Here are some more pictures of the 26,000+ square foot Lake Carrington Estate in Greenwich, CT which recently went on the market. As you can see, the home is a “blank canvas” and practically untouched. The home is what is known as a s “couture ready” mansion in which the potential buyer has full control on what they want to do with the interior. In my own opinion, I would definitely want to buy a house that was fully finished both inside and out.

These are pictures of Jacqueline Laurita’s 7,000+ square foot home.

This is picture of Caroline Manzo’s 10,000 square foot house. As you can see, it looks like her son who is standing in the doorway of the home.

Thanks again to Russell who supplied the photos!

He couldn’t get a picture of Dina’s house, because there wasn’t any room to stop and take pictures.

Exterior Photos of Teresa Giudice's Mansion

My friend Russell drove by Teresa’s house and took some pictures. As you can see, Teresa was home at the time. You can see her black Escalade in the driveway. I wonder why she left the gate open. I like how she has an intercom and I love the mailbox, but I think the two lions on either side of the gate are a bit much. What do you guys think?
