This lavish 2-story home theater, fit for a king, is located in a 30,000 square foot Contemporary mega mansion in the Cayman Islands. It is one of the few 2-story home theaters that I’ve come across and certainly one of the most impressive ones. Instead of building the home theater inside the home, the homeowners actually opted to build a freestanding structure. It measures 34 by 25 feet with 22-foot-high ceilings and is around 800 square feet. It boasts 19 custom-designed seats, a 2nd floor balcony with bar stools that seat 12, lobby area, snack bar, bathroom, stage and a fiber optic ceiling. High-tech features include a $250,000 4K (4096-by-2400-pixel) projector from Meridian, a 210-inch-wide screen from Stewart Filmscreen and an all-digital Meridian surround-sound system featuring 10 speakers and seven subwoofers, all of which were carefully installed behind the acoustically treated walls and ceiling. This is definitely a dream home theater!

This huge waterfront mansion is located at 4449 Bay Shore Road in Sarasota, FL. It is owned by James and Maryann Armour and was styled after the Monte Carlo Casino. They purchased in 2008 for $19 million and they have spent millions on renovations since then. It boasts 21,192 square feet of living space and is likely the most expensive and largest home since John Ringling built his Ca’ d’Zan estate in 1925. It boasts 22 rooms with 11 bedrooms, 12 baths and three half-baths, media room, a grand salon, a dining room, a fitness center, a “kids’ rec room,” a study, staff quarters, guest quarters, a master bedroom/sitting room the size of a cottage, a master closet that could pass for an apartment in Manhattan, and a “file room.” The total building area tops 39,000 square feet.
