50 States of McMansion Hell: Westchester County, New York

mcmansionhell:

Hello Friends! Sorry this post is so belated – between traveling to New York and Columbus as well as midterms, it’s been a rough two weeks for me. Luckily, the worst seems to be over. 

Speaking of the worst…

This stunning (and I mean stunning) 1990 house, boasting 4 bedrooms and 5.5 baths tops out at around 5,500 square feet. It can be all yours for around $2 million USD! I hope you like white, because that’s what most of this house is.

Lawyer Foyer

Sometimes I was mean to my little sister, but then she got bigger than me and I stopped. Sorry sis.

Kitchen

A lot of this blog is based off of my personal experiences, including the HOA joke – there was a neighborhood near where I grew up in North Carolina that banned basketballs. It wasn’t until I got much, much older that I understood why.

(Insert Chain Hang Low joke)

Living Room

It’s astonishing to me that the people who built this house managed to cut so many corners that it is expressed in the architecture of every room. 

Master Bedroom

Me, (good, pure): the padding is great for acoustics! 

Master Bath

If anyone ever tells you that you need to lose 40 pounds before a cocktail party, I hope you throw your chianti blend right in their caked on, Estee Laudered face.

Bedroom 2

Bathroom 2

Our final room of the week:

Bathroom 3

My other favorite thing is when people put signs in their house that say “KITCHEN” and “LAUNDRY”. 

Anyways, it’s time to wrap up our tour with our favorite part:

Rear Exterior

I spend all my time defending architects, I might as well take a crack at them every once in a while. 

That does it for New York, folks! Stay tuned for this weeks edition of Looking Around about American Foursquares and next Tuesday’s McMansion from my home state, North Carolina! Have a great weekend.
