Are you even surprised that Bill Gates' grand mansion has an al fresco bedroom? Yes, that is correct, 'Xanadu 2.0' has an outdoor sleeping area situated on the upstairs terrace of the house. From here you can see the stunning views across the city at night.

A private bar... with premium champagne!

If you’re lucky enough to have a bar in your own home, I bet it isn’t as grand as this one…you would think this was a real luxury bar in New York City! The cabinets are fully stocked with expensive bottles of wine, holding enough space to host a lavish party.

Here is the stunning outside view of the mega-mansion 'Xanadu 2.0’. Unlike the grand modern interiors of the house, Bill Gates has kept the exterior very natural and earthy in keeping with the mountains and trees which surround this magnificent home.

Just 1 of 24 bathrooms!

This is one of the 24 bathrooms in 'Xanadu 2.0'...yep, 24 bathrooms! We can’t get over how stunning the interiors are, with the room featuring a square bathtub in the centre surrounded by glass panels. There is even a TV on the wall so you can enjoy your favourite movie.

The swanky dining area!

This is one of our favourite parts of the house, the dining room. With a floor-to-ceiling glass window in the background, this would be the most amazing setting for a dinner party. The table has been dressed with elegance, featuring white leather chairs and delicate lighting.

Night lights for ultimate ambience...

This image really captures the stunning views over Washington, making the mansion seem so close yet so far from the city. What an amazing place to enjoy late night views, after taking a dip in the gleaming blue pool and then relaxing on the terrace. 

A bath... with a view!

If you thought the last bathroom was spectacular…check out this one! You would almost believe you were at a spa resort in the Swiss Alps, with the clean cut interiors and scenic views. We wouldn’t mind taking a soak in that bathtub any day of the week.

This is where the man himself sleeps...

We can only assume this is the master suite where Bill Gates resides. This elegant bedroom has a Japanese inspired aura with light wood panels, oak flooring and neutral walls. The elevated bed in the centre of the room has a magnificent piece of artwork hanging above it.

It's all in the tiny details...

It’s all about the details, and Bill Gates certainly paid a lot of attention to them… everything from the grand infinity pool to the elegant taps in the sinks, this grand mansion has been designed with precision and care to achieve a refined modern look.

The cosy snug area

There may be plenty of seating areas in this house, but we all need a cosy corner to snuggle up in for the evening. This is the perfect spot to sit back and relax in these comfy egg chairs, with the magnificent view in the background and the fireplace sparking.

Check out the mood lighting!

We’d pay a lot of money to be a guest in this room for the night…this image captures the calming ambience created by the mellow blue mood lighting which is cast against the white walls. The unique low-level bed is immersed by a huge fluffy rug, creating a cosy space.

The high-tech kitchen area

If you love to cook, this would be your dream kitchen...but don't worry, if you're not too keen on this one there are five other kitchens you can choose from! We wonder if Bill does any cooking himself, or maybe he has a private chef to make his meals?

Imagine having this view...

Check out the grand staircase!

One of the most prominent and central features of any home is the staircase, and this one really does make an impact. With glass side panels and a unique structural design, this grand oak staircase leads perfectly from the downstairs to the next floor above.

Imagine diving into this plunge pool...

If the infinity pool wasn’t enough for you, there is no need to worry…at the back of the house is a beautiful plunge pool. We can just imagine sitting on that recliner after a late night swim, taking in the stunning views as the sun sets and the city lights up.

The swanky outdoor terrace

Here is an image of the elegant front entrance to Bill Gates’ magnificent home. There is nothing too exciting going on here, but the modern style is in keeping with the elegance of the interiors. The high walls are there to maintain privacy to the property.

A place for the family to relax

We think this is where Bill Gates must enjoy his lazy evenings, lounged on this stunning cream sofa in front of the television. This room is more cosy than some of the more open plan spaces across the house, making it perfect for the winter evenings.

This is where intimate dinner parties are held
