I worked for the counter top contractor for this house. I worked on it for 2.5 years and to this day, it is my most favorite project I personally ever worked on. Ray and his wife were beautiful people and I feel blessed to have known them. This home, in my opinion screams who Ray was. It was a blast working with him through so many of the design features. The GC was second to none. Everyone there was on their A game. Not because they were getting paid, its because Ray and his wife treated everyone with respect. I have so many cool experiences working on this home.

This is my late uncles estate. Raymond Nicholson my Papa's brother. He joined the family business early in his life. My papa already had a wife and kids, so he wanted nothing to do with the family business. He thought that if he left his life and ventured with his siblings, he'd lose everything!! I'm proud to say that he kept himself and his family, humble! I didn't grow up with money. I've spent plenty of time at this mansion for family reunions. Until my papa died. Then we all went our seperate ways. When I saw this video, I knew that it was Uncle Ray's!! You Talk about weddings, I agree... I'd love to get married there!!❤

This house is truly magnificent, a masterpiece. Can’t believe it’s built in the 21 century in USA. Had I ever won the jackpot, I would buy it in a heartbeat and move back to Michigan. I would add an outdoor and an indoor pickleball court to answer Paul’s question.

[@onemortyme]

Watching this video and seeing someone's vision for design us truly remarkable but to see comments from some family members and contractors that worked on this project is something to be said. This is truly remarkable.

[@darkseraphim2180]

This house was built for a wealthy businessman in Rochester, MI (Raymond Nicholson). Unfortunately, he passed away in 2019. This is a family specific dream house. I really appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Though this house is not my style I admire many of the aesthetic and historical touches. Still, it was one couple's dream and forever home. The children might not want to keep it because of the maintenance costs. There is probably someone out there who will love this place, it's just that all the extra touches that Ray & Mary wanted make this house a unique vision. I pray that it finds a good owner 🙏🏼

The wood, the beautiful patina, is the heart and soul of a house and I have to say....after all the house touring I've done online, all over the world, this is the only place that reminded me of Biltmore Estate in my home state of North Carolina. The craftmanship, attention to detail, fine choice of wood and fabric, just breathtaking throught. Even the views reminded me of the vistas at Biltmore, all you need are the Blue Ridge Mountains. The price is an absolute steal.

@@BrianLopez07 Its still going to be a hard sell for several reasons... first its a very odd design and poorly planned and laid out... way over built with clashing interiors... way over sized but lacking in garage space and other important issues... the location is also limited but the real deal killer is the yearly cost of operation and maintenance and taxes which I estimate are a coo 3 million a year.

[@drats1279]

A steal which is what the buyers will get being this close to Detroit.

[@kirbygene]

Very well said. I couldn't help but think that all the water features were off-- even when you're trying to sell it-- because of the enormous cost. Throw in the 24-7 lawn maintenance required (which is overdue) and you have a home that only a billionaire could maintain. And I would be stuck with someone else's taste in furnishing. I guess it was cheaper to just leave it all there instead of removing it. So the new owner is tasked with getting rid of it.

[@Crabby0814]

I was here when there was an insurance claim about 8 or so years ago. I built the osb crates with wheels on the main floor. They hold the chandeliers from the main limestone hallway and foyer and the great rooms on either side. After that loss, it had another where the pipes froze and caused water damage in the main house and carriage house. I remember the plaster under the main stairs had holes and was about to collapse, looks fixed here. The room with the platform around the 40:00 minute mark held the massive boiler and tanks that were floor to cieling. The basement supposedly was used as a target shooting range at one point. Sad to see the modern look that was done towards the end. Absolutely gorgeous original woodwork. I'm a wood refinisher, and greatly appreciate the walnut and oak throughout. I may have old pictures of the place I took during the original packout somewhere.

Ok I have decided to subscribe. I want to also offer you a few tips. 1. Your a realtor, it's not a Costco Room, it is a butlers pantry. 2. The eating area by the kitchen is the breakfast room nit a dinning room. There is a formal livingroom, a family room & a front reception/parlor/receiving room. Trust that if your clients/viewers can afford homes like this, they will know the names of the appropriate room & will have a full staff. You are doing a great job of viewing/showing the rooms just brush up on the actual names and use of each room. Just some positive feedback for reflection 😊

I've watched this home tour 20 times so far and I see something different everytime. I'm just in love with this home and location. ❤❤❤ The couple who had this built got great taste.❤. Outdoor pool would be waste of money for Michigan weather seasons especially if you have a indoor pool you can use year around.

[@jimbetche7864]

Incredible home for the price, absolutely worth the money.

[@joemiller2057]

Yeah I could not even imagine the the maintenance to upkeep on that house the electric bill the water bill the heating bill air conditioning or the taxes on that place and then the landscaping alone has to be enormous

[@maryansel932]

True, but I would assume that the prospective buyers who could afford the home could afford its upkeep. Otherwise the purchase is a sham.

@@maryansel932 its not that the new owner couldn't afford all these things the question is would they think its money well spent and the answer is often no... 3 million a year and after 2 years you ask yourself is throwing away that kind of money worth it just to live in an oversized money pit and it becomes clear its not...

[@wilsanders2492]

We’re not yet certain whether this house is for us, but for anyone who is concerned about the upkeep costs, electric, water, etc, we live in a different age: the age of Alexa & the age of smart home technology. There are only 2 of us, and that’s likely to be the same for most of the year. Installing smart technology and not running the floor heating system, water, electricity for the overwhelming majority of the house and installing a dam across the water feature (which can be raised on command), would significantly reduce the utility bill with little trouble. Beautiful home, in my opinion, which is the only opinion I possess.

[@Final_Word01]

It’s my first time experiencing this type of home. I mean I’ve seen a lot of luxury home but this one interior and exterior feels different than most. I’ll watch more of your videos because it seems the mansions you introduce is, in my opinion, different yet unique.

[@dizzotizzo69]

It's like a guest house on the Biltmore Estate.

Biltmore Asheville is a carnival attraction

It needs a coffee bar somewhere in the master suite…lol. With a gorgeous view like that, having coffee and sitting in one of those comfy chairs before starting the day would be Heaven.

[@alexander15551]

I can’t stop thinking about what that locked door in the basement was for. Secret room, bunker, armory, treasure room, batcave…?

[@Bigboo218]

Diddle room

Imagine what modern conveniences there are in this mansion from 2005!!! Looks like what real money can buy!

[@miwindowguy]

I remember cleaning the windows on the house when it was still under construction some 18 years ago. We were getting the paint off the glass next to the basement pool waterfall (it’s petrified wood by the way) when the ground started to shake and there was an incredible roar like a jet engine. Turns out the owner (won’t say his name) was showing his friends the theatre and they were watching Top Gun. The other thing I remember was that he said that the doors for the home theatre were actually the doors from the home of the late actor Vincent Price. So wild seeing this place again after all these years.

[@PaulWolfert]

It's funny you mention that - when I met with the builder he said "can you imagine watching Top Gun in this theater? The seats rumble and you feel like you're there"

[@miwindowguy]

@@PaulWolfert it was legit. That’s literally what happened. And it was just a test because the place was still under construction so he was specifically trying to show it its highest volume. It was terrifying in the moment.

[@miwindowguy]

@@PaulWolfert I was trying to remember which builder did it, either Vito or Moceri. Truthfully this LOOK more like a Moceri. Moceri liked those real French windows, and VA was always a bit more modern. But I think VA had/has more connections with finer craftsman

[@PaulWolfert]

@@miwindowguy it was actually designed by Moceri (Dominick Tringali )

[@miwindowguy]

@@PaulWolfert I guess you can say I knew the area very very well

My Croswellian Palace is just under 850 square feet. I love my home.

*The financial market is pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.*

I feel Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and.exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or a licensed expert in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields

[@HoggCasco]

Interesting, This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro Investor?

[@MattTrudeau-zv8wx]

Mr Brian Humphery Services was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Brian.

[@UrryNorwell]

the first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional.

[@MattTrudeau-zv8wx]

YES!!! That's exactly his name (Brian Humphery Services)
