The Breakers
Maximalist Living
When it came to houses, the Vanderbilt family didn’t know the meaning of the words, “too much”. This Gilded Age mansion (19th century) puts the $$$$ in lavi$$$$h.
The 70-room Italian Renaissance-style "summer cottage" has dizzying wallpaper, stately columns, majestic stairways, gilded ceilings with allegorical scenes, enormous chandeliers, and ocean views.
Take in the opulence and then stroll the manicured grounds.
Nearby, visit other grand properties such as The Elms, Marble House, or Rosecliff to see which of the mansions suits your tastes.
