Some of the house really gives off "big event" vibes. Like it's totally not intended for families to live, but instead to constantly rent it out to strangers. I mean I like how spacious this is, but it feels more like they turned large halls into a luxury places to sit and talk during big events. That's it. I can't even call it a home. It doesn't feel cozy at all. And why are there so many couches everywhere... This gives major "rich guy with zero taste who didn't know what to do with all that space"-vibes.

Projects done on this large of a scale are rarely done tastefully and this home has failed to break that pattern

[@charlesgale4257]

I think what ends up happening is they hire someone and the guy they hire is trying to make a profit if they put as many craftsman hours as they did in old houses it would cost twice or three times as much and the builder wouldn't make as much as a profit. Like look at the stair railing its so boring some old houses stair railing looks like a work of art that was made in france this one was made in texas and looks very basic.

[@samshare2146]

More accurately...projects done on this large of a scale THESE DAYS are rarely done tastefully. I have seen gilded age mansions...estates...and those were done to a completely different (higher) level. Even smaller estates, especially those that were built in the past, are much more "homely" than this behemoth. I had thought that The Manor would be more like that, but I am disappointed that it is so "plain" in comparison to many luxury estates I have been in. Yes, it has space, and the land (location) is expensive, but I would have liked to see a lot more detail/craftsmanship...intricate wall panels, rich woods, gilded/coffered/tray/carved/barrel/groin ceilings, hand painted frescos...Anything that shows exquisite craftsmanship that leads to a sense of warmth and opulence.

[@EtreTocsin]

It was the tacky 80’s chandeliers and hearts (wtf?) They cast a disagreeable hue on the entire property. Watch it again and pretend those are not there…You will be surprised at how relatively welcoming the rest of the space is. Especially the attic….

[@bennyboiart7781]

While I don’t think I would refer to this house as ever being visually on par with genuine châteaux built in centuries past, I still find it interesting to compare how it looked originally to how it looks now as it quickly becomes apparent that the designers in charge of each version had very different visions in mind: whereas the original attempted to artificially evoke feelings of old world grandeur, wealth, and respectability, the current iteration seeks to shed the idea of belonging to a long line supported by intergenerational wealth and instead seeks to appeal to the tastes of new-moneyed celebrities and influencers.

[@13Psycho13]

It's just a play with words, a certain frame through which you can make something sound more appealing by making an (unrelated) association: the Taj Mahal is a world wonder and this is even bigger, therefore this is just as good if not better. And that's disregarding the absurdity that the Taj Mahal or the White House are famous for their size, which they're not. It's just an empty claim, in this case to market this property.

Mansions shouldn’t look like they were designed with resale as a top priority. None of the details and amenities are any more unique than what you’d find in a suburban Minnesota $2million home. The house just has more of them, in larger sizes, in oversized roomed. The style and color palette are as generic as it gets. The only room that has any character is the barbershop , but even that is a bland facade plastered over an oversized, mostly empty room. And they hid it away in the attic.

I drive by this house frequently. It's not far from where the Playboy Mansion used to be. The Manor is next door to a public park, and is absolutely huge. It's crazy to think that this is going for more than what "The One" sold for, despite "The One" having amazing views, and even more amenities and features.

[@brawnbenson552]

“The One” doesn’t have 4.7 acres

[@neddiego2570]

One is garbage. Even the builder went crazy & bankrupt.

This could be used for a gifted orphanage program . Or even turned into a X-men house 😂

It would be a perfect rescue mission for rehabilitating LA's homeless population and in turn rehabilitate Candy Spelling's reputation of being a classless broad.

1 word... Magnificent ☀️

[@tonkeasley6210]

What a magnificent manor it is! I actually quite liked the library cz I am so keen on reading books. And this gigantic manor overall seems so amazing! These kinds of videos are kinda relaxing, aren't they?

[@vercopolis]

Yes. "A small intimate space"

[@Angie-lp2hk]

i'd understand if it's for hosting parties but I honestly cannot imagine living in such a large space. I mean this both as a compliment and an inconvinience-- I think i'd lose my mind in a space this large. I know the way to go is usually to have a ground keeper/ several maids but if you're someone who prefer to take care of their own stuff, this would nightmarish

Can you imagine how long it would take to vacuum and mop . Then the utilities…I’m getting anxiety 😟

For me, I feel afraid of such houses, and also guilty or ashamed if I sit in them, although I have never entered such palaces in my life, just watching them in pictures or videos, but this is how I feel about this luxury, elegance, and exorbitant prices.

This house is beyond beautiful both in its current state and its former look. I've been obsessed with this house for years, we finally get to see new parts of the house and rooms never shown before.

[@jimmyjacks64]

Though it's a shame what they have done in the library to the (I believe) oak panels ...

[@martijnprinzen7124]

This is not a house though, it's a hotel. 14 bathrooms? Are you kidding me? There's an off chance that they've all been use at once, but mostly it's just gluttony. You're insane when you buy this.

[@jaxlozarita9280]

The best part about this estate is the backyard with the pond and land that it gets you in LA and they didn’t even really show that. Plus this house has a modern design interior that feels dated. Would’ve preferred it to be really traditional or to be up to date in term of the interior furniture and finishes.

While having been built with the best and most expensive materials, I am perplexed as to why nobody stays in it for generations as Candie/Candy Spelling intended. It is cold and impersonal; nothing feels cozy or homey inside. Several rooms come close like the suite of rooms the Spellings lived in that was separate from the rest of estate.

[@expatmoscow]

It’s because the previous owner said it’s haunted.. they moved out

[@laprimaverrra]

"A family home"...with 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms? I guess you could go on for a week without seeing a (specific) family member.

[@RWMoortgat]

This building is to a French chateau what a drag performer is to Marie Antoinette at a French themed party. It's louder, gaudier, bigger, and entirely more absurd than its "inspiration" ever was. It's also so discordant. Take the solarium, which is amongst the nicer parts. Walls and windows are nice. Then you look at that modern ceiling with can lights and the whole thing collapses. The building doesn't quite know what it wants to be, other than entirely too much.
