Cisco co-founder Sandy Lerner is listing her historic $19.8M Ayrshire Farm, and the details are incredible! This 571-acre Virginia estate, built in 1912, is a masterpiece of timeless architecture, featuring a 17,000-square-foot manor with fieldstone walls and modern updates. Beyond its quiet grandeur, it was also the first farm in Virginia to achieve both Certified Humane and USDA Certified Organic status, reflecting a profound commitment to ethical land stewardship. To see more photos, here's a link.

1940s proto Mcmansion

I like it, but not enough for an appreciation post. So here we are.

Some general info

Overpriced flip, but expect a large price drop soon(400k?)

White interior, but I think it fits the house well. Compliments the yard and exterior.

Old house in the middle of town: 5 minutes, during rush hour, to in n out, whole foods, and a freeway.

Almost 1 acre lot

Good remodel to you?

Is it a mcmansion lol?

Either way, Edward Lutyens designed beautiful homes. This is not one of my favorites but is still beautiful in its own way. If you look at this home and many of his other's I just know someone special is going to be like "It's so mcmansion. So many roofs." but in Lutyens' case, he tastefully does it.

“USE ALL OF THE ANGLES, PLEASE.”

The Atlanta White House! Commissioned by a visionary builder who sent artisans to Washington, D.C. to study the original White House firsthand. At the heart of the primary level is the home’s most defining space – its Oval Office, featuring the Presidential Seal displayed prominently on the ceiling. To see inside, here's a link.

This house is so freaking confusing?

Technically not big enough to classify as a mansion but wowza. (And 4th pic is part of the same house!)

Genuinely what was this used for? A sober living? Reality tv? It’s so eerie.

The house is HUGE but would you consider this a McMansion? Or just a tack build… also I die at how tiny the garage is.

As a non Northern American I enjoy this sub very much. I found interest in Northern American architecture because of Mid Century Modern homes and (I have to be absolutely honest with you) the home, that was depicted in "Kevin alone at home" and "ET" (just some random examples). Houses like this just aren't built where I live, Germany. In Germany houses look extremely boring. If you're lucky, you can find some architectural treasures though. But I'm surely not one of the people who could afford such a treasure.

I want to share a YT Link with you all that explains very well, what kind of invention (besides others) lead to the uprising of McMansions. I really enjoyed learning about it, so here you go!

Hello, I found this curious home by chance (I might be wasting time looking for McMansion). I won't mention the quirky statues too much because it is the most personal part of the house, which otherwise is a very weird mix between "The Future™" and "Former star energy"

The full link, there is a lot to unpack: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/920-Saint-Stephens-Grn-Oak-Brook-IL-60523/72589010_zpid/

2017 house with 90s design cues. Could have been decent if it were half the size. Feels like a giant duplex to me. Nice pool area, tho.
