Hello Mass Elite Househunters,
According to Wikipedia: The word mansion derives through Old French from the Latin word mansio "dwelling," an abstract noun derived from the verb manere "to dwell."
The English word manse originally defined a property large enough for the parish priest to maintain himself, but a mansion is no longer self-sustaining in this way.
Today, a mansion is considered any large home, usually 5,000 or more square feet.
All the best, Shawna
