This is a normal city lot in upper NWDC. This is just a big NEW city house. Nothing makes it a Mc, unless you think it is lacking aesthetic architectural design and built with inferior materials. Not everyone likes new homes ( including me) but that alone doesn't make a Mc.



The small lot is not the ONLY requirement. The McMansion must have a small lot AND have a garish, overdone, yet cookie cutter look to it. It's like pornography--I can't always describe it, but I know it when I see it.

This has been debated so much- that is a mansion, there is nothing "mc" about it!

hahah exactly. I did that experiment a couple of weeks ago. People kept calling a place a mcmansion which I swapped the pict for a place in dc and then put a place up in dc and said it was in McLean and it was called a mcmansion.

At 3.8 million, looks a regular city mansion to me.

unless there are 42 other similar looking units built next to it, otherwise, not a McMansion.
