Going to be an epic #FridayNightZillow thread this week. A peek:
Like, I have some questions. That's ... the, er, *MOVIES* room????
Mirrored doors = keeping it classy, understated.
I was very, very surprised to learn of the famous person who built this mansion.

First up on #FridayNightZillow — a *stunning* Versailles-ish New York mansion built by William J. Levitt — the “Father of Suburbia” who struck it rich pioneering cookie-cutter homes, lived an insane life, then lost most of his wealth, this home & his yacht
zillow.com/homedetails/38… ImageImageImage
Levitt's life is a classic American saga that I’m frankly surprised hasn’t been turned into a major motion picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Scarlett Johansson. #FridayNightZillow 2/
Levitt built Levittowns all over, and he and his family pioneered treated house-building sort of like how Ford treated car building, with an uber-emphasis on efficiency. Made cover of Time as a developer of cheap houses in 1950! content.time.com/time/covers/0,… #FridayNightZillow 3/

***Senate Democrats are considering an expanded menu of taxes on corporations and the wealthy to help pay for Biden's $3.5 trillion economic agenda***

W/@KaustuvBasu1
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Expanded menu of potential tax targets considered by Dems include:
*Stock buybacks
*Supersized CEO pay
*Billionaire unrealized cap gains
*Supersized IRAs
*Carried interest for fund managers
*Trusts used to elude estate/gift taxes
*Carbon (w/rebates)
*Virgin plastic
It's not clear how many of these if any will pass muster with Joe Manchin & Co, who now wants to hit the pause button on Biden's agenda, but the menu gives Democrats more options as they negotiate among themselves.

A rare #SundayNightZillow showdown:

Which mega-estate would you choose?

West Virginia on left v. Montana on right

Each sleeps >100!

Follow this thread and at the end you vote in a poll on which one you'd choose. 1/
FIRST up on the #SundayNightZillow showdown:

*494-acre* Wellsburg, West Virginia mega-estate!

🏰61BRs, 64BAs, 54K sf!

"Originally commissioned as a summer estate by Cpt. JJ Vandergrift with Gilded Age-era craftsmanship!"

<1 hr to Pittsburgh

Just $3.8M
zillow.com/homedetails/15…
So, it's a lot on the dark side on the interiors for my taste and needs some updating, but:
*Already has chapel for weddings, chapel-things
*27BRs are from a previously built "care home"
*A truly colossal number of acres. You could build a theme park here if you wanted.

This appears to be a group shower in the middle of a living room in Texas.
Don’t ask me why.
Because nothing in this house makes sense to me.
