35 sleeping quarters The completed residence has nearly four acres of floor area, 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, and 65 fireplaces. It is one of the largest private homes in America.
It was built by George Washington Vanderbilt II, a wealthy American industrialist who served as the chairman of the board of directors for the New York Central Railroad. The mansion was designed in the French Renaissance style by architects Ashburnham and Weaver. It was built from 1887 to 1890 for $7 million (today's dollars). In 1916, after the death of its first owner, it was put up for auction but no one was interested in buying it. It was later dismantled piece by piece and shipped to Asheville, North Carolina, where it was rebuilt on its current site.
Vanderbilt called the Biltmore House his "dream home". It is said that he spent a year planning the project alone at night after dinner with a bottle of wine. He hired about 150 workers to build the house. The property upon which the house stands had been owned by the same family for several generations and was valued at $1 million (1890s dollars).
There are two master suites on the second floor: one is used by George Washington Vanderbilt I, the other by George Washington Vanderbilt II.
There are 340 rooms. This palace includes 340 rooms on four stories, 2.5 kilometers of corridors, and 190 acres of garden space. It was built from 1792 to 1814 by American architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe.
The house has been occupied by every U.S. president except Millard Fillmore and William Howard Taft. It is now operated as a museum by the National Park Service.
During World War II, it served as a hospital for injured soldiers sent home from battlefields across the country. Today, it continues to provide medical care for visitors. In addition, its scientific research division conducts studies on how people interact with objects in their environment. This work has application in designing more effective hospitals and nursing homes.
The house has been visited by all but two U.S. presidents: John Adams and George W. Bush. Adams never came to Washington because he died before taking office; Bush left after one term due to health concerns. The house has been open to the public since 1814 when Andrew Jackson became the first president to live there full time. He moved into the White House in 1829 and did not return to this apartment until his second term had begun.
The property contains six bedrooms, six full baths, and one half bath, as well as a courtyard with a fountain, an outdoor fireplace, a built-in BBQ, a swimming pool with a waterfall and spa, separate rose gardens off the master suites, a wine cellar, complete bar, a library, and a media room. The house was listed for $25 million but sold for $7 million.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the price tag on this house is high because it contains many luxury amenities that most California homes don't have. This particular property is also said to be on the largest residential plot of land in San Diego (40,000 square feet).
This isn't the first time that we've seen a Chargers player or owner go into debt buying their home. Former quarterback Mark Sanchez spent nearly $1 million on his Northern Virginia townhouse before being traded to the New York Jets.
Now let's look at the statistics: There are currently over 30 million people living in California so it's safe to say that there are plenty of people who could need these rooms. However, only Philip Rivers himself needs a bedroom for himself. The other players and staff probably use them as storage spaces since they aren't allowed in hotels during travel days.
There are 39 rooms. The main home in Glensheen features 39 rooms and 27,000 square feet of living area. There's also a 9-bedroom, 9-bathroom guest house on the property.
Glensheen was built in 1932 for John D. Rockefeller, III. It took 10 years to complete the house at a cost of $3 million. The house is made of limestone with brick accents and has more than 7,500 square feet of living space. It sits on a 33,000-square-foot garden surrounded by trees and water fountains.
The owner's goal was to create a home that would make his family happy to live in. They wanted a simple life outside of Boston where they could have some privacy. So they hired a designer who had worked on several of Rockefeller's other homes to design this one too. That designer was Henry Cobb Weaver who created an interior decorating theme called "American Modern" which can be seen in various ways throughout the house. For example, the kitchen has modern appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwave ovens combined with modern wood cabinets and a farmhouse table. There are also original paintings by American artists from the 1920s through the 1940s.
30 sleeping rooms The castle spans approximately 40,000 square feet and features 30 bedrooms and 47 complete baths. There is a Roman Chapel on the inside. Outside, there are gardens with seating for 300 people and even a helipad. It's been called Europe's largest medieval fortress.
The castle was built between 1170 and 1220 by Roger de Beaumont to protect his estate from invasion by King Henry III of England. The king made an agreement with de Beaumont that if he protected his border against Wales, the king would leave him in peace. When de Beaumont died without children, the throne of England passed to his cousin, who had no interest in keeping this treaty. So the king took action: he invaded France!
This is when the castle became important again: as a military stronghold. The new lord of Beaumont built up the army to defend his territory from other invaders. In 1327, the English government gave the job of defending the border to a knight named Sir John Lockhart. He turned the work over to his 10-year-old son, John. The boy grew up to be known as "Black Jack" because he led so many raids into Wales that it "became blackened with the skulls of his enemies."
With 65 rooms, 23 baths, 18 bedrooms, five of which are guest rooms, and 23 fireplaces, the Manor House is regarded as one of the greatest examples of Tudor Revival architecture in America. It is also considered to be one of the most important houses in Ohio.
The house was built in 1939 for the Kobs brothers, who made their money in real estate. One brother was a senator, and the other was a governor. The house was designed by Howard N. Swanson, who also designed the Case School of Home Economics in Cleveland. It is located in suburban Cleveland, about 20 miles from downtown Cincinnati.
The house has been called "a miniature London town" due to its collection of museums: one museum in the basement, one in each room, and one in the attic. In addition, there is a movie theater on site that shows films about history full of life drawings.
There is also a swimming pool, tennis court, and a nine-hole golf course on site. Parking is free at the house itself but costs $25 per night to park a car in one of the two garages.
Guests have access to all these facilities as well as the entire house. There is also a staff of approximately 20 people available during normal business hours to provide anything else you might need or want.
