It would depend on which side of the house that bath is on, given what we can see of other homes both above and below this one in the various photos. Large windows are not a problem if staying out of the line-of-sight from neighbors is taken into account.

I actually like parts of this place, especially the pool and yard area. Not too big, not too small, and definitely not overly ornate. Also, the entry veranda, seen in Pic 3. Simple, clean lines and a limited color palette that emphasizes the materials and foliage. Classic.

Oddly, I noted the French styling of some of the furniture in this home specifically because it was *not* the horror inducing over-the-top sort we saw in the Party Horse House of November 22. Much more subdued, as witnessed in the living room in Pic 5. But even the more unusual show pieces in the entryway, in Pics 4 and 10, are in keeping with moderately ornate Louis XIV furniture. Granted, the rest of the individual room decors don’t hold together as well, let alone provide a coherent whole throughout the house, but I’ll take sketchy incoherence over the “this makes me want to be an arsonist” crap in the Party Horse House any day.

In Versailles’ case, that would have been Louis XIV of France. (You can even see a representative emblem of the Sun King above the fireplace in Pic 11.)

I do foresee one minor problem, though… It will be most difficult indeed to keep up the charade of “the Emperor’s new clothes” whilst one is within the Hall of Mirrors. But such is the burden of servants within the royal household.

The interior design/decoration in this house was truly and wonderfully gag worthy, making it a must for LL!
