the 10,000-square foot home in Somers was sold Tuesday to a local doctor.

Bet it's a surgeon. They've got both the money and the necessary attitude.

Nice house, wrong location.

Thomas Jefferson was vexed by the costs associated with his home; perhaps the loss associated with the selling price adds to the authenticity.

I recall that the original had some design flaws and that might have been a roof that did not drain well. I wonder if they fixed that.

Can’t match the original - neat place to visit - standing in Jefferson’s small bedroom when the guide tells you that that little bed not five feet away is the one where Jefferson died is somehow awesome......

a replica of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello has been sold at auction for more than $2.1 million, far below the $7.7 million it cost to build just two years ago. The mansion was built by S. Prestley Blake, a co-founder of... Friendly's restaurant chain and a longtime admirer of Jefferson. The 101-year-old ice cream magnate has never lived in it, but held functions inside.

So, he already used it as a tax write-off. No problem about the other $5.6 milliion, then.

As a realtor I think the owner “over built the neighborhood.”

It is a $2 million neighborhood, not a $7 million neighborhood.

Something’s not right about it, the proportions are off. It’s sitting too low to the ground and the windows seem too small also.
