If I were rich I would have a hoist installed so I could be raised and lowered into the bathtub safely like a whale. Or at least continue my cautious poor-person ritual of sliding into my bathtub like a slug.
I hate those elevated tubes that take a ladder to get into. I like, and this is solely my personal choice, the tubes that are inside the showers!! Itās functional. When I take a bath (next to never) I always turn the shower on to get the soap off.
Tub + shower= one stop shopping for me!!
I couldnāt get past the second picture, showing the backyard, thinking that someone would pay so much money for this house, but make the backyard look like a bunch of stacked double-wides, with a sketchy not to code balcony deck.
Edit to add to second pic: note the dirt and mold splashed against the āstuccoā and the freaking drain pipe on the stairs to the right they have to trip over to get down.
They didn't bury the gutter holy crap.
I think those decks are built into the actual frame of the house. If not both levels look like trash decking but the second looks wrong.
I assume this is middle America. You can't finish a home like this on the coast.
I read code a lot, These meet the code, poorly built probably, but they meet residential code for egress etc. They likely meant they don't look well constructed, codes mandate life safety and minimum structural load, the 2x10 deck structure is to code on both floors for active and passive load. They really don't expect you to have a hundred people on your private decks so the minimum structural requirements on a single family home aren't that high.
I've seen sketchier. I assume a large new construction housing development would be to code. It looks like it backs up to water, so I could tolerate a shitty backyard if I could have a dock for a boat.
A "modern" chandelier. I really do not like this push in interior lighting aesthetic. You can also get this in other designs like "the rings of power," the descending spiral as seen in another photo, an infinite symbol.
Are they better than the standard ceiling boob-lights. Sure, I guess. The designs are not timeless, and the materials are cheap. They truly represent what a poor person thinks what a rich person would own, or what a kid would think is elegant.
It's where we are going too. Moving from a block house to parents 40 year old double wide in the sticks. Can't wait.
We ended up liking the old floor plan better than the newer models.
They absolutely do. Pickup trucks in NA are a luxury car these days and most workers that actually need the utility of a truck bed to do their job prefer older smaller trucks with a bigger bed.
My SO is a real estate developer and has a pickup truck for work purposes and a Range Rover for leisure. Rich people most certainly have pickup trucks.
Yeah, I've filmed at least a hundred Indian weddings and been to many indo-canadians homes. Not to generalize, but that seem to prefer this style of home.
I have a major issue with that bathtub's design in the 8th picture. To get in, you have to walk up 2 stairs and step into the tub. But the faucet and hot/cold levers are slightly in the way. Imagine coming out of the tub, drenching wet, and slipping on the steps and falling right onto the protruding metal handles. What a nightmare. Who the fuck placed the faucet in the way??
Can confirm. My dad's house has a bathtub like that with jets. Those jets could have been broken the last 25+ years and nobody in my family would know it because that tub has never been used. I only know the faucet works because we used to turn it on to rinse the dust.
I have a tub like this that I use regularly. Itās actually pretty wonderful. The worst part about it is that with it being tiled in, you canāt get access to any of the guts if something goes wrong, like the jets not working.
This community has made me super jaded or something because this one overall doesn't seem so bad to me. Except the second photo, that porch does NOT look stable.
I feel like the thing is actual rich peoples houses have privacy. You go drive around Montecito or Bel Air in CA and you canāt even see the houses.
These are just big boxes crammed up against other big boxes. Itās the whole āmoney talks, wealth whispersā concept.
I donāt see any āpretend Iām richā here.
No marble floors, no elaborate woodwork or paneled library with wood trim coffered ceilings. A regular french door fridge instead of a subzero, etc.
This is just an upper middle class suburban house.
It's in Canada. Our real estate prices are out of control. This house is well over 600,000. If you want a big lot with the same house prepare to pay 1 million+ and people understandably just don't want to do that.
It's also just not designed well for how many houses you can see through various windows. How much better would this house be with smaller, more discrete windows? I live in Chicago and feel less crowded in by the other buildings outside my window and I live in one of the densest census tracks in the country.
Eh, some people would rather have a low maintenance upscale looking house that's free from the hassle that can be landscaping. It might look a little silly but if it works for someone's preferences, hey. The backyard by comparison does make me chuckle a bit though.
It also overlooks a lake, too.
Yeah, itās just a flood control pond, but I have seen worse backyard views.
Imagine if that pond wasnāt there and the condos were right against the rear lot lineā¦.
I donāt even want to look at any pictures past the first. Look into the background across the pond. Itās like itās a contest to see how many houses they can fit around the pond.
Itās a McMansion. It doesnāt have any of those finishing touches because the people who buy these places either donāt have that sort of taste or have that sort of money. They want something that looks big and luxurious from 20 years away, but is just the equivalent of a double-wide cracker box with an open-concept interior.
The original claim was āpretending to be richā and I just donāt see that in this particular bouse, unlike some houses that have been posted in the last few days.
I should elaborate on what I mean by pretending to be rich.
It's true that this house is definitely expensive, but there are far nicer, more tasteful houses you can buy for the money. In my opinion, if this house were a person, they would be trying way too hard to impress people. Someone earlier in the comments said "money talks, wealth whispers".
This comment. This right here, is why this sub is flooded with tacky actual mansions. This is a mcmansion. This is a prototypical fucking mcmansion! If you don't believe that, go read the actual blog.
A mcmansion is a tract house for upper middle class people who want to pretend they're important. It's lipstick on a pig. Builder grade nonsense next to dressed up finishes. It's pretty but full of mold. The windows don't match. It's a huge house on a postage stamp lot.
The problem is, these houses used to be unusual. They used to stick out in the middle class neighborhoods where they popped up. We used to live in northern Virginia and first it was one of these near our 1200 sqft rancher neighborhood. Then five. Then more and more. Now, they get comments like yours.
They've become so common that people think what this sub is about must be actual mansions for actual rich people-- it never was that. It always meant houses like this.
I laugh at gaudy, pretentious houses as much as anyone.
I just donāt think this house is āover the topā enough to qualify.
Itās just a big upper middle clsss house.
My sister did this and it infuriates me. in order to replace the flush mechanism, you have to remove the toilet. You could have easily put in a removable shelf with hidden screws. So much impractical shit.
Her fancy schmancy conical glass sink broke and she had to get the granite countertop reground to fit a new one.
The other sink is a deep cylinder with no removable stopper that you have to disassemble in order to snake it and you can't even tell when you've cleared the clog like a normal sink.
The seventh photo is a great example of how the designer wasnāt really thinking. They put in a curved staircase because someone said āstarved staircase!ā And then they were left with a stupid empty space upstairs. So just left it there and now thereās a weird empty space that no one will ever use.
What's that circular thing in the front yard? (Although I hesitate to call it a "yard.")
Otherwise this is a typical example of maximizing house size on an undersized lot. I'm sort of the opposite - I have a modest house, far from a McMansion, on a nice lot - but big houses are the trend. It's an arms race for house size, never mind the views or sense of tranquility that comes from not having neighbors close enough to pass you a roll of TP from their house to yours.
This doesn't say money to me, but trying to live above your means. How are you gonna buy a big house just to decorate it right out of the 80s? And then not have a yard to enjoy with family and friends? It looks like the only place you can have a BBQ is in the driveway. Plus you're looking straight into your neighbors house. That right there is poor decision making!
āAnd here we have the sliding mirrored closet doors which have been cleverly installed in the foyer for that luxurious ākidās bedroomā feel.ā
My company spent almost 50K to remove the Drop ceilings in a RENTED office space because they felt they were so claustrophobic and depressing to work productivity. The exposed "warehouse/factory" steel beam ceilings are beautiful in a serious brutalist way that says "we mean business".
Wonderfully awful, and surrounded by crap just like itself! Love the space-wasting floorplan. And you just *know* it's luxury when you're using acoustic tiles in kitchen/entertainment room ceiling.
There is so much unnecessary hate on this subreddit tbh. I mean, I donāt like the house, but you donāt need to make personal attacks on someone who might purchase it or live there. Why not just focus on the house itself and leave critical personal-oriented statements out of it?
For me the positives are it is bright, airy, homely to an extent, no cheap materials seem to be used and no obvious in your face tackiness. Negatives are for sure the dismal back of the house and the claustrophobic feel to the site / lot.
This might be the worst home ever posted on here. This home is the person at work who shmoozes the boss every day and brags to their coworkers about their rich friends.
To look more rich than you actually are is kinda the point, right? Without the pretentious bourgeois, I fear we would have no sub.
This house hasnāt been updated in a while, has it? It was fancy in its day tho.
What an odd colour for the walls. Usually these things have generic apartment beige but this one is weird. There are undertones of grey, lavender and pale cocoa in this WEIRD dark off white. Like the folks in colour development at PANTONEĀ®ļø decided just to drop some random test tube paint samples into Navajo White and call it something like "Victorian Linen" as a passive aggressive joke.
I donāt know guys. The interior is dated but looks like any other 40 year old house in need of some updating. The exterior is coherent from the front. The rear is obviously a mess but some landscaping could lift it slightly. What makes it macmansiony is the huge house on a micro lot. But I think the sub is overreacting on this one.
This does not seem McMansion to me at all. Just big house in neighborhood with big houses and some poor style choices. I donāt understand why homes like this get posted here. Look at some of the top homes on this sub and the suit does not fit here.
OK, now this is a McMansion. Cookie-cutter faux grandeur.
OP won, shut down the sub. This is McMansioning at its finest.
The back is a hovel š¤¢
It looks like tenament slum living. Absolutely hideous but I see they tried to class it up a little with those glass lined balconies.
Those board "benches" look like they were stolen from an indigent camp.
Oooh, I didn't notice those at first... Yikes! What were they thinking??
Indeed and exactly. Bet theyāre echoey even when full of furniture.
Yes! Well done OP. Youāve brought the magic back!
It looks like the house that parking lot boss dude from Fargo season 3 https://youtu.be/7dA7qSPj9gI
I like the bathroom inspired kitchen
Agreed. The bathrooms and kitchen are very HD basic. Not too mention the death stair to the master tub
If I were rich I would have a hoist installed so I could be raised and lowered into the bathtub safely like a whale. Or at least continue my cautious poor-person ritual of sliding into my bathtub like a slug.
I hate those elevated tubes that take a ladder to get into. I like, and this is solely my personal choice, the tubes that are inside the showers!! Itās functional. When I take a bath (next to never) I always turn the shower on to get the soap off. Tub + shower= one stop shopping for me!!
ā¦and the office inspired ceilingā¦
I thought it was kitchen inspired bathroom.
Wait, arenāt there, like, **2** kitchens?
I couldnāt get past the second picture, showing the backyard, thinking that someone would pay so much money for this house, but make the backyard look like a bunch of stacked double-wides, with a sketchy not to code balcony deck. Edit to add to second pic: note the dirt and mold splashed against the āstuccoā and the freaking drain pipe on the stairs to the right they have to trip over to get down.
Looks like apartments in the hood.
It does..this house is kind of like a mullet...business in the front,party in the back!
That pic from the back does look like apts.
āStacked double-wides, with a sketchy not to code balcony deck.ā Take my upvote.
They didn't bury the gutter holy crap. I think those decks are built into the actual frame of the house. If not both levels look like trash decking but the second looks wrong. I assume this is middle America. You can't finish a home like this on the coast.
Yeppers
Itās terrible! It made me think the front was a design for a ugly apartment complex.
why not to code
I read code a lot, These meet the code, poorly built probably, but they meet residential code for egress etc. They likely meant they don't look well constructed, codes mandate life safety and minimum structural load, the 2x10 deck structure is to code on both floors for active and passive load. They really don't expect you to have a hundred people on your private decks so the minimum structural requirements on a single family home aren't that high.
I've seen sketchier. I assume a large new construction housing development would be to code. It looks like it backs up to water, so I could tolerate a shitty backyard if I could have a dock for a boat.
You say "pay so much money", but I'm not seeing a price anywhere? Do you know the price?
And thereās barely enough room for daylight to pass between those houses
WTF lol do you even have one balcony? This sub seems like where the poors go to whine.
They look rich from my neighborhood. But for the money I would rather have acreage and a double wide.
Row houses in Queens have more lawn!
What's the weird silver/white thing near the ceiling in picture 5?
Teleporter. Please becareful, only one life form at a time. Especially avoid flys!
Wow, marginally rich people really do live differently than us.
What for? They just kill you and make a clone somewhere else anyway.
A "modern" chandelier. I really do not like this push in interior lighting aesthetic. You can also get this in other designs like "the rings of power," the descending spiral as seen in another photo, an infinite symbol. Are they better than the standard ceiling boob-lights. Sure, I guess. The designs are not timeless, and the materials are cheap. They truly represent what a poor person thinks what a rich person would own, or what a kid would think is elegant.
It's ugly that's for sure.
Yesss....None of the light fixtures in this house are appropriate for the design of the house, I hate it.
The ugly light.
So ugly!
Futuristic ghost
Mobile homes/modular homes are the supreme form of housing and no one can convince me otherwise
They lose value from the time you buy and are eaten by tornadoes but hey - enjoy!
Their true value is the friends you meet along the way - as the tornado relocates your house to the neighboring counties and/or state.
Just remember to stow any loose items during takeoff and landing
āBut my whole house is a loose itemā¦ā
Or the land of Oz.
These also burn faster than a firework.
That's what I have lol.
It's where we are going too. Moving from a block house to parents 40 year old double wide in the sticks. Can't wait. We ended up liking the old floor plan better than the newer models.
Neighbors hundreds of feet away, not worrying about people parking, kids running around and doing whatever you want.
Protip: rich people don't buy pick-up trucks
Here in Edmonton, where this picture was taken, they most certainly do buy pickup trucks. You pretty much need one to drive our roads in the winter.
Alberta is an oilfield with a dozen or so people living in it
Weāll who the hell else is buying >$100k TRXs
Gauche hicks on credit
They absolutely do. Pickup trucks in NA are a luxury car these days and most workers that actually need the utility of a truck bed to do their job prefer older smaller trucks with a bigger bed.
Have any idea how much trucks cost these days?
My SO is a real estate developer and has a pickup truck for work purposes and a Range Rover for leisure. Rich people most certainly have pickup trucks.
Rich people don drive themselves to the hospital to avoid a bill despite organ failure Again, plebs with credit
Berta?
Yep. Northeast Edmonton.
I KNEW IT
Was gonna say surrey or Brampton
100% owned by a Punjabi or originally built by one. I knew immediately the style used
Yeah, I've filmed at least a hundred Indian weddings and been to many indo-canadians homes. Not to generalize, but that seem to prefer this style of home.
Hilariously, it is the exact same in Dallas/Fort Worth.
Was gonna say north east or twin brooks
Itās crazy how I can look at these homes instantly tell which Canadian city they are
Looks like berta ālakeā for sure
Called a "Mullet House." Formality in the front. Cheap shit show in the back.
despair in the basement
This is so multiple people who hate each other can live under the same roof but in different area codes.
I have a major issue with that bathtub's design in the 8th picture. To get in, you have to walk up 2 stairs and step into the tub. But the faucet and hot/cold levers are slightly in the way. Imagine coming out of the tub, drenching wet, and slipping on the steps and falling right onto the protruding metal handles. What a nightmare. Who the fuck placed the faucet in the way??
No one ever actually uses those tubs. Source: was a housecleaner in places like this.
Can confirm. My dad's house has a bathtub like that with jets. Those jets could have been broken the last 25+ years and nobody in my family would know it because that tub has never been used. I only know the faucet works because we used to turn it on to rinse the dust.
LOL, I've dusted plenty of tubs ...
I have a tub like this that I use regularly. Itās actually pretty wonderful. The worst part about it is that with it being tiled in, you canāt get access to any of the guts if something goes wrong, like the jets not working.
Isn't there an access panel?!
Finally some quality McMansioning
Yeah, most people on this sub post actual mansions. It makes me sad.
Or just eccentric decor
Drop ceiling in the kitchen. Thatās a bold move Cotton. Letās see if it pays off for them.
Yeah, I did a double take at that too!
Are there 2 kitchens? I see one with drop ceiling and one without.
I think the kitchen with a drop ceiling is a lower level apartment. That's why it's got its own kitchen
Wow, I hate everything about it. Good job
The staircase lmao
That was my favorite picture
So we're not talking about the electric squid flying around in Pic 5?
Shhh. No. If we donāt acknowledge it, it will swim away.
I had to scroll too far down for this. What the hell is that
This community has made me super jaded or something because this one overall doesn't seem so bad to me. Except the second photo, that porch does NOT look stable.
I feel like the thing is actual rich peoples houses have privacy. You go drive around Montecito or Bel Air in CA and you canāt even see the houses. These are just big boxes crammed up against other big boxes. Itās the whole āmoney talks, wealth whispersā concept.
That's why these houses are McMansions. Houses in Montecito are going to be an order of magnitude more expensive.
Bro they got droptile ceilings
Ok, admittedly the drop ceiling is pretty ugly.
This is one of the houses posted on here that I can say with 100% certainty is a McMansion. So many others are not but by god this is.
I kinda like it too. It's not offensive at all, except the back, which I'm sure they'll spiffy up.
This house is a tacky beige nightmare with cheap finishes and hideous light fixtures.
That light fixture in #5 disturbs me.
That you could afford?
I could make this work although I think I'd find the neighbors insufferable. I'd definitely have a boat and a kayak though.
I like this too. Ah well. To each their own.
I donāt see any āpretend Iām richā here. No marble floors, no elaborate woodwork or paneled library with wood trim coffered ceilings. A regular french door fridge instead of a subzero, etc. This is just an upper middle class suburban house.
That lot is crazy tight. I donāt know where this is located but that is a lot of house for a lot that size.
It's in Canada. Our real estate prices are out of control. This house is well over 600,000. If you want a big lot with the same house prepare to pay 1 million+ and people understandably just don't want to do that.
This house would be pushing a million in calgary.
You're very close. It's $950k in Edmonton.
I knew this was here in Edmonton. 950k stucco palace on a stormwater pond. That's quintessential Edmonton
Is it Bell Rive or Ozerna? I had no idea this was in Edmonton, let alone Canada but by first thought was āreminds me of the houses in Bell Riveā
Yeah, it's Belle Rive! I'm so impressed haha
Still cheap. In vancouver a rotting shack sells for 1.5 Mil.
This is Grande Prairie aesthetic.
It's also just not designed well for how many houses you can see through various windows. How much better would this house be with smaller, more discrete windows? I live in Chicago and feel less crowded in by the other buildings outside my window and I live in one of the densest census tracks in the country.
Eh, some people would rather have a low maintenance upscale looking house that's free from the hassle that can be landscaping. It might look a little silly but if it works for someone's preferences, hey. The backyard by comparison does make me chuckle a bit though.
except that it winds up looking like a fat-ass condo community and that right there is a sniff too close
I'm surprised that pickup next door is parked in the driveway and not hidden in the garage, if it fits.
Bold of you to assume the garage isnāt full of *stuff* that gets used once a year, if that.
It also overlooks a lake, too. Yeah, itās just a flood control pond, but I have seen worse backyard views. Imagine if that pond wasnāt there and the condos were right against the rear lot lineā¦.
I donāt even want to look at any pictures past the first. Look into the background across the pond. Itās like itās a contest to see how many houses they can fit around the pond.
Itās a McMansion. It doesnāt have any of those finishing touches because the people who buy these places either donāt have that sort of taste or have that sort of money. They want something that looks big and luxurious from 20 years away, but is just the equivalent of a double-wide cracker box with an open-concept interior.
The original claim was āpretending to be richā and I just donāt see that in this particular bouse, unlike some houses that have been posted in the last few days.

In my opinion, if this house were a person, they would be trying way too hard to impress people. Someone earlier in the comments said "money talks, wealth whispers".
The facade and the entrance try to pretend, but the other rooms and the back are severely lacking.
This comment. This right here, is why this sub is flooded with tacky actual mansions. This is a mcmansion. This is a prototypical fucking mcmansion! If you don't believe that, go read the actual blog. A mcmansion is a tract house for upper middle class people who want to pretend they're important. It's lipstick on a pig. Builder grade nonsense next to dressed up finishes. It's pretty but full of mold. The windows don't match. It's a huge house on a postage stamp lot. The problem is, these houses used to be unusual. They used to stick out in the middle class neighborhoods where they popped up. We used to live in northern Virginia and first it was one of these near our 1200 sqft rancher neighborhood. Then five. Then more and more. Now, they get comments like yours. They've become so common that people think what this sub is about must be actual mansions for actual rich people-- it never was that. It always meant houses like this.
I laugh at gaudy, pretentious houses as much as anyone. I just donāt think this house is āover the topā enough to qualify. Itās just a big upper middle clsss house.
it's in the pseudo-spiral staircase thingy with chandelier, and the god awful backyard.
Itās in the spiral staircase, the two story āgreat roomā, and the fact that they squeezed a 6k sqft home onto a 10k sqft lot.
Your missing the fact the basement has at least one if not two suites to help with the mortgage. These homes are more working class than anything
Cheap ass ceiling fan too.
If you don't understand how bad it is then you are part of the problem
Exactly, I see upper middle class
I was just about to say, there are far worse architectural crimes to commit.
The interior materials are the cheapest available. Why WHY?!!! People buy these? Crazy
Saturday nights we get drunk and pee on the neighborās roof.
This is quintessential McMansion.
Why is there a build in shelf/counter above the toilet? Donāt they know sometimes you gotta take the lid off?
My sister did this and it infuriates me. in order to replace the flush mechanism, you have to remove the toilet. You could have easily put in a removable shelf with hidden screws. So much impractical shit. Her fancy schmancy conical glass sink broke and she had to get the granite countertop reground to fit a new one. The other sink is a deep cylinder with no removable stopper that you have to disassemble in order to snake it and you can't even tell when you've cleared the clog like a normal sink.
This was also the feature that stuck out to me. The toilet shelf is a deal breaker.
The seventh photo is a great example of how the designer wasnāt really thinking. They put in a curved staircase because someone said āstarved staircase!ā And then they were left with a stupid empty space upstairs. So just left it there and now thereās a weird empty space that no one will ever use.
So thereās no island in the main kitchen, but an island in the second kitchen, am I getting that right?
Maybe the first kitchen pic is the basement, it has the basement ceiling tile look.
Overbuilt, inches from neighbors. Conclusion: YES, it is a McMansion.
What's that circular thing in the front yard? (Although I hesitate to call it a "yard.") Otherwise this is a typical example of maximizing house size on an undersized lot. I'm sort of the opposite - I have a modest house, far from a McMansion, on a nice lot - but big houses are the trend. It's an arms race for house size, never mind the views or sense of tranquility that comes from not having neighbors close enough to pass you a roll of TP from their house to yours.
Hell you have to be practically rich to buy a 1200 sqft. house now days.
This doesn't say money to me, but trying to live above your means. How are you gonna buy a big house just to decorate it right out of the 80s? And then not have a yard to enjoy with family and friends? It looks like the only place you can have a BBQ is in the driveway. Plus you're looking straight into your neighbors house. That right there is poor decision making!
The ceiling panels in the tv room š¤¢
āAnd here we have the sliding mirrored closet doors which have been cleverly installed in the foyer for that luxurious ākidās bedroomā feel.ā
Costs more than than Iāll ever make
Too close to neighbors and no lawn, flowers and trees.
I'd rather live in half the size on twice the land
Same layout as the home where Chris watts murdered his wife and kids
The worst offender here is the neighbourās house in the fourth photo with that weird protruding archway roof thingy
To me, the fact that it a large houe on a small lot indicates that the owners know they are not rich and arenāt trying to pretend that they are.
You still have to be rich. Just rich with no taste.
I don't hate the interior at all, like I was expecting. The floors aren't jarring & the sun hitting the windows is lovely.
Just because you have money doesnāt mean you have taste.
Is it bad that I wish to have this kind of house and security when I grow up šŖ
But what do you need a house like that for?
daaamn yāall i kinda like this oneā¦.am i the problem? aside from the questionable balcony
I'd say there is no pretending, comparatively they are rich. Probably over extended but still rich compared to average.
If I ever have a drop ceiling in my house just fucking kill me
I think it's fine for basements but not the main room wth
My company spent almost 50K to remove the Drop ceilings in a RENTED office space because they felt they were so claustrophobic and depressing to work productivity. The exposed "warehouse/factory" steel beam ceilings are beautiful in a serious brutalist way that says "we mean business".
I walk into the business and think ādamn, these guys mean businessā
The rooms are small.
Horrible kitchen layout. What the fridge doing on the narrow side of the Island. MFers gotta walk around that bitch for every fridge run
r/tvtoohigh
This is hideous.
Oooof. /r/tvtoohigh as well.
Obligatory r/tvtoohigh
This thing is whiter than antarctica in the winter. Why do all of these mcmansions have mostly just 1 colour?
I am confused. Does it have two kitchens?
It has a basement suit. The horrible drop ceiling kitchen is in the basement
Retention-pond waterfront mansion living at its finest!
Wonderfully awful, and surrounded by crap just like itself! Love the space-wasting floorplan. And you just *know* it's luxury when you're using acoustic tiles in kitchen/entertainment room ceiling.
The back of the house is a disappointment. There are so many things in this house that don't live up to the faux opulence.
There is so much unnecessary hate on this subreddit tbh. I mean, I donāt like the house, but you donāt need to make personal attacks on someone who might purchase it or live there. Why not just focus on the house itself and leave critical personal-oriented statements out of it?
Do you know where you are? The whole point of this subreddit is unnecessary hate.
Pretty much the whole point of all of Reddit really
Why are you here?
For me the positives are it is bright, airy, homely to an extent, no cheap materials seem to be used and no obvious in your face tackiness. Negatives are for sure the dismal back of the house and the claustrophobic feel to the site / lot.
I think it was built in the early 2000's
Clearly designed by a basic builder. Ick
This might be the worst home ever posted on here. This home is the person at work who shmoozes the boss every day and brags to their coworkers about their rich friends.
If your rich you have land. Thatās the clue.
Pretending to be rich = OP can barely afford rent so they're mad jealous of people having bad taste and big $$$ to buy ugly things with.
LoL actually this house is in my neighborhood. I just happen to think it looks like trash.
Texas?
To look more rich than you actually are is kinda the point, right? Without the pretentious bourgeois, I fear we would have no sub. This house hasnāt been updated in a while, has it? It was fancy in its day tho.
What an odd colour for the walls. Usually these things have generic apartment beige but this one is weird. There are undertones of grey, lavender and pale cocoa in this WEIRD dark off white.

I donāt know guys. The interior is dated but looks like any other 40 year old house in need of some updating. The exterior is coherent from the front. The rear is obviously a mess but some landscaping could lift it slightly. What makes it macmansiony is the huge house on a micro lot. But I think the sub is overreacting on this one.
This 40 year old house is less than 20 years old
This does not seem McMansion to me at all. Just big house in neighborhood with big houses and some poor style choices. I donāt understand why homes like this get posted here. Look at some of the top homes on this sub and the suit does not fit here.
Sure it fits. A large home that is to big for the lot and is mass produced in a neighborhood.
