Totally. I can't believe it took 13 pages for someone to point these homes out.

This entire neighborhood.

If you're asking yourself "Is this a McMansion?", first consider that McDonalds didn't exist before the mid-50s, and it didn't have its modern reputation til much later. Tacking "Mc" onto something to denote "cheap, ubiquitous, reliable low quality" probably didn't start til the late 70s or so.

Therefore, no house built before 1955 (and I would argue 1975) can possibly be called a McMansion.

big, over the top, and mansion, yes... mcmansion, no... reason? It's actually scaled somewhat properly, uses expensive materials (surprised the hoodrats didn't try to steal the copper off of it (but this nw hood probably has full-time private security), and 50 years from now with some real trees and landscaping, it might be more comparable to the 1932 house that was improperly posted... now don't get me wrong, I don't like this house at all, but it's in a much higher league than those beauties in arlington...

Although the house is handsome, the amount of land is disproportionate, as is the size of the front portico/porch.

My parents live in a town with a lot of "old money" and there are whole neighborhoods of gorgeous 100-year-old victorians around this size on smaller plots of land.

Are those houses mcmansions too??!?

I drive past it every day from Wilson Lane. Notice how close each house it. I think you can reach from one kitchen to the other to borrow a cup of sugar.

If you check out the aerial view, it's pretty clear where mcmansion ville starts and ends...

Is this a duplex?!

Either that or this family has some strange need for two mailboxes, two garages and two front doors (one on either side of the house).

Me too. (The simple fact that it has functional, architecturally correct shutters puts it outside the McMansion category).

This is very close to the intersection of Randolph and New Hampshire in Colesville, isn't it?
