House of the Day: A Palace in Pennsylvania

One of the most expensive -- and extensive -- houses in the Philadelphia area, this behemoth of a home in Gladwyne, Pa., stretches 22,000 square feet and comes with a price tag of $14.9 million.

With six bedrooms, nine bathrooms and lavish living spaces, there's plenty of room to showcase elaborate interior details, like carved moldings, walnut paneling and acres of travertine flooring. Ceilings are equally over the top, so to speak, including one made of Venetian plaster criscrossed with walnut beams. .
