In the market for a giant, glamorous Brooklyn pad? Need more room for your growing entourage? We’ve rounded up five of the borough’s most over-the-top homes — with high-end price tags to match. Many of these homes have lingered on the market for years. But maybe you’re just the millionaire they’ve been waiting for.

Even if your home-buying budget is closer to the $200,000 or $500,000 range, ogling expensive homes is a time-honored real estate tradition. These extravagant abodes won’t disappoint.

This stately semi-detached brownstone — built in 1857 for the father of Brooklyn Mayor Seth Low II — is one of Brooklyn’s most expensive listings ever. Right now, the home’s mind-boggling 17,354 square feet of space is configured in eight separate apartments. But if you’ve got an ample fortune, you could convert it back into the astoundingly elegant single-family mansion it once was.

Longtime readers will also recognize this enormous 23,000-square-foot complex — it’s one of the largest homes in Brooklyn. The main building features no fewer than four master bedroom suites and two kitchens, and it comes with oodles of outdoor space including a pool, gardens and two boat slips. There’s also a large guest house. Sure, it’s a little out of the way for most — in Mill Basin — but with amenities like that, you wouldn’t ever need to leave.

You may recognize this last pick on our list — we’e written about it before as one of the borough’s priciest listings. Still on the market after nearly two years, the 6,500-square-foot home has lost none of its 19th-century elegance and grandeur. Still overpriced? Or is this home just waiting for the right millionaire to come along?
