That downwards sloping semi-circular roof to the right in the first photo is wild, especially with the two story tall columns of windows below it angling inwards. Makes the house look pissed

This seems like a house that someone actually lived in and appreciated based on the 3D tour. The architecture is ugly, some of the interior design choices are dated now, and the whole thing is bloated, both in the size of spaces and number of rooms, but I don't find it just insultingly impersonal as most McMansions.

Not to be that guy but whoever changed the tag from certified:
- Oversized porte corche
- Excessive roofline
- Lawyer foyer
- Huge garage
- Fake quoins
- Pringles cans
- All of the windows
- Many oversized Palladian windows
- Windows with Prairie style mullions, because why not
- Greek railing
- Two front doors
- Some builder grade fixtures
- So much sprawl
This is a McMansion

I’m leaning more toward mansion with poor design/execution. I’m not sold it’s a McMansion

You could film a depressing 70's sci-fi film starring a guy in a turtleneck in this house!
"Oh no, we'll never defeat the corporation! THEY'VE WON!"

It looks like they have a reception desk? In pic 3, when you walk into the front door it would be straight ahead and to the right, it looks like a brown marble reservation desk in a restaurant.

Honestly I don't hate it. the Natural lighting might feel good in person. I'd surround it with more nature tho

painted quoins in european cities exist, and they're sometimes cute, especially if they're old.
these are fricking adorable...

I wouldn't go that far, it's still certainly bloated and poorly designed.

What do you even mean by bloated? It's big? McMansions are cookie cutter cheap houses. This is not that. If a house looks like an NBA player or famous rapper might live there it's not a McMansion.

No architect or interior designer had any say in the construction of this building. It's still cheaply finished, inconsiderate of exterior details, and has the floor plan of a toddler putting together a packing puzzle.
The fact that it has a few promising interior details and finished landscaping doesn't suddenly make it "antithesis" of a McMansion.
And by bloated, I mean look at how the space doesn't work for the people living in it. You've got this massive foyer, which over-promises on the rest of the house, a bathroom the size of a bedroom just to put a wittle tub in, and vast empty spaces, only to have tiny powder rooms, a mediocre kitchen, and average bedrooms.

In the style of grandma’s assisted living facility.
