FOR THE elite few shopping for homes in the eye-watering $8 million range, here are two glorious palaces. Their square footage is so vast that you may wonder if intercom systems should make a comeback.
The Fishers Mansion
If modern vintage style is what you’re after, then this beauty in the Hamilton Proper neighborhood will make your heart leap. Timeless features like wide plank hardwoods, arched doorways, decorative paneling, and extensive trim blend seamlessly with more modern touches like punchy wallpaper and contemporary lighting. The master suite is in a league of its own. A two-sided fireplace separates a cozy sitting room from the rest of the bedroom, which also features an enormous his and hers wardrobe (complete with coffee bar, of course) and marble bathroom. If you like to be outside on nice evenings, you can whip up something in the outdoor kitchen and then enjoy an alfresco dinner on the lanai.
