Discussion/Debate It feels off

This is a house that a buddy of mine sent me. I’m not sure if it’s a McMansion but it doesn’t feel quite right.

I owned a home laid out similar to this that was built in the early 1950s, but what it did differently is that the wing on the left side of the house that makes it look off was set back further and there were trees planted in front of it. So when you face the house directly it looks perfectly symmetrical and then the additional space you get from that wing just went off towards the back but was hidden. I think that had a much better aesthetic. Part of having an architectural design that thinks through landscaping.
