Frequently, experts that I interview draw a parallel between over-the-top homes in the current market and the Gilded Age. Today’s Boston Globe makes a similar comparison in an article about a $23 million mansion being constructed in Boston.

According to the Globe, the owner, investment executive Ofer Nemirovsky, spent 10 years acquiring two adjacent properties at the corner of Exeter Street and Commonwealth Avenue in the city’s Back Bay district. The new 23,000 square foot home will be the largest in the entire city. Each of the home’s six levels has a specific focus. One is devoted solely to a master suite; another to formal spaces. Interesting features include an atrium bordered by a glass walkway and railings; an “artifact room” connecting to one of two studies in the master suite and an indoor sports court.
