A '''mansion''', manson or manor is a very large dwelling house. U.S. realtors define a mansion as a dwelling of over 8,000 square feet (740 m2). A [[traditional]] European mansion was defined as a house which contained a ballroom and tens of bedrooms. Today, however, there is no [[formal]] definition beyond being a large and well-appointed house. | A '''mansion''', manson or manor is a very large dwelling house.
