mansion's
Grand residence's attribute
Mansion's is the possessive form of mansion, a large and impressive house, typically one associated with wealth and high social status.
The word often implies grandeur beyond mere size—formal rooms, extensive grounds, and architectural distinction.
The mansion's gardens stretched for acres.
In American English, mansion sometimes appears in compound terms like governor's mansion to designate official residences, even when they're not especially palatial.
