Arvin Haddad takes on the grandiose task of dissecting the most opulent property in Hampton's, Leoon, priced at a staggering $150 million. With a keen eye for detail, he uncovers flaws in the property's design, notably the mismatched windows resulting from a 1990s remodel that attempted to blend shingle design with a Georgian colonial revival twist. The estate boasts a second massive home, offering a total of 21,000 sq ft, 19 bedrooms, and 16 baths, all under the watchful eye of the seasoned broker Sean Elliot.
As Arvin delves deeper into the property, he sheds light on the challenges posed by the elevation changes from the dune it sits on, leading to a discrepancy between the front and back facades. Inside, a clash of colonial and shingle design elements creates an eclectic mix, accentuated by asymmetrical windows and cramped, low-ceilinged spaces. The layout reveals redundant areas like dual dining rooms, a testament to the struggles of preserving an ancient property.
The primary bedroom, offering breathtaking ocean views but lacking a walk-in closet, hints at the property's luxurious yet flawed nature. Arvin uncovers the lower levels catering to staff needs, complete with a staff kitchen and laundry facilities, underscoring the property's high maintenance costs and tax burdens. The newer guest house, while stylishly reminiscent of the main residence, falls short in vibrant staging but impresses with a lavish theater and amenities like staff rooms, gym, massage room, and steam room.
