This house made me cry

[@giovelli4831]

Thats not a mansion thats a royal castle.

[@kariscolorjoyandhenrypower504]

A castle to you

[@ArcherOO78]

It's beautiful especially that dark wood and stone. Reminds me of grand country estates in the UK

[@luxurycarkey7207]

Great video sad that it will sit there for a very long time

[@thnktank1]

Everything I need to host family and friends with regularity.

[@kariscolorjoyandhenrypower504]

I love it it’s so beautiful I could love there too

[@fisherlove11320q]

OMG!! Those fireplaces must be MASSIVE, OR they are very small women!! Look at them standing next to the fireplaces!!!!!

[@nicchauvin1096]

IDK. I'd probably feel cramped in such a tiny space.

[@ladyphoenix9752]

Rather buy a super penthouse in Manhattan.

шикарный дом

[@MySensualWorld]

The wood and molding is too dark, thick and bulky everywhere, it’s almost depressing. You would almost never see this in Europe. The exterior looks more like a high school for rich students or a bording school, more than a mansion, even though it was built with expensive materials.

[@henrylivingstone2800]

You might see it in medieval German or Austrian manor houses or in Elizabethan or Jacobean English country houses.

[@Prof765]

Is a School😊

[@patsyobrien9604]

The railroads in the country were built primarily by the labor of the Chinese and Irish immigrants.

[@enmenergy]

Well I’m Irish and when I own this, it comes full circle.

[@battleford3574]

You somehow forgot all the black workers.

[@marklogan3813]

I bet the TAXES are nuts. Its N.Y.

[@craiigg]

It’s NJ but same difference

[@billporteners9581]

--- Folks... the sad part here is that everyone watching this video are mainly serfs who dream of getting the right SIX numbers one of these days..... ah yes.... those magical, ever elusive, mysterious numbers... oh God... I will give you 10% if you let me win... make it 15%... oh God... please... what will it take? (you KNOW I will never sell my soul for these luxuries... like, most likely, the owner of this fantastic property already has.................... )

[@jimmymchugh8305]

So we're talking style, stop looking at the two girls presenting, start looking at plagiarism gone badly wrong...... The whole thing was an obscenity.... Add the two girls

[@Danuta628]

There’s something about this - just so sad.so much wasted space - all that money could go towards such better means. Ridiculous stuff like this just seems so unnecessary

[@clevelandolivia8896]

One year later... I completely agree. Like the chef’s kitchen seems like a waste. It would have been nicer if they just completely restored the place to it’s original glory. There’s so very few historical masterpieces in America, modernizing it with so many unnecessary prices is a waste.

[@IgnacioAgramonte]

tooooo big for me.

[@jhibbert866]

Way too big

[@andrewbrendan1579]

Wonderful house....but....even if I could afford to live there I wouldn't. I think of the enormous cost of paying for and maintaining so much that is non-essential when there are people who need help with medical bills and insurance premiums and paying the rent and for whom transportation is a problem; I couldn't in good conscience live in this house. I'm not saying everyone should live with the bare minimum; nothing wrong with a nice house and having and enjoying nice things. This house , fine as it is, would be too much for me.

[@dloadthis1617]

Andrew Brendan .. I totally agree with you. You would have to have a staff of at least 50 people with Cooks, Maids, gardeners, people to take care of your automobiles, pool men, grocery shoppers, party organisers, hiring a Majordomo, etc. Can you imagine all of the drama that would be created within the staff? Did you ever watch Downton Abbey on PBS? It would be the same type of thing here. There will always be someone running around and you would never get any privacy if you just wanted to be alone. It is a great house though for $48M.

[@MySensualWorld]

@TheLusianPopa The mansion is not that attractive for a mansion, it looks more like a wealthy school or apartment building, and the interior is dreadfully depressing with all that to dark, thick, and bulky wood everywhere. And while the mansion has a slight resemblance to large manor house in Europe they were usually more refined and elegant more of a classical influence and a lovely European influence, rather than an Americanized architecture of an English manor house that in this case, seemed to been designed not from a man with class, elegance, and good taste, but from a robber barron or robber baron wannabe, who built this huge thing, to show off his wealth to himself and maybe his guests, the enormous wealth made off of untold thousands of workers, who probably lived in cramped apartments or shacks.

@@dloadthis1617 Atleast Highclere was gorgeous, built in beautiful taste and elegance. Highclere was also a working estate.

[@MySensualWorld]

@TheLusianPopa No not all gilden age elites decorated this way the Biltmore House is beautiful, this is not, looks like a cross between a psychiatric hospital and a boarding school.
