either servants or parents. I think the difference is servants get paid at least something (like you provide *their* food at least) unlike parents who seem to get a totally raw deal.
Oh, I think I’ve read about this..the millionaire didn’t have enough to finish it because he’s a pretentious douchebag with no sense of moderation. So he saddles some poor realtor to sell an overpriced monstrosity that you need to soak even more money in to make it livable.
Don’t feel too sorry for the realtor. Think of the sales commission on that.
I kind of love it. I don’t want it, because I’m fairly sure there’s some kind of curse involved and I object to being seduced by demon lovers in my sleep (just on general principal,) but dang…it’s cool in an over-the-top, bound-to-cause-mental-illness kind of way.
Maybe he can turn it into a timeshare…$150000 a week- $190000 finished.
“The mansion started by timeshare tycoon David Siegel boasts plenty of big numbers: … Twenty-three bathrooms… Ten kitchens.”
Does the price include a controlling interest in the company that makes Comet cleanser?
“Doing the dishes” takes on a whole new level impetus for procrastination.
A tycoon has to entertain all kinds of people all the time, right? So ten kitchens is barely enough: you need *a* kitchen you use every day of course, then you have to have the “trophy” kitchen with miles of custom cabinetry and those fancy Viking commercial appliances Consumer Reports says suck but impress other rich people. If you are particularly tall or especially short, you’ll want a kitchen that accommodates your stature. You need one of those outdoor patio kitchens for the Fourth of July, you need a kosher kitchen for your Jewish guests, and a Passover kitchen so you don’t have to chase down every crumb in your regular kosher kitchen during the Exodus, then you need a halal kitchen for your Muslim guests, a Sikh kitchen because the Sikhs are forbidden from eating any kosher *or* halal meats, another the kitchen in which to cook for those vegetarian friends who won’t eat off any surfaces that might have touched animal flesh of any kind, and finally, a vegan kitchen for those who refuse to participate in the enslavement of the bees.
You totally forgot the peanut-allergy kitchen. You coulda killed someone!
No, no, that’s covered with the Kosher for Passover kitchen, because according to Ashkenazkic tradition, peanuts are considered kinyot and are forbidden during the Eight Days.
Kitchen analysis WIN!
“Lucy! I’m home! Where are you?”
“I’m in the kitchen, honey!”
This seems like the perfect Highlander dream house, they were always fighting in construction sites anyway. All the power of a quickening without leaving the comforts of home!
Not enough mirrored walls to have a proper quickening. Although that domed stain glass would probably do in a pinch.
- All that money and he couldn’t find an architect who knew anything about esthetics. The windows are very nice but the outside looks like it was made out of shoe boxes.
- You could start a college in that thing. Heck, a university.
- I once worked in a 1930 mansion that had been turned into a research institute. The whole house and garage would have fitted into this thing’s living room.
- It’s still smaller than Blenheim Palace. Probably more bathrooms, though. And it’ll be a long wait before a Winston Churchill is born there.
This seems suchlike the perfect Scotchman imaging business, they were e’er struggle in interpretation sites anyway. All the force of a speeding without leaving the livelihood of residence!
With this house, I could finally have a 50 foot Christmas tree like I always wanted.
23 bathrooms! Was this designed by a pregnant woman?
…..or an old guy with prostate problems…..
I could see with the multiple kitchens it could be turned into an upscale condo complex. like this:

(I’m very familiar with that neighborhood, for three years I took my son there twice a week for speech therapy at the Scottish Rite Center for Childhood Language Disorders. The Masonic Lodge was sold to the developer because the value of the land would help provide more services in a less expensive neighborhood.)
Locally a local mega-mansion finally sold after six years:

Oh, I love those windows and tall ceilings. It has a lot of potential! Kind of reminds me of the Castle in “Beauty and the Beast” <3
I can only imagine… you’ve lived in this house 10 years, and you’re still finding new rooms. “Hey, I’ve never seen this wing before!”
Tony Montoya approved
The place just never looked the same after Shrek, Donkey, and Dragon broke up Fiona and Lord Farquad’s wedding…
