Idk… I kinda dig it
it’s Thursday Design Appreciation. “On Thursdays we celebrate the opposite: good suburban architectural design.”
Oh! Well that makes me feel better for appreciating it lol
Someday I’ll use my medications and I’ll be able to read an entire title
I mean, it’s pretty far from the best MCM I’ve ever seen, but the great room is pretty nice. The bedrooms really would have benefitted from floor to ceiling windows and the bathrooms are actively hideous. Not sure I’d want to live in Peoria either, but the price is reasonable.
Also as an aside, I don’t think you can count 1960s MCMs as McMansions. I associate the term with those houses built in the mid-2000s that are 6500 sq ft with four car garages but are built so cheaply that the walls shake if someone slams the front door.

Understood and I apologize if I violated protocol. This came up in /all and I am both an MCM owner and enthusiast, so I felt the need to say something. I’ll still stand by my observations - we tend to be Eichler folks out here but I love everything from Frank Lloyd Wright to the Starship Enterprise. I categorically withdraw the comment about it not being a McMansion, though, since that was not its intent.
I assume the “design appreciation” in the title means this is actually nice, not a hellish McMansion.
Other than the carpet usage (if I had the means to buy this place I assume I’d have the means to tear out the carpet and put in hardwood or tile) I quite like this. It seems to be matched to the landscape reasonably well. I’d hate to maintain it, though.

I don’t see anything wrong with this. It’s just a large “modern” style house. This would go for 1.5-2 mil in my market.
“Thursday Design Appreciation” means that the house posted is meant to be an actually good house. But only on thursdays.
Oh TIL, sorry. I thought it was sarcastic.
