I can't figure out how to post the picture. I think this is the mother of all McMansions. Its on a tiny lot right on a major intersection."

I doubt that's a McMansion meaning preset plans built over and over again.

McMansions are those found in new/er home developments in Ashburn and PG County. The teardown close in are definitely not McMansions.

This is a home for sale on the same block as the mega huge mansion that makes all the classic and McMansions on the block look like shacks. Click on birdseye veiw and see if you can find it-hint-it is a new build so landscaping not quite finished (though it is now). 16 million dollar home with over 20,000 sq feet. Jaw dropping, really!

More money than taste. A variation of we don't know what we are doing so we will add one or more elements from various styles that span centuries and/or the globe.

Note: Monticello, Versailles and the Taj all have large lots. Not so for McMansions.

If some of these owners get a less that warm reception in their new neighborhoods consider that their investment has probably really impacted current resident's property taxes. I know of some in close in neighborhoods who have seen their taxes double in the last few years due to the addition of outsized houses.

This went up last year in my neighborhood. I post the google maps link so you can see the size and proximity of the two next door neighbors.

At least it has one predominant architectural theme. Completely out of whack for a neighborhood of mid-century ramblers (or, for Virginia, for that matter), but whatevs….

And those other two houses currently in build stage that have 395 as their front yard. It's not like that neighborhood is full of modest houses, but wow.

Ah yes, the Spanish mission style. Totally fits in the DC area

This is prime example of the new build ones, not how close the neighboring houses are. Huge houses built right on top of each other.
