There are a lot of people on this board that feel the world revolves around DC. You see it on the private school forum as well. I don't get it - people like different things and no one person is better than another for it. Had I my druthers, I'd be anywhere but the DC area!

That house is truly hideous -I'm fascinated by it - but it's not a McMansion - it's an actual mansion. It's on a big piece of property surrounded by lots of other manses. McMansions are big homes on small plots of land with a cookie-cutter quality.


Is that the one just before you get to Potomac village with the evening light show? I think it even has palm trees.


Yes and i agree. It's a mansion, not a McMansion.


I WANT TO SEE THIS HOUSE.

This entire neighborhood.



The homes in this neighborhood were featured on the St. Albans Christmas House Tour. Anyone go? Any opinions?

Can the shutters on the Juliet balcony actually be closed? It looks as though they'd bump into the rail.


This is a large house on a latge lot in a great neighborhood. This is a mansion
-- clearly not a McMansion.


Ok I get the rules if the house is in dc city limits its a mcmansion, but if that same house was in bethesda or mclean it is a mcmansion. Please gtfo.



I have no idea what your post means. Please post again when you're not drinking.

I said this house was NOT a McMansion and it is in Bethesda. You still are making no sense. Why don't you tend to your crying newborn and get your potty mouth off this forum.

So where is the last Sandy Springs house that people keep posting actually located?

I think it's gorgeous and would not give a crap if someone else called it a McMansion.

So many people here sound classless and jealous. If you had class you wouldn't be trying to notice what others have (and consequently, what you don't). How immature, naive and disgusting. Grow up, get a hobby, do something with your life besides trying to judge others. You're not very good at it.

And using the word "mcMansion"? Is your life that bad? Do you have to announce it to others? Really? I know plenty of old houses that have piecemeal add ons that are so sorry, you may as well announce that you can't afford the neighborhood. Really? Ick.
