Hell fucking yes an island glass block fireplace. Patrick Bateman would be proud.

Rugs on carpeting is also a choice look.

$1.1M for drop tile ceiling and fluorescent lighting!

Also, is that a some type of war horn above the fire place? doot doot

Well that glass fireplace took their entire budget...

At least they are consistent with rugs on carpeting in the basement. If only the island off glass dropped into the basement you would have something.

I'm rooting for that basement to get flooded.

Make some coffee, turn on some elegant classical music, and creepily watch your wife bathing in the tub. All within the confines of your master bedroom!

Oh, and is that a dishwasher?!?!

This bathroom makes no sense!

The Maryland house (with the arched bathroom tile ceiling that makes it look like a Romanesque subway tunnel) is 2010. Most of the McMansion Hell houses seem to be 2000s.

There's a little subdivision right down the street from my house that got going right before the bubble burst. They built two McMansions that looked to be of decent quality and then the money must have run out. These two houses sat there oddly in the middle of a rubble strewn field for several years until building started again. When it did you could see that ambitions for the project had been scaled way back. The new homes they built got slapped up quick and cheap. So now these two McMansions are sitting oddly amongst a bunch of clearly inferior homes. It's a very strange looking Chicago block.

I thought that was going to be an orthodox jewish subdivision with a big gate to keep the goy out

Yeah. There may be some Orthodox Jews in there. I'm not sure. I don't think it's gated though. I believe they created a new street. There's an Orthodox enclave right behind it that is "enclosed" by an eruv.

Lots of jealousy in this thread. Rich people can afford to have poorly thought out houses.

Yup. Plus most of the complaints aren't valid. I like the separated sinks.
