Well, this house lives it's own life. You're just a guest here, it doesn't matter if you own it or paid it a visit. It cannot be someones home, it lives for itself.

[@ns2443]

I was thinking this, too.

[@dorothysay8327]

Anton Raspaev it did. Until this modern gut renovators took it over and gutted the interior to remake ‘traditional’ with inferior materials at obscene expense. The interior is NOT original to the home.

[@troygreen9321]

Just outstanding, you don't see a house like this but every blue moon.

Absolutely by far the most beautiful, exquisite, and flawless home ever created in history. There are many jealous fools that gave this video a thumbs down.

To you it is. I find it hideous. It looks dazzling and expensive but not beautiful, to me.

[@doreenmitchell7596]

The craftsmanship is incredible! Beautiful!!

[@theNineCorners]

It's a beauty! I’m glad this home was KEPT historical on the interior. I do love how it’s seated in Chicago’s Affluent Gold Coast (despite the towering scraper next to it) It’s a historical time capsule. A lovely, iconic Richardsonian Romanesque mansion. Heated floors, an elevator, marble floors, carved fireplaces, art glass windows, custom stained-glass dome, etc.. I LOVE the dark wood! ..I’m tired of pasty, white plaster-board and faux-marble in many so-called prominent estates we see these days. Glad they kept that away from this gem. Dark wood is rich, old money. If a seller is giving me Chateau; that's what I want to see inside. If a seller is giving me Southern Gothic Charm on the exterior of a property, but as soon as I walk in, I no longer see a historical gem from 1845, but rather, a 2010 Manhattan New York Penthouse with a Kim Kardashian spread above the sink .. guess what? -> I’m not buying. Certainly glad we aren’t seeing that here. This is a beautiful classic piece that still stands the test of time in charm and value.

[@dorothysay8327]

theNineCorners it wasn’t kept historical-you’re very much mistaken. It was gutted. That’s all new, Faux-old looking ‘traditional’. ALL the original interior is gone. Trust me...I work in preservation and there’s not a scrap of interior left of the original house. It’s a damn travesty.

[@Van-yo2xr]

Dark wood and white looks like what a keyboard warrior thinks is sophisticated.

[@vincentshelpfulhints4085]

you would need a team of people just to keep the house clean

[@afr1952]

[@texacalimom6034]

I really appreciate the craftsmanship that went into building this house. It’s undoubtedly very beautiful and luxurious, but it’s dark and has an eeriness to it. It lacks a warmth to it despite all that woodwork.

I love the stargates those decorative round arches. I am redoing a small place and that Gives me an idea for the entry between the dining and livingroom. That would have to be made smaller. Ceiling is only 8'. I am good at sculpting and thinking about cement accents. That would be beautiful. I am making a large Anubis to go by it. The wooden fireplace was nice too.

God, what a piece of heaven this is. It is perfect in every way, but ditch the mass produced furniture (most, but not all of it), but incorporate Italian and French pieces of antiquity. The furniture of antiquity, rightly, has a place in a home as luxurious as this. Thank you for posting.

[@timward3116]

My Sunbelt city has nothing to match the elegance of some of Chicago's older homes. It's a shame. But elegance like this comes at a premium, so even the rich in my area have to settle for gaudy or, at the very least, tasteless.
