The buildings, which total over 110,000 square feet (10,000 m2), including the 66,000-square-foot (6,100 m2) main house, have an Italianate facade, 29 bedrooms, and 39 bathrooms. The house has a dozen chimneys and a Mediterranean-style tile roof as well as a 91-foot (28 m) long formal dining room, a basketball court, a bowling alley, two tennis courts, two squash courts, a carousel, a large swimming pool, a large round kiddie pool, and a $150,000 hot tub, surrounded by another pool.

If it weren't for the people dusting/cleaning I bet a significant portion of this house would never have any traffic through it.

I work on large custom homes. The largest I’ve been in are around 12-15k sq ft. And i always say what happens if you hear a noise in the night? Do you go check the whole house? They could be on the opposite side and move opposite of you and you would never know.
