Across the street from Lakewood's fabled Thornewood Castle, and nearly as impressive, you'll find its carriage house. "I spent a good 30 years working on this place," financial manager Jonn Mason said. In the 1970s, he bought the house in this gated community for about $200,000 when it was a duplex. He spent the better part of his life not just restoring the home, but filling it with unique treasures from all over the world. "Every time I would travel I would spend a lot of time shopping," he said. "And I was shipping it back here". The paneling in the library came from a 17th century building in France. The gaslights came from a library in New York and the ceiling was handcrafted over the space of five months. "Everything is handmade," Mason said. "The whole house is handmade". Mason says he's probably spent $15 million on the house, which includes a basement fitness room and walk in pantry. At $3.25 million, the asking price is a fraction of that. "If a person is a comparative shopper and they look at what they are going to get for the money, nothing compares to this," Mason said. "So it is a real bargain." #shorts
