I'm not sure if this is a McMansion per se, but I think it's very....ostentatious. Lmao. I don't like it!!

It's from ZillowGoneWild!

It's obviously a McCastle.

It's not as bad as some, but very harsh and dominating. It needs more plants, maybe some ivy or a bougainvillea growing against the wall.

Enough money for turrets, but not enough for archers.

It definitely isn't a McMansion.

The post says 'it was once “rumored to have been an exclusive gentlemen's club”', and it seems like it being really old explains a lot of the quirks. The interior seems pretty boring and normal, it's only the merlons on the crenellations (yes, I looked those up) that make it look unusual.

I have no sense of the internal architecture, and I wish I did. It seems to have 5 different entrances though! The main double-doors on the balcony out front, 2 front doors below that, and 2 rear entrances, one at ground level and one up a staircase.

Also, am I wrong, or does $1.2m for a 8 bedroom, 4 bathroom house in San Francisco seem absurdly cheap?

(Please set language to English when posting AND commenting!)

A Community about large, cheaply built, suburban homes with design flaws and a lack of architectural integrity also known as “McMansions.” On Thursdays we celebrate the opposite: good suburban architectural design.

Based off the famous subreddit r/mcmansionhell, we will essentially do all the same here, as is over there. Please do your best and crosspost if you need too!

We need mods!! Please please help!

A Short Guide

Friends at c/badrealestate!

Here are the rules:

  1. Posts can be about ugly houses in general
  2. Post appropriately and with correct tags WITHIN the title so it is easy to search. -->Tags: "Thursday Design Appreciation" or "HouseTDA", "Just Ugly", "Shitpost", "Certified McMansion™", "Discussion/Debate", and "Interior" are available.
  3. All post subjects must be single family homes -->Only post suburban, single family homes. No apartments or duplexes, etc. The community is focused on specifically traditional suburban architecture.
  4. Don't post addresses or other easily identifiable information unless it is publicly listed. -->Keep the information about the property you are posting basic and general. However, if the home is listed on a public website you are permitted to post a link to the public listing.
  5. Direct Images Only, no links please. -->Post correctly cropped, direct images and not links to websites. Image hosting links, such as Imgur, are an exception, but we still prefer a direct image. Zillow house page, for example, is ok if it directly links to the photos and such.
  6. No Spam -->No posting an excessive amount in a row on the same day or posting the same comment on several posts at once. We have seen it, we just didn't react to it. Please understand that.
  7. No Screenshots -->Crop your photos correctly.
  8. Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.
