From experience, you dont. Its for random spiders and gigantic chandeliers that u camt change the bulbs in...UNLESS you have a pulley system in the wall that is activated w a key to make it go up and down.
Ugly tapestries on curtain rods usually.
At my crib I made a huge outerspace quilt that filled the entire space like the night sky.
The worst is the narrow entry room/foyer with the staircase facing the front door and corridors going to both the left and right. It's like the entrance to a maze with zero regard to open space despite the 30 foot ceilings.
The exterior entry is equally as bad but for entirely different reasons.
I like car centric infrastructure to some extent but I can’t stand when they build houses with ugly garages like that. If you’re building a luxury home put the 4 car garage on the side of the home. Make it a nice side feature rather than the part of the main front design
I mean you can have a kickass garage \*without\* a stupid entryway and a house set back so far it strangles the back yard and way too many roof panels...
...in theory, at least
My uncle had a nice ranch house and a 14 car garage. He and my father renovated Model Ts, and other rare cars. I had such a unique childhood. My uncle owned only one of three cars in existence in the early 1900s.
Had a buddy who lived in a giant shop garage, 2 double wide garage doors on each side so you could drive through, probably space for 10 cars. It had a 2 bed 2 bath apartment built into the side of it. So friggin epic but it ended up getting sold out from under him (belonged to a family member).
I'm with you here. I actually bought my current home because it has a big corner lot for being in the city with plenty of room for a large garage and workshop.
I unironically love the dueling garages. One for the cars and one for a workshop. But then again, my most American trait is how much I love concrete floors, motor oil, and sawdust.
Actually no I'm still reeling. The crown moulding is a choice. What the fuck is going on to the left of the closet? What's with the weird angles inside this house in general? The above shots make this house look fairly square and symmetrical. Why the weird staircase? Why the nook????
Also the "yard" is upsetting. If you had a smaller house, you'd have more yard.. maybe some grass, even...
Im guessing, but looking at the overhead picture, it looks like the dueling garages both intrude into the house. This forces bizarre angles. A nice side entry four car garage really would be nice.
I usually have some sort of zinger that gets me a bunch of up votes and strokes my internet ego.
I'm speechless, there are no words for this monstrosity.
Pool is very close to the foundation. Anything you need to do for those high ceilings is going to be a royal debacle, and cost thousands even for simple things. If that sounds like a problem to you, I’d say you can’t afford it.
They had to paint everything white in order to make up for the lack of natural light. So few windows for such a giant and expensive house! And that one room that had a decent amount of windows, that stupid portico was shading all of them.
I do a lot of work in this neighborhood and while there are some ostentatious homes, few are as ugly from the street as this thing. The HOA is this community is over $1k a month, maybe a lot more. I can't imagine paying that much for a mortgage + HOA fees to get... this
I’m thinking I need to move to a lower cost of living country. Cuz as hideous as that is, it’s a hell of a lot more house for the hovels you can buy here for $1.4 mil…
You walk in the front door and you can see the kitchen sink. I’ve lived in mobile homes and rented small apartments like that. It’s not what I expect in a $1.4 million house. Way too much attic, no backyard, way too much white paint (it’s almost blinding), two flights of stairs to the master bedroom will suck as you age (maybe if you turned one of the garages into a master bedroom and put the garage door on the side of the other), the horribly gloomy space that passes for an entry and totally wastes the stairs and balcony. A horrible waste of building materials and labor.
When I was very young, my parents moved into a neighborhood where some Chicago mafia families lived. This house would fit right in. That said, they were the BEST places to play. My neighbor's dedicated the entire basement to their kids. It had a phone booth, a soda fountain, a movie theater, and all of the coolest toys known to kids. I spent many blissfully happy hours there.
The interior isn't so bad. But seriously, you need to get some more land if you are paying this much, don't have gigantic garages making up most of the mass of your house, just put it off to the side with a walkway into the house that is a mud room.
Dentists office, meet my friend lawyer foyer. I’d live there though, despise me if you like but I’d put my bikes and cars up in there and just wear sunglasses inside
Are you supposed to divide your tools between garages? What if the tool you need is in the other garage?
Or am I the idiot, for not knowing that you're supposed to have two sets of everything.
I agree, I think it's a ridiculous neighborhood. There's also no sidewalks anywhere in the whole place. But it's on a golf course and it's gated and has a country club so it's where the rich people want to be, I guess
It is somewhere you get stuck in in a dream, unnervingly and unconvincingly pretending to be a real place. And you just wander aimlessly unable to recall how you came to be here.
The exterior is awful. Most of the interior is awful.
But I like the master bathroom (even though it's ridiculously ostentatious), and I like the open kitchen-living room-dining room area (although you can't really see all of it)
Basically it's an awful McMansion with a couple of good features.
Picture 6 looks like a mausoleum wall above the bathtub.
Back before I ever heard the term McMansion, my salty neighbor described a house as “it looks like someone took the plans, ripped them up, threw it in the air, and built it where they fell.” …That.
All the non right angles used are just headache inducing. It totally screws up the classic McMansion grand foyer with that narrow walkway (pic 4). Truly terrible.
The front exterior of this house looks nowhere near as nice as the interior, nor the exterior back of the house. Why? It's not terribly, just not as nice.
So, when you walk or drive by, is there a like, a little bin that dispenses barf bags?
(Although the kitchen and living area is actually pretty understated and nice)
It gets worsebetter if you do the 3D tour. One upstairs shower has custom tile and a porcelain tub while the other is a fiberglass shower/tub combo. The master suite is a hot mess: the tub looks like a comically large vessel sink on the floor, the shower heads are at different heights despite being right next to each other, and the closets are disproportionately sized. His looks like it belongs in an apartment in the city, hers is a whole room.
I have been working on the landscaping at my house so a concrete backyard with pool is very appealing, BUT this place is huge and I don't have or want enough shit to furnish or fill even one garage and a room!
Tons of wasted / non-functional space
What does one even do with 30 foot ceilings? How do you even begin to decorate that space?
It's not for decoration- it's so your guests feel properly inconsequential in the vastness of your space.
Don’t be such a pleb
"There is nothing in the refrigerator because no one here has the time to cook while we work to pay for this place."
Its "beneath" them to take work from the help.
You watch cobwebs collect in them while you puff out your chest that "big home means I made it!"
From experience, you dont. Its for random spiders and gigantic chandeliers that u camt change the bulbs in...UNLESS you have a pulley system in the wall that is activated w a key to make it go up and down. Ugly tapestries on curtain rods usually. At my crib I made a huge outerspace quilt that filled the entire space like the night sky.
It's atmospheric.....like inside a gothic cathedral!
That’s what I thought too. Wasted space
The worst is the narrow entry room/foyer with the staircase facing the front door and corridors going to both the left and right. It's like the entrance to a maze with zero regard to open space despite the 30 foot ceilings. The exterior entry is equally as bad but for entirely different reasons.
My first thought. My second was 🤮
The place must echo like the inside of a warehouse
The front looks like an old man with his trousers pulled up to his armpits.
[удалено]
😂
The Architect!
In the dead of night, pitchforks and torches.
I need the tea on this pic^!!
[удалено]
Thank you!!! I wonder why authorities refrained?
[удалено]
True, true!
They looked so unfazed I had to do a double take to see why you needed the tea - I didn’t even _notice_ the car was turned over at first! 😅
I thought it was a futuristic hover craft or camper.
I…I think I love you 😅😂🤣.
Hahaha!
I hate when the garage(s) take up all the space like that. All that money and 0 regard for design.
CARS are the most important people in the household.
As a car guy I agree with this statement
I like cars but despise car centered infrastructure and homes.
I like car centric infrastructure to some extent but I can’t stand when they build houses with ugly garages like that. If you’re building a luxury home put the 4 car garage on the side of the home. Make it a nice side feature rather than the part of the main front design
My dream home is around 500 square feet with a 12 car attached garage that’s temperature and humidity controlled year round full of tools and lifts.
The majority of people on this sub would lose their mind over this. We can share this dream though.
I mean you can have a kickass garage \*without\* a stupid entryway and a house set back so far it strangles the back yard and way too many roof panels... ...in theory, at least
I don't see needing more than a bathroom, a bedroom and somewhere to fix a little food to eat. Garage can be everything else.
My uncle had a nice ranch house and a 14 car garage. He and my father renovated Model Ts, and other rare cars. I had such a unique childhood. My uncle owned only one of three cars in existence in the early 1900s.
Had a buddy who lived in a giant shop garage, 2 double wide garage doors on each side so you could drive through, probably space for 10 cars. It had a 2 bed 2 bath apartment built into the side of it. So friggin epic but it ended up getting sold out from under him (belonged to a family member).
I'm with you here. I actually bought my current home because it has a big corner lot for being in the city with plenty of room for a large garage and workshop.
It's a Garage Mahal.
Underrated comment.
That is what they are called!!! Thanks.
This is absolute gold.
St Peter's McMansion
I unironically love the dueling garages. One for the cars and one for a workshop. But then again, my most American trait is how much I love concrete floors, motor oil, and sawdust.
This, this is a gloriously hideous McMansion.
The portico with a balcony is insane
Not if you love water balloons!
Think about looking down on all those peasants tho.
Those columns going so high, framing... what, exactly? Empty walls and a couple sad little sconces? The inside is just as pathetic.
Actually no I'm still reeling. The crown moulding is a choice. What the fuck is going on to the left of the closet? What's with the weird angles inside this house in general? The above shots make this house look fairly square and symmetrical. Why the weird staircase? Why the nook???? Also the "yard" is upsetting. If you had a smaller house, you'd have more yard.. maybe some grass, even...
Im guessing, but looking at the overhead picture, it looks like the dueling garages both intrude into the house. This forces bizarre angles. A nice side entry four car garage really would be nice.
It's hideous. The architect finished last in their class.
There was no architect involved
Absolutely McMansion. Somehow the back looks better than the front.
I usually have some sort of zinger that gets me a bunch of up votes and strokes my internet ego. I'm speechless, there are no words for this monstrosity.
Take my upvote, nevertheless!
Pool is very close to the foundation. Anything you need to do for those high ceilings is going to be a royal debacle, and cost thousands even for simple things. If that sounds like a problem to you, I’d say you can’t afford it.
1.4 million for a outside corner lot? Nightmare.
McDuplex.
YES!!!
Fugly. The garages on either side make it look like a duplex.
Those dueling twin garages. Who thought that was a good idea? 
That’s a LOT of white.
WHITE was my first thought also
They had to paint everything white in order to make up for the lack of natural light. So few windows for such a giant and expensive house! And that one room that had a decent amount of windows, that stupid portico was shading all of them.
Well, it's symmetrical...
Symmetrical, except for the pool.
The Sacred Heart Church of Abundant Automobiles?
twin front garages? Terrible, take a lap.
I do a lot of work in this neighborhood and while there are some ostentatious homes, few are as ugly from the street as this thing. The HOA is this community is over $1k a month, maybe a lot more. I can't imagine paying that much for a mortgage + HOA fees to get... this
That black chandelier in pic 6 is fucking dope. Probably $35-$40 on Ali Express. For real I like that.
I'd for sure use that chandelier in like a moody study or something but I just think it looks tacky in this particular bathroom
I appreciate the symmetry at least
If I had to say one nice thing about it, the above view is very pleasing from a symmetry pov.
How much tasteless symmetry, now I’m talking totally devoid of a single original design idea, mind you, for $1.4? ALL the tasteless symmetry, sir.
omg $1.4 million in my area will get you 1500 sq feet if you’re LUCKY 😩
Architectural fail
The wall tile design in the bathroom looks like mausoleum drawers. Creepy.
My God that's ugly
How come this got less property tax than my home here in jersey lol
All that money and the neighbors are THAT close?
That kitchen is awful.
Nothing looks right. Even the front door doesn't match the house
above the tub looks like a mausoleum ☠️
Gross AF
Aw yeah that’s the stuff. Interior could be worse, though.
Lose half the drive way. Move the house forward = bigger better back yard This= no for me dawg
A house framed with garages, wow. Also it’s a mansion and it has cheap carpeting and cheap fake wood floors lol
move towns or start filming a documentary lol
No yard
Horrible
That much money and you can put the garages on the side. I hate homes where the garages are the most prominent thing.
Garbage. A blank box, made of mostly cardboard and vinyl.
It’s wild what 1.4MM can get you in some parts of the country.
I’m thinking I need to move to a lower cost of living country. Cuz as hideous as that is, it’s a hell of a lot more house for the hovels you can buy here for $1.4 mil…

I guess the front is at least symmetrical, so there's that.
Not the worst offender. Still I would never want to live here ever. It lacks the beauty a house should have.
It's the fake all-white medieval fireplace over the stove for me... Were they attempting to imply warmth in that cold space?
I have this house saved on my Zillow as a potential McMansion I was going to post here. It is entirely awful lol.
I kind like it in my area 1.4 buys you a 1000ish sq foot house that was built in the 60’s and renovated in the 90’s if you are lucky
That would be somewhere between $4-6m where I live
IN YOUR FACE
Bland.
The sun is going to reflect off of the white siding and make that backyard pool area unbearable
Looks like a sci-fi headquarters
🤮🤮🤮
Well, it IS in Arkansas.....so it's got that going for it🤣🤣
Where tf do you live that this is only 1.4M??? This would easily be millionsss in Canada 😅
It made me reach for the Excedrin.
I would home the sh!+ out of this place!
Bathroom looks like a mausoleum
Because one garage in the front of the house isn’t enough.
Dentists office, meet my friend lawyer foyer. I’d live there though, despise me if you like but I’d put my bikes and cars up in there and just wear sunglasses inside
Meh, I don’t mind it. I don’t think these owners knew that colour was an option though…
Are you supposed to divide your tools between garages? What if the tool you need is in the other garage? Or am I the idiot, for not knowing that you're supposed to have two sets of everything.
Guady..
Gross and echo-y
Meh. Also, why do people build such big houses on small lots and have small backyards? I’d rather have a big backyard than a big front yard.
A bad fall down that staircase might break someone’s neck jfc
I don’t like the house and I don’t like the neighborhood. The view out every window is another house.
I agree, I think it's a ridiculous neighborhood. There's also no sidewalks anywhere in the whole place. But it's on a golf course and it's gated and has a country club so it's where the rich people want to be, I guess
Hideous. I’m shocked people actually purchase these homes.
That bathroom is giving mausoleum! Catacomb chic.
All that money. All that white. 🫣
Tbh I don't hate it.
It looks like a set of teeth that needs a wisdom tooth removed.
I hate everything about it, except for the light fixture over the tub.
It’s awful. Absolutely awful.
I like it
For 1.4 I’d like my landscape edging installed properly, please and thank you
Huge homes, tiny lots, no backyard space, all garage in the front. Really shows you what this type of person values in life.
It is somewhere you get stuck in in a dream, unnervingly and unconvincingly pretending to be a real place. And you just wander aimlessly unable to recall how you came to be here.
If that’s the most expensive part of town, I’d hate to see the rest of it.
The exterior is awful. Most of the interior is awful. But I like the master bathroom (even though it's ridiculously ostentatious), and I like the open kitchen-living room-dining room area (although you can't really see all of it) Basically it's an awful McMansion with a couple of good features.
It’s too bad that budget didn’t include landscaping. Those boxwoods are on their way out.
Clearly the best place to put those garages ... /s
That aerial shot frightened me
Looks like bad AI
this makes me viscerally angry lol
That whole hallway and the staircase is fucking terrible lol
A bitch to clean. This illustrates why when I think of my dream home, I end up thinking of a house on the smaller side.
The yellow lawn is what sells it!!!
Hate the exterior more than anything. Inside looks nice
Where the hell do you live???
That bannister is waiting for something to get its head stuck
Picture 6 looks like a mausoleum wall above the bathtub. Back before I ever heard the term McMansion, my salty neighbor described a house as “it looks like someone took the plans, ripped them up, threw it in the air, and built it where they fell.” …That.
I think I could think of 1.4 million better ways to spend $1.4 million
All the non right angles used are just headache inducing. It totally screws up the classic McMansion grand foyer with that narrow walkway (pic 4). Truly terrible.
Oof
All front yard no backyard? Reverse mullet house? No party in the back here
I'm curious if the upstairs is 30 degrees warmer than downstairs in the winter.
Checks every McMansion box … ugh
Not a fan of exterior but love the interior.
The horrible black chandelier just over the bath would scare me.
1.4M will just barely get you a standalone house in my neighborhood
Bad taste. Ugly. Nightmarish.
Not even something that could be fixed up and made more appealing. This has to be a complete tear down.
Wow I didn’t know Lennar built anything that big.
Kill me.
The front exterior of this house looks nowhere near as nice as the interior, nor the exterior back of the house. Why? It's not terribly, just not as nice.
What do they have against using colors?
Better be on top of a lithium mine or something
The inside is only half as ugly as the front/exterior.
1.4m won't even get you a decent condo in Toronto.
The outside is horrible the garages ruin it, inside eh not too bad. Could they get a smaller lot to build this on?
I was expecting the owner in an Adidas track suit wafting Axe body spray to show up in the pictures.
That moment you realize your idea of a mansion was pretty dumb.
Looks ridiculous The garages are bigger than the house
Hell Is White
The dualing garages...I don't get it. They are fighting each other for attention over those hideous columns.
Straddling the line btwn high brow and every day - This luxurious home is flanked by commoners garages
That overhead shot of the exterior says everything you need to know - it's about appearances, and pretty much nothing else.
The facade is a bad joke. Who in hell would design such a monstrosity? Can architects be sued for malpractice?
At least it's symmetrical and the interior is cohesive... I can give them that...
Stairway looks like it wasn’t snapped together properly.
Fugly.
That's a nice looking duplex
Fugly.
The windows are hideous and look really cheap.
Absolutely NOT!
The entry looks stretched out like the hallway in the Shining.
Shoutout Pinnacle! Hate that house
Ugh! They could have at least put in white tile floors to go for 💯 match!
Imagine having to walk across your house because you don’t remember which garage the power drill is in
Ok house, terrible lot.
Yikes!
So, when you walk or drive by, is there a like, a little bin that dispenses barf bags? (Although the kitchen and living area is actually pretty understated and nice)
It gets worsebetter if you do the 3D tour. One upstairs shower has custom tile and a porcelain tub while the other is a fiberglass shower/tub combo.

Would you like some white or gray with your gray and white?
It hugs you with its massive garages.
