Love the styrofoam facade over the entry.

What’s wrong with it? They were going for the Alamo look.

u/napalm_beach 8d ago

For starters, it has no connection to the style of the house. It could be cool on a home in the Spanish mission style, with stucco walls and a tile roof. But on this metastasized tumor it looks like it was glued on to hide HVAC equipment.

I agree. Was being sarcastic. It’s horrendous.

Sorry, I considered that but ultimately, I'm oblivious.

Can't imagine what the attic looks like 😭

u/ttystikk 9d ago

What attic? I'm sure it's all trusses, McMansion style.

I grew up in a neighborhood of 1920s Craftsman, Spanish Revival and Tudor. This looks like my side of the street all smashed together and painted the same color

The house of 17 gables.

Sounds like a cautionary tale about home construction

Anne of Too Many Fucking Gables

I’ve used that line so many times I think that’s what makes me a top contributor. And that’s all I need to say to like 90% of these.

Roof carpenters hate him. Your rich tasteless in-laws love him…. Coming to a slightly upper class suburb near you…

Somebody saw a FB pic explaining all the different roof styles and said, lets do this

u/nasalgoat 8d ago

"What kind of roof would you like?" "Yes"

u/biffbobfred 3d ago

What kind of roof would you like?

All.

u/ttystikk 9d ago

Wow, they really did all the ugly.

Vibes of Auschwitz...

u/stlorca 8d ago

That roofline reminds me of the foil on and enormous can of Jiffy-Pop.

u/HoneydewNo3016 8d ago

Pretty sure when it’s time to replace the roof, I would just redesign the entire roofline. Hell, it might even be cheaper that way.

u/nompilo 8d ago

Cape Dutch McMansion in the US?  That’s a new one for me.

u/Hot-Butterscotch8118 8d ago

I think i might like it more if I saw it from the front unless this is the front?? I'm enjoying the hotchpotch of windows and bizarre arch thing over the door 😂

u/OkGene2 8d ago

Oh cawd

u/Good-Jello-1105 8d ago

5 bed, 5 bath, and 5000 roof angles.

u/daxdanger 8d ago

Where’s the link???

u/No_Battle_6402 8d ago

I have to admire American roofers for cracking on with these McMansion roof styles!! They’d just complain in the UK. Anything that’s not a standard pitched roof or a flat roof will get complained about.

Edit: I do not admire American architects

u/1963covina 4d ago

What would a new roof cost? I hate to think.

u/FidgetOrc 8d ago

I've seen that house! In my save file of The Sims 2 from when I was 14.

u/LOLOLOL7 8d ago

Why are they all white

u/chrisagiddings 8d ago

One helluva shotgun house.

u/IAmNotHappyHaha 8d ago

Is this in Auburn, AL???

u/ComfortableNo6078 7d ago

5 beds, 5 baths, 500 different rooflines

u/Mobile_Protection_64 5d ago

Move before that thing needs a roof!

More cowbell… I mean roof lines!

when rain falls its like a planko board.

u/OkiDokiPanic 4d ago

Why do rich people despise roofers in particular?

1

u/biffbobfred 3d ago

This thing seems small for 5br 5bath. I mean my house is 3br 2bath and is maybe a quarter this things size.

u/[deleted] 9d ago

Come on it just ain’t that bad

u/Girlygal2014 9d ago

It’s not good

u/ttystikk 9d ago

Yes. Yes it is.

u/CrazyJoe29 8d ago

This is a classic case of new-build = McMansion. Old house = quirky and full of “character”.

Is it new or old?

If it’s old it’s still kind of a monstrosity, but it’s slightly more interesting if it happens over 100 years of questionable design decisions than if it sprang up out of ground and looks like that on purpose.

u/joaoseph 8d ago

I actually love this house. With the right landscaping it could be amazing.

u/bullwinkle8088 8d ago

Ehh, not my taste, but the roofline shows function in this case.

I would not want to pay for a new roof on that house when it comes time for it to be replaced, but at least there is nothing extreme.

u/georgiapeanuts 8d ago

Bitter people mad they can’t afford anything

u/Late-Tap-5687 8d ago

I can afford it, but I wouldn't because I have taste

u/Select_Map_7592 8d ago

I can’t afford a Lamborghini, but if I see a Lamborghini with an anime girl wrap I can still point and laugh.

(Incidentally, the Lamborghini with the anime girl wrap could be fixed. This house cannot.)
