link to original story in Daily Mail
America's most expensive property has finally opened its doors with possible buyers being given their first glimpse into the 12 bedroom house and 50 acre grounds selling for a whopping $190million.
Realtors were coy about the interiors of Copper Beech Farm when they put the mansion on the market back in May. Now, two months later, realtors David Ogilvy & Associates have finally released images inside allowing potential millionaire record-breakers or simply those of us looking for a little house envy to take a peek.
The 12-bedroom Greenwich, Connecticut, house is currently owned by timber industrialist John Rudey. The estate once belonged to Harriet Lauder Greenway, whose father went into business with steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.
The three story property was built in 1896 and still has speaking tubes from pre-electricity days and sleeping porches used to cool off before the invention of air conditioning as well as an elaborate solarium.
As the Christie listing describes: 'The grand paneled entrance room and stairway rises three storeys with a fireplace and goes front to back to the wonderful screened or glassed porch with open panoramas of Long Island Sound. The main rooms have 12 foot ceilings, including the living room with a beautiful carved fireplace and French doors to the huge solarium with a coffered ceiling with plaster detailing and three exposures, the paneled library with a fireplace, a huge bow window with curved glass and bookcases, and the dining room with a fireplace, a tracery ceiling and paneling in rich oak with columns.'
