Awesome Ohio mansion is back on the market with one insane sink, a lot of gorgeous wood, a bowling alley and some nightmare-fuel bear-chasing-man artwork.
The spaces in this home are just gorgeous. Copper tub seems a little extravagant what with soaring metal prices. I'm a sucker for fantastic wood floors and turrets; you could hold an old-fashioned ball for the ages here.
There are multiple kitchens, endless ballrooms. Less tacky gaudy junk than usual in this size mansion.
Price is about double what Zillow says it sold for earlier this year. Not clear to me if there was some crash insane upgrades or something? The prior listing price though was closer to $4M.
In fact, in 2017 and years earlier the owners had listed it for $9.5M.
They don't even show pics of the "huge 10-car heated garage with custom 10’ solid chestnut built overhead doors"

First up on #FridayNightZillow: A Kentucky prepper paradise built by a Republican liquor store magnate after OBAMA was elected, complete with a $3M ☢️NUCLEAR/BIOLOGICAL/CHEMICAL FALLOUT SHELTER.
Per the Lexington Herald-Leader, liquor store magnate C. Wesley Morgan said he just wanted to feel safe and also worried about civil war.
He later served one term as a GOP state rep, where, per the paper, he sponsored bills helpful to liquor stores.

Morgan ran against Mitch McConnell in last year's GOP primary, winning a little over 6% of the vote. The house was featured during a previous listing by Zillow Gone Wild, prompting the newspaper story, which is worth your 99 cents.
So, #FridayNightZillow will be starting soon. Included:
*Redwoods Cabin of the gods
*Affordable island paradise
*Semi-affordable island paradise
*Buddhist ranch
*Historic homes
*Crazy homes
*Cave home
*Ugly homes
*Affordable housing
Etc.
Hopefully an antidote to your doomscrolling. Funscrolling? Hopescrolling? Laughscrolling? Zillowscrolling.
If you haven't been a reader of #FridayNightZillow, this is last week's edition:
Yesterday, btw, a good example of just how many other rules — and especially the unanimous consent rule — matter in the Senate. The 60-vote rule has been gone for almost a decade now on noms, but a single senator can still hold up most for months for any reason.
Harry Reid's nuclear option kept in place the filibuster for noms, but reduced the cloture threshold to a simple majority. Common now for many, many noms now to require a cloture vote, then debate, then final passage, etc.
Both parties have since slow-walked noms as leverage on other things. McConnell even used a tactical nuke to lower the post-cloture time thresholds after a previous bipartisan deal expired.
Grassley wouldn't spill the beans when I asked him this week that it seemed like he must be running given that fundraising email I got from his wife. (He didn't seem to be aware of the fundraising email. He said he'd let me know by Nov. 1.)
The last thing I saw late last night as the Senate finished voting was Grassley literally running by me to the exit.
People sometimes forget Grassley had a decades long political career before his 40+ years in the Senate:
