Massive Mansion May Mean $100,000 In Taxes To West Hartford 

WEST HARTFORD — - Think your house taxes are high?  Try $100,000.  That's the estimated July 2010 tax bill for millionaire businessman-philanthropist Arnold Chase's just-completed 50,800-square-foot home on Avon Mountain, the biggest in town and probably in the state.  It will be the largest single-family residential tax bill ever sent out here, Tax Collector Helene Lefkowitz said.  Two-thirds of the Chase home is in two underground levels, making the structure like an iceberg, with most of its mass below the surface.The 4 1/2 -story home took more than three years to build on its 33-acre ridgeline parcel off Albany Avenue. It includes a 3,000-square-foot exhibit hall, a 4,700-square-foot game room and a movie theater with more than 100 seats. - complete story
