John Breyo’s Mega-Mansion is now visible with Bird’s Eye View!!

January 11, 2009





I did a post about John Breyo and his extremely large mega-mansion a while back. John was the president and CEO of the Ayco Company. This monstrosity measures in at a mind blowing 61,000 square feet. The fact that it is all under one roof is amazing. The first floor of the residence has 21,000 square feet, the second has 12,715 square feet, and the basement boasts 8,301 square feet not including storage space and mechanical rooms. The rest of the square footage is in the gargare space. This home made quite a stir in the small town of Saratoga Springs. I’ve been waiting for so long to see this home in Bird’s Eye View and now it finally is. The home is located at 51 Winding Brook Drive in Saratoga Springs, NY.
