If you're in the market for an incredibly ornate (borderline over-the-top) home—we're looking at you Kimye—the $30 million Palazzo Grande is the winning ticket. Found at 5435 Sea Biscuit Road in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, the 16,000-square mansion has six bedrooms, 6.2 bathrooms, 40 chandeliers (30 of which feature Czechoslovakian crystal), and a 75-guest ballroom.
“As you enter Palazzo Grande, it’s as if you have been transported from Palm Beach to an old world Italian villa. The level of details, exquisite materials and custom design is refreshing and very unique for a modern home,” says the Coldwell Banker listing agent, William P.D. Pierce. “The beauty and craftsmanship of old world combined with modern amenities make this property one of a kind in today’s market.”
The lakefront residence was influenced by villas of the Italian Renaissance in the 16th century, with Corinthian columns that will remind one of the Louvre in Paris on the exterior. Inside, you will find hand-carved wood ceilings and doors, Herbeau plumbing fixtures, mahogany flooring, and limestone walls. The ballroom has a mirrored ceiling, while the spacious kitchen boasts "two pantries, two Sub-Zero refrigerators, two Bosch dishwashers, a 60-inch Wolf range, a custom hood and Venetian-style ceiling with an attached breakfast room." You better like cherubs too, because the dining room's ceiling has 80 of them that were hand-carved from wood, because no home is complete without cherubs.
Other features include an office, billiard room, library, loggia, den, lounge, laundry room, and a separate guest house with the same appliances as the main. Of course, what would a mansion be without a 1,120-square-foot pool? This one has blue Polaris marble, four stone lion fountains that were custom carved, and a spa with a pool deck (which is positioned right in front of the tennis court).
Let's be honest, we can easily picture this home in a Kanye video and are a little surprised he hasn't snatched it up yet. We all know he would love those lions.
