Is that a bidet in the bathroom? If so, that's the largest I've ever seen. Or is it a foot bath or some kind?

It isn't a bidet, but a 3/4 (or 1/2) tub. Women used these for quick clean-ups.

It's scary that $2.59 million looks downright affordable when compared to the usual estate of the day.

In no way is this kitchen tasteless. It was impeccably updated to retain the era in which this beauty was built. This mansion is a wonderful reminder of an day gone by in which people enjoyed craftsmanship and were eager to invest in it.
