Iiiiiiiin WEST PHILADELPHIA born and raised…. oh … wait… wrong one. An amazing 12-bedroom, 18-bathroom party house… er… mansion… or ESTATE that’s it is looking really fresh… almost princely… and yet this story has absolutely nothing to do with Will Smith. The price tag on the palatial rave spot at a paltry $139 million, and took over five years to construct. No “La Fin” towers high about Bel-Air and based on the realtors listing is “designed for entertaining at a scale comparable to the best hotels in the world.”
The gargantuan property sprawling over two acres… (evidently near LA that’s large… city folk, amirite?) the mansion is complete with a detached penthouse suite, a caretaker residence a security command center, and even a drive-in motor court.
One Shot Productions writes, “The home has been constructed with the most exquisite taste, showcasing rare and decadent materials sourced from Europe, Italy and around the world. The property boasts sensational views and stunning light quality throughout. The scale and volume of the spaces are nothing short of awe-inspiring. Immediately upon crossing the threshold you enter a grand, entertaining room with 23-foot ceilings and filled with fully customized furniture hand-crafted in Milan and found throughout this decadent property.”
A Mansion That Borders On The Ridiculous
According to The New York Post it’s even crazier than you’d expect for that cool $139 mil. The absolutely ridiculous perks include:
- a 23-foot outdoor LED screen
- multiple bars
- a sub-zero vodka tasting room
- private wine room
- a custom Murano glass art installation
- a home theater with imported Belgian leather motorized seating
- a six-car, display-ready rotating auto elevator
- a separately ventilated cigar room with a humidor
- a full-scale fitness center with a rock-climbing wall
- a 6,000-square-foot nightclub
- and naturally a full catering facility
They call it “an “architectural masterpiece,” that was “constructed out of “rare and decadent materials sourced from Europe, Italy, and around the world,”
“The expansive primary suite features floor-to-ceiling Italian hand-crafted oak cladding, a marble fireplace imported from Portugal and a wraparound deck with uninterrupted views from downtown to Century City. The primary bath has 24 slabs of book-matched Calacatta gold marble, a 100-square-foot shower, a floating marble vanity and showroom-style walk-in closets — all centered around a soaking tub cut from a single marble stone.”
Evidently Joseph Englanoff a doctor and later real-estate investor picked up the bare land in 2014 for $5 million and performed one serious flip. And the party goers of Bel Air get to enjoy his work.
