My sister Susan and I have driven past the building seen in the photograph above, located on the ocean in Jensen Beach, Florida, many times. I have always thought it was a very upscale condo building, but recently there was an article in the Stuart News featuring the "9 best Christmas lights to drive-through or go see this holiday season on the Treasure Coast," and one of them was simply called the Jensen Beach mansion. And after checking the location, I realized it was the building I thought was a condo complex. It turns out that this is the home of businessman Robert Eustace and his family. The house is the largest in Martin County at 50,000 square feet, and consists of a main house with 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 2-story great room, formal dining room, gourmet kitchen, breakfast room, family room, library, office, game room, home theater, gym, a 12 car underground garage, a guest house, and covered and uncovered outdoor spaces. I hope they have a big family to help out, because that place must take forever to clean. And evidently, for many years, this mansion has been a major destination to visit for its Christmas lights display. It is described as "the most stunning display of lights on Hutchinson Island," with over 700,000 lights on display. Which must take the Eustace family weeks to put up. Talk about Christmas stress.
