Found a $25 million house in Brooklyn that looks like Versailles had a baby with an opera house

I need you to look at this place. It is a 14,000-square-foot mega-mansion in Bay Ridge, and it is easily one of the most over-the-top things I have ever seen. If you have a casual twenty-five million lying around and want to live like a minor European royal, this is your chance.

First impressions from the street

From the outside, it looks like a large stone villa with these distinctive teal window frames. The scale of the place is massive compared to the surrounding neighborhood.

Up close, the entry is guarded by two stone lions. That arched glass door is huge and gives you a hint of the drama waiting behind it.

The entry is a lot to take in

You open the door and find twin marble staircases curving up around a polished floor. The amount of gold leaf detailing on the walls is staggering.

Standing between the stairs, you can look straight through the central hallway toward the back of the house. The symmetry makes it feel like a film set.

If you look straight up, there is this massive stained-glass starburst on the ceiling. It throws colored light all over the marble below.

Rooms for entertaining

The formal dining room has a ceiling that will keep your guests staring up the whole time. The green fireplace adds a heavy contrast to all the gold.

There is also a separate sitting room with heavily carved gold furniture and matching drapes. It feels incredibly formal, like a reception room in a palace.

The main living area has a hand-painted sky mural on the ceiling. The fireplace features these bold checkered columns that really stand out.

Even the smaller breakfast nook has a sky ceiling. It has a slightly softer feel, but still has plenty of gold trim on the walls.

Wood and gold in the home office

The office goes in a darker direction with rich wood paneling on the walls. But do not worry, they still managed to cover the entire coffered ceiling in gold.

Yes, the kitchen is also gilded

You might expect a modern, clean kitchen, but instead you get heavily carved grey cabinets with gold moldings. The central island is long enough to prep a massive feast.

Even the built-in ovens are framed by decorative columns. It is definitely a choice, but you cannot deny the level of detail.

Right off the kitchen is another dining space. The high windows let in a ton of natural light, which reflects off the polished dark floors.

Head downstairs for the real fun

The lower level foyer features a giant bronze sculpture that stands right by the stairs. This level feels like a private club.

The home theater has plush red and black seats. The ceiling has its own carvings, keeping the royal theme going even when the lights are low.

A full-blown home spa

There is a mosaic-tiled Turkish bath down here. The curved ceiling and stone columns make it look like an ancient bathhouse.

Next to that is a dedicated spa room with a large hot tub. The yellow walls make the room glow.

You also get a traditional wood-paneled sauna. It is a nice escape from the intense marble and gold elsewhere in the house.

And there is a cold plunge shower setup. That rope overhead is for dumping a bucket of ice water on yourself.

The bedrooms do not tone it down

This bedroom features a tall purple headboard and gold wall panels. The dark floors have intricate borders inlaid right into them.

The attached bathroom goes wild with floral wallpaper and a gold vanity. The freestanding tub has gold legs and a handrail.

Another bedroom is dressed in soft pinks and creams. It has double doors that lead out to a small balcony.

Its bathroom is covered in pink marble with dark inlaid patterns. The vanity looks like an antique dresser.

This sage green bedroom features elaborate drapes and a tufted bench at the foot of the bed. The polished floor reflects the chandelier light.

The green bathroom has a glass-walled shower and a large white cabinet with gold trim.

Taking a breath outside

The back terrace is paved in light stone and has plenty of room for outdoor dining. Those tall glass doors lead back into the main house.

There is also a lounge area with comfortable seating and some chaise chairs for sunbathing. It is a surprisingly clean, open space.

If you want to look out over the street, there are balconies with heavy wrought iron railings. The pattern on the metalwork is incredibly detailed.
