This is insane. The 1885 Shakespeare Chateau Inn Bed & Breakfast in St. Joseph, MO is for sale. The 8bd, 10ba 9,850 sq ft business is turn key and comes fully furnished. It also comes with a carriage house that's a blank slate b/c the walls have been stripped to the studs, ready for rehab. Priced at $3m. You have to see this.

Can you believe this entrance hall? Is it too much? Too dark? Too creepy? Don't forget, all of the furnishings are included.

The carvings on this fireplace. Isn't this crazy?

Look at the carved creature on the stair railing.

I guess that the guests sign in here.

There doesn't seem to be a sitting room- all the reception rooms have tables, probably to accommodate the breakfasts.

This room may be an actual dining room.

This one has some seating and a desk. Love the wallpaper.

Going up the magnificent stairs to the bedrooms- incredible stained glass windows.

Look at that railing. It's massive.

Guests can sit in this area.

Or, they can sit in the alcoves of their rooms.

This room has the bath right next to the bed.

This one has a separate ensuite.

Very nice. This place is impeccable.

Wow, look at those dressers and the desk. All of these pieces come with the house.

These are the back service stairs.

This actually looks like it may be the owner's apt.

It has a bedroom and a kitchenette.

It would make sense, b/c these stairs right outside the door to their quarters, come straight down to the kitchen.

Of course, it's a commercial grade kitchen.

And, then here're the stairs to the very cool basement.

Isn't this fabulous. I wonder if this is for the guests or the owners.

And, look at this- they have a whole potting room to maintain all of the plants around the house.

The is the stripped down carriage house behind the main house.

So, it will be up to the buyer to do the rest of the rehab.

The gardens are so pretty in summer.

Here, you can see the main house and carriage house in the back on the 1.24 acre lot.

#1: A house with 3 floors including basement. There's a basement, a floor at ground level, and one floor above ground level.

#2: A house with 3 floors and NO basement. There's one floor at ground level, and two floors above ground level. There is nothing below ground level.

In your opinion, is a house with 3 floors (including a basement) a mansion? What about a house with 3 floors but no basement?

Both of these are mansions

The FIRST house (3 floors including basement) is a mansion; the second is not

The SECOND house (3 floors, no basement) is a mansion; the first is not

Neither of these are mansions

Whether it's a mansion or not depends on something else
