Interesting 1988 home in Hudson, OH. Look at the swirling chimneys and the tower. They don't show much of the 5bd, 5ba, 6,805 sq ft home, but they show enough to get the idea. Looks like they're doing work inside, but it's hard to tell. Judging by the exterior, this could be a stunning home, though, and the asking price of $1.595 is probably a bargain.

This is odd- they cemented over the niche above the hearth and removed the mantel, plus they also blocked off the firewood storage. And, they didn't do a neat job, either.

They took the photos at weird angles, like they're trying to hide something. This must be the center hall. It has some narrow balconies, lovely millwork, but what's up with the odd railings in the first photo- looks like sticks w/rope.

The wood stain in the kitchen matches the other wood in the house, but it's a dated style. Very 70s, especially the ceiling and the design on the cabinet doors.

Beautiful family room on the upper floor. It has great Gothic windows and beams in the pitched ceiling. Plus, there's a stone fireplace.

I wonder why they put turned spindles in the beams, though. Decorative purposes?

Beautiful marble fireplace and window seats in the primary bedroom.

Check out this marble bath. It looks like they removed a mirror and light fixture above the sinks, though. Look at the small storage cabinet above the shower- what would you keep up there?

I'm assuming that they left the 3 giant geodes for the new owner?

Then, this is a smaller room, similar to the family room.

This home is stunning.

Look at how beautiful it is surrounded by the green trees in the summer. And, you can even go out on the terrace around the turret.

Plus, it comes with 20.40 acres of land.

Waddesdon Manor

[hometoursandotherstuff]

Can't resist a castle house, especially one with stone walls. This one, built in 1905, in Gladwyne, PA, has 6bds, 8ba, and is listed for $7.95M.

Interesting entrance. It's open, but it's got a regular ceiling with beams, just like inside. The snow must blow in here, in the winter.

This is one of several entrances.

Very nice architectural details. This doorway opens to the sitting room.

Beautiful wood, fireplace, and nice wide stairs to the mezzanine. Kind of odd, that there's only one door up there, though.

The dining room has stone walls and a gorgeous window.

Stunning kitchen has an open-concept family room with 2 stairways going up to the upper levels. Beautiful wood details, backsplashes and counters.

The family room has a beautiful fireplace.

Here's an everyday dining nook with a large china cabinet.

Beautiful wine room- I prefer a main floor wine room so I can access it easier that going down to the cellar, if you know what I mean.

Any host would be proud to have guests use this gorgeous powder room.

Oh, what a delightful room. Love the shelving, wainscoting and window seat. This is beautiful.

Luckily, you're wealthy enough to have someone to clean that beautiful latticework in the en-suite.

Another stunning bath.

The primary bedroom has a sitting area and a grand canopy at the head of the bed.

And, it has the larges en-suite with a marble shower.

The former stables are now a guest house.

It has a nice apt., which I would make a long-term rental.

The 2.83 acre property has patios, but no pool area. Of course, there's plenty of space to put one in.
