What defines a mansion?
I was pondering this last night. When does a house stop being a house and is instead a mansion? Is it raw size? Is it lot size? Is it the presence of particular rooms? Is it architectural distinction?
Unrelated poll coming, but I'm interested in how you would define a mansion. |

My first thought was if it has rooms you don't need/use, it's a mansion. But then I realized that my house would fall into that category, and it sure as hell isn't one.

over 5,000sf is how a real estate professional defines it (although sme say 8,000sf, probably because of the increasing size of homes)

I'm not exactly sure what a grotto is, but I think it has to have one of them.
