It's been a while since 'Estate of the Day' has featured a mansion of taste, proper proportions, yet restrained presentation. Just compare this to the junk being pitched endlessly above $10M.

The well known and exceptionally lovely estate has, as the NYTs article cites, been used in a lot of premium ads and other print shoots. In fact one could say that is its stock and trade with bookings likely defraying a great deal of the upkeep costs and insurance. I'm sure since it’s been featured in Chubb Insurance ads they provide coverage ;>

Although claims of a renovated interior? Well only if it was done this year. As you can see from the link below (for the mgmt co. that books photo shoots at the Chateau) the interior as of Sep 2006 is not renovated IMHO. It is however very much in keeping with what you'd expect for an old Gold Coast manor house.

At a price under $6M you couldn't buy more charm on the North Shore for less. Taxes are likely rather high (at least ~ $60k/year) but few homes could boast of a unique history, mixed with great architecture and wonderful landscaping like this.
