King of Comedy Steve Harvey's King-Sized Mansion Up For Sale


Funnyman, actor, radio host, author, and GMA correspondent Steve Harvey has placed his Plano, Texas, mansion up for sale.  His monster home (below) can be yours for only $3.5 million.  This is down from an earlier asking price of $3.95 million. 


Of course, you'd need to find the front door first.  Doesn't this look like two separate homes joined together at the center?  Well, it is!  It turns out that the home on the left is actually his two-story guest house.

Steve's double-house sits on 3.25 acres and comes with a 7-car garage, though the yard naturally seems tiny because of the size of the house.  Clocking in at nearly 11,700 square feet, it has 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 2 half baths. 

Here are a few photos of the interior:


 The kitchen (above) is probably the nicest looking room in the house.  And the coffered ceiling in the keeping room below is a nice touch.


But we can barely tell his dining room . . .




from his living room . . .



. . . or his study:


Enough with the chandeliers and beveled-glass windows already! 

Look, we like Steve.  But we think he's yet another celebrity of humble origins who feels the need to show off his wealth with an oversized ostentatious house. 

Tell us, do you think it's too much?  Or is it simply a well-earned reward for achieving success through fame and hard work?
