Anyone who can't understand why 00:15 is a McMansion but 23:17 is not, should not be commenting on this thread. Rather, they should be reading and trying to understand.

This is interesting.

Whoever posted this has picked up on a few elements of a typical mcmansion, but then posted a picture of the source of those elements!

This house is lovely. Wouldn't change a thing.

The neighbors must weep at all 8000 square feet.


Are the traffic cones across the driveway to keep people from using it as a turnaround? I can see not wanting them to, but wow, what a clue that your design is not well thought out.

These homes do look the same - there's just like 5+ different types to chose from - like the stucco style with no front yard on a main sort of road, the oddly shaped all aluminum siding ones with no shutters, the cookie-cutter Ashurn/Lessburg/Frederick-ish brick front ones you see in golf course communities. . . and then there are those ones with the odd looking India-ish or Wizard of Oz-ish pointy tower things.


You just described the god awful home in dc from 1932

These look like nice homes to raise surly, meth smoking teens in. Lots of garage space to build an arsenal that your parent will later claim to know nothing about. All neighbors will describe each other as "quiet, kept to himself".

Is that red mulch? Well. *sniff* I simply wouldn't live in a house with red mulch.

And in what Hobbit land do you live?


sorry you are wrong, the hobbit land would be where the small homes are normal. what "Giant Ogre" land do you live in is the proper question.


Those are not mansions. Not even close. Something hovering around 3Ksq feet is not a mansion, especially when the average home size in the US is 2800sq feet.

My family is from Middleburg, I'm qualified in determining what a Mansion is. My parents live in a home that is around 12,000 sq feet and has lighted tennis courts, underground parking garage, and a staff that runs it. That is a mansion. The houses posted here are pedestrian with the Bethesda home being tacky.


Bragging on an anonymous forum is so lame. Unless you're RJ's ex-wife, just stfu.

Is this even a mcmansion? It's surrounded by large trees and mature landscaping, it seems small in scale, the materials do not look generic or new to me (arch wood door, slate roof, stone, painted brick), if it's not an older home it looks pretty convincing.


Built in 1932. Not a McMansion.


Sorry this is a 1932 mcmansion trying to be from mid evil times, horrible
