I just went to the open house of this beautiful mansion and it was breathtaking. This home was the Designer Showhouse of NJ last year. Upon entering, you are greeted by a sweeping staircase and a magnificent chandelier. The walls are painted in a pastel yellow and there is crown molding throughout. The foyer also features a small alcove. To the left of the foyer is a 17′ by 19′ living room and to the right of the foyer is a large dining room and beyond that is a conservatory. As you walk past the foyer, there is an expansive 27′ by 20′ great room with a grand marble fireplace. The long main hallway leads to a fantastic club room with a fireplace and a built in plasma TV. The hall also leads to a cherry oak wood library with bathroom and walk in closet. Past the great room is a large breafast room that enters into the gorgeous Clive Christian kitchen with built in espresso machine and granite counter tops. The massive kitchen island has a wooden counter top.  The kitchen leads into a cozy mud room and  a guest bedroom with  walk-in closet and bathroom. The second floor has a great layout and contains 3 hallways. Every time I looked around the corner of one hall, there was yet another long and wide hallway leading to even more rooms. As you walk up the main staircase, the master retreat greets you on your left. You walk through the master foyer into the sitting room. Then, you turn right and into the gigantic 27′ by 20′ master bedroom. Adjacent from the sitting room are the two walk in closets and spacious master bathroom. The two master closets are side by side and contain built-in storage and ample space for your shoe collection. The master bath is out of this world and includes two toilet rooms, free standing tub, two vanities, and one of the largest walk-in showers I have ever seen. Also located on the second floor is a billiards room and 4 more spacious bedrooms. The walk out lower level is an entertainer’s paradise. It contains hardwood floors and coffererd ceilings with fiber optic lights built in. The home theater is very large and contains leather recliners and suede walls. There is is a large recreation space complete with a custom wood bar and a walk-in wine cellar. There are also two more rooms that could be used for a bedroom, exercise room, or  a play room. The home sits on 2 acres of land and includes a four car garage. This home is simply amazing and I suggest you go take a look the next time it has an open house.

Planned Greenwich Mega Mansion Update!

Valery Kogan, a russain airline tycoon who is chairman of the East Line Group, and his wife Olga Kogan proposed a 27,000 square foot, 26 toilet mega mansion. Their plan was to tear down the 19,520 square foot, $18.5 million mansion they bought a few years ago. The home would have been the largest in a town known for its grand estates. The home was also going to have a turkish bath, dog grooming room, among other things. The plans were denied by the zoning and commissions group of Greenwich. Now, the billionaire Russian and his wife have drawn up new plans in hope getting the approval of the town of Greenwich. They scaled down the size of their mansion to a still monstrous 21,127 square feet and with only 15 toilets!
