The mansion seen at the beginning is Biltmore Estate near Asheville, North Carolina. Besides "The Swan" and "Pruitts," it was also used in the Peter Sellers film, "Being There."
Oh yes, I forgot to mention this interesting and little-known fact: the footage seen at :01-:11 [as in the pilot episode] was "lifted" from the opening sequence of Grace Kelly's final theatrical film, "The Swan" (1956). The producer figured, if you're going to show the exterior of a glamorous estate and mansion, without busting your production budget, borrow from the best!
I wish someone could post all the episodes. I would love to see this again.

@owlydog :-) I think it's really a dryer, or perhaps part of a combo washer-dryer, except mounted in the wall... (Too funny, in any case)
