After the fashion of that exhaustive Grandpa Duck thread we had a while ago, how about documenting all instances of Scrooge explicitly living elsewhere than in his money bin?

There is a short story from 2012 by Vainiomaki - unfortunately not a good one - where Scrooges lives in a normal suburban house just like Donald's one:
I found that weird. Only thing remarkable of a very poor story.
I remember a couple of Italian stories from the 50's, written by Martina or Chendi and drawn by Bottaro, where Scrooge is shown to live in his villa/manor, and go to the money bin only for work, like in ducktales and in Barks's stories before 1951.
There were several stories by Jack Bradbury in Donald Duck comics, in the early 1950s, which had Uncle Scrooge living in a mansion house. I remember a Donald Duck story that Paul Murry drew, that had Scrooge living in a mansion. Barks had him living in a mansion house in "Christmas on Bear Mountain", and, I believe in "The Magic Hourglass".
Rainbow Island Rendevousimplies that Scrooge lives in a mansion on the corner of Billionaire's Row and Cash Drive. The only relevant panels:
Perhaps we could see he was actually visiting someone or that the building he's going into isn't a home but some other kind of facility. Still, I think it's pretty clear that he intent was that Scrooge is going to his home in these panels. There's nothing in the story to imply otherwise.
No matter what I say or do, know that Jesus loves you.
"Paperinik il diabolico vendicatore" /"The Diabolical Duck Avenger" (DA steals Scrooge's mattress - with Scrooge sleeping - from a regular mansion, not from the money bin).
If anything, perhaps makes more sense a list of stories with Scrooge explicitly living in the money bin (living outside the money bin seems more the rule than the exception)?

Scrooge has a bed and sleeps in the Bin in The Beagle Boys vs. the Money Bin.
And in Life and Times #12, Scrooge decides to sell his Bear Mountain-mansion, meaning that he probably starts living in the Bin after that. At least in the Rosa continuity.
This is the perfect thread to ask my question! Has Don Rosa ever explained why Scrooge moved to the "Christmas on the Bear Mountain" mansion after he retired when the United States entered WW2? (I am writing a Life of Scrooge chapter 11B for my own amusement and I would like to end it with Scrooge moving into the mansion.)
In some stories by Dick Moore, Scrooge lives in a mansion. Off the top of my head, I can remember one in particular: Scrooge's Birthday (March 1954). Here are two panels from one t
Barks had him live in a normal house in the back-up story of Uncle Scrooge 6 as well as a one-pager GeoX recently discussed on his site.
I assume you refer to the one-pager titled "Easy Mower," where Scrooge uses a sheep as a lawnmower? Given the size of the grounds and the style of the building, I wouldn't call that a "normal house!" :-D
