What every mother dreams for her kids, but…….

My older son bought a new house two blocks from his old one 1 1/2 years ago. It’s a Tudor with a turret and somewhat contemporary on the inside. It’s quite huge at 6680 square feet. Each bedroom room has its own ensuite, there’s at least 8 rooms on the first floor that I remember, my guest bedroom , a basement with a full kitchen, a ping pong table room, a pool table room, a family room, a separate hang out room, an office for my son, a laundry room with a spiral staircase into the the main kitchen, and a sauna. Outside are several heated patios and an inground pool with fabulous landscaping everywhere. I asked him why he would buy such a huge house with my grandson away at boarding school most of the year and my granddaughter going off to college next year. His reply was that it was the only one that was for sale in the area he and his wife liked. Such problems I wish I had! Since I don’t have many photos, I will share some of his home with you. The foyer, in my opinion, is the best!

That is a huge house. Ours is just over 2000 and that's too big for me.

@DianneN I disappear outside. I think he's afraid I will put him to work

Yes, it’s very huge. Mine is just around half their size and we love it. I would love a larger house to get away from hubs sometimes, but I know he’d find me somehow

It looks nice, but alof of house if no one is there most of the time. Maybe they can plan on doing a lot of entertaining or something, or invite the kids to come with friends when they visit.

So true. My grandson brings lots of his friends from school when they have vacations and it’s too far for them to travel home. My DIL has a big family, so she entertains a lot and hosts get-togethers for all the organizations she belongs to. And my granddaughter always has her 18 million friends over. My son is usually cooking dinner or working in his office.

@snowy22315 Thanks, and we’ve been there for visits and holidays. I still can’t find the bathroom without help. For real!

That is a big house. How many maids does he and his wife have?

Strange that they would make the move but they have the money for it. My mother keeps telling me to move from here but I'm like "my next move will be my last move". I'm not going to move from here to some other apartment complex.

You will know when you want to move or not. Listen to your heart.

That's just huge, a castle! But oh, it does sound like so much work to care for and clean. More power to them!

He should invite friends often. I would feel lonely in such a big house. It looks lovely.

That size of a house screams for hired help.
