It's not bad. I would have expected the bedrooms to be larger but since it's unfinished the new owners can probably improve upon the interior features.

I really don't seem them getting $29m for it. Realistically they might end up getting between $3-$5 million for it eventually.

I could go for living here for under 2 million and a fantastic view of Lake Erie:

Faux old world. That says it all.

I think it's awful.

Looking back through the pictures, some things are actually funny.

One bedroom has a small patch of unpainted area. I looks like someone stopped mid- stroke and had to run off to Church but never came back. There are several rooms with one sheet of unfinished drywall surrounded by finished and painted walls. Other rooms have completely finished walls surrounded by stud walls with no insulation (and it appears no wiring yet). In fact, I see finished walls with no outlets or light switches. Did they forget to do the wiring? Plan to use candles?

Most of the open studs have no insulation. What is insulated appears to have fiberglass bat. Why would they use cheapo insulation in a house of this magnitude?

Mattresses still in the bag leaning against the wall. (If you open them, they cannot be re-sold).

Put in a leather couch and a nice rug, but don't bother to sweep the thick dust and footprints off the wood floor.

Install a marble floor without first finishing the fireplace, walls and ceiling? That makes little sense. Finish from the ceiling down, that way you do not ruin the lower items when you drip or drag ladders around.

There is not rhyme or reason to finished, not finished, and partially finished. It looks like the homeowner has been wandering around randomly finishing whatever item they feel like working on. stopping and skipping to some other item elsewhere.

Is that a built in TV 12 feet off the floor? How do you watch it?

If the furniture is for staging, why is some of it only partially assembled? Is partly assembled furniture a new staging trick? It looks like they might be living in the unfinished house.

I am concerned when they turn on the 19 or so furnaces that will be needed to heat this and the pool, the rest of us will not have any gas left in our lines. For AC, they are gong to need their own power plant.

Oddly, the reproduction furniture they are using is not consistently from the same period/style. Did it come from a garage sale? Why would you use furniture that does not match?

Looked back at the porch sticks someone mentioned - this is pretty funny. It cannot be the final design, probably just something temporary.

Why is there artwork and furniture where the swimming pool goes? Why are artwork and furniture surrounded by stockpiled construction materials?
