The term McMansion has no meaning on this bort. Yes, the house in op is ugly as shit. But was it mass produced? Obviously not. It is a mansion not a McMansion. It's also just a piece of shit.

>It is a mansion not a McMansion

A McMansion connotes an architectural failure that occupies a disproportionate amount of square footage of the lot it's placed on.

That is a McMansion. Also for the record that is the Northgate Forest. It's absolutely a mass-produced house with the target market being proles with more money than sense who think they have maed it if they have a 6000+ sq ft wife and a lexis.

The blurb the RE agent wrote is a lie. "Custom" might be like "here's the ugly fucking floor plan, do you want a terrazzo backsplash or subway tile?"

There is no backyard.

Who is this house supposed to impress? No one who matters will be impressed you live in an unincorporated area an absurd drive away from downtown in a McMansion that covers like 95% of the lot.

Imagine walking into that place with bare lofted ceilings because after buying that place for that price you can't afford to buy any furniture or art to cover the empty spaces.

It's ghastly.

Price just keeps dropping in value, like $2k/month in taxes & HOA, wtf do you need 6 bathrooms for? Like a different one to use each day of the week? You'd have to have net worth north of $20mn to make this work, otherwise just invest in stocks and get smthn reasonable and not in a place with tanking prices
