Hey I live in a large home. Some people call it a Mansion. Do you know anyone who has one?
My parents live in what some people may call a mansion.  It has about 6,000 SF and is on 5 acres.
Wow cool! The word comes from the old latin work "mansio".
Interesting!  I didn't know that.  What does "masio" translate to?
It loosely means "to dwell". The word "manse" defines a property as well.
Oh!  Traditionally, how large does a dwelling need to be to be considered a mansion?
I am not sure to be honest! But once they get to a considerable size they are actually called palaces!
Figures.  Must be nice to live in a palace.  I guess the White House would be considered a Palace, right?  Or is it a Palace?
I'm not sure about that either! I think it would be a mansion still. The oldest mansions around were often originally castles in the middle ages!
That would be amazing to live in one of those types of mansions with all its history!  How much does a mansion usually cost
