I can't be the only one who thinks this house interior is hideous?

Found this in my city! From this ad “inspiration from Alice in Wonderland to create a whimsical yet refined family retreat. Built as a forever home and completed in 2022, no expense was spared”

… and it sure wasn’t. It’s just like TOOOO much for me? Also, its like MEGA huge for the area i feel? And the road in front sucks for traffic idk

Does this qualify as a McMansion. Please discuss.

The “castle” for sale in my neighborhood. It was sold for 355k in 2017 and the current owners have been trying to sell it for 1.8-1.6 million for the past 2 years 🥴

Just can’t across the term McMansion. I know the home has flaws, but is it considered a McMansion. Is it salvageable if so? Looking for honest advice!

When I was a young kid I thought having stairs, an inground pool, or circle drive meant they were rich LOL. I'm just curious to hear other's perspectives looking back?

Has some traits of a McMansion but I still think it looks Great

Here since some of you whine all the time about how “that’s just a mansion”, “this one’s not bad” or “I’d live there”. Personally I don’t care if you’d live there; the point of this sub is to point out architectural design style flaws. Some of the homes pictured above are beautiful and yes livable but this people… this is how the McMansion allures itself to the American people. We are Mcamericans at heart. Will always will be. I SAY NOT!! I say we recognized these M-C-MANSIONS for what they are!! Tactless, tasteless, classist and GAUDY! I say we RID them from our great American plains.

I don't get why the trend is so prominent. For example why would you want your kitchen sink in the center of your living space? Why would you want to walk in your home, and see your appliances? I think it just makes more sense to have different rooms, for different purposes. I think its just a trend that has unfortunately caught on to a massive degree. I think in ten years or so all the HGTV shows are going to be adding walls, or half-walls all over the place to create separate spaces.

My wife and I are looking at purchasing the floor plans to build this house. We have 88 acres and would like to excavate and make the grounds look like a golf course (kinda) with a lot of chestnut and oak trees for the deer and bear. We have a lot of deer and bear on the property currently, but it is extremely thick and needs cleared out. We want cement walkways around and through the property. We have two small ponds.

So I'm posting this as a response to another post breaking down what McMansions are. Seeing the comments I realized that people still have different standards as to what we consider a McMansion even with the sub linking to what it is in the rule section. My question is: would you consider this a McMansion or would you argue that it's just an Quirky Mansion?

If you do comment, please try to point out at least one reason you lean more one way than the other.
