    So Fucking What

    Why do people refer to a 3-4000 sq. ft. home as a "Mansion"? So lame!

    So this weekend I was invited to a "Mansion Party"... When I arrived it was more like a "Thats a pretty good sized home party"!
    Ok... for all you people who throw around the term "Mansion" loosely... let me clarify for you. A 4 bedroom, 3500 sq ft house is not a mansion unless its in Manhattan or someplace similar! Lets get this straight ok. If the average Joe doesn't say "Oh my god this house is fucking HUGE!" when they arrive, its not a mansion. Please stop getting people's hopes up!

      Yeah I definately wouldn't classify that as a mansion, but it is indeed a nice home....

          Completely agree. The only time I'd say "Mansion" would work for a home that size is if it's on 3 acres, a huge pool, basketball courts, pool house, etc. But then your combined square footage would probably be about 10,000 so either way......

              That is a gorgeous home and used as an example. I would love to own that home.

                      top one is a Mansion, bottom one is a McMansion

                      and yes McMansion is the proper name for it, go look it up

                          I remember back in my RE days, that anything over 5000 sq ft was considered as a small mansion, or the beginning of the classification.

                              Depending on what they came from that might be a mansion.

                                      All I ask is that you don't invite me to a "Mansion Party" and I show up and can run around the entire outside of the house in under 8 seconds

                                              Ya that's maybe a $300,000 give or take house in Michigan depending on the area.

                                                      Mansions are over-rated. I have lived in one, 12,000+ SF and nothing but headaches and big bills. Give me 3000 well laid out SF any day of the week. I rather spend my $ on important things, like cock and whores. I mean coke.

                                                          Actually ... it's considered a mansion at 5000 ft. I believe.

                                                          We had a decent sized house in Western New York growing up and I remember the reason by Dad didn't put on an addition was because it would then be classified as a mansion and the already insane NY taxes would go even higher.

                                                                                                      A good friend of mine built a house with 11K sq ft but it was more for investment purposes. Because of where it is, he'll be able to sell it for double what he paid for it (and when you start in the millions, double's pretty darned good) when he moves after getting his kids out of the school. In fact, now he's looking at property up near me. I'm about to make my RE agent a very happy woman

                                                                                                          What kills me are these 12K+ sq ft homes on half an acre of land. So you either have to leave your blinds down all the time or hope you look good enough where your neighbors won't giggle about you at the HOA meetings.

Pales in comparison to Trump's latest House project he's building to flip ($125M) highest priced home in USA and will most likely get asking price. 68,000 sq ft. I don't think it even should be called a Mansion, it's more like an American Palace, but even that's not a good enough description, it might even have it's own zip code. I just wish I could afford it and then I'd fill it up with every poor or homeless person I could find cause most likely it will be bought by someone who won't even live there most of the time.

                                                                                                                                                  I am thinking it has a lot more to do with the land it is on and the decor and the general overall feel. I have seen 8 bedroom houses that look like a mansion and others that look more like a ghetto apartment complex.

Then again, we were BROKE in a 2 bedroom 600 sqf dump. I guess with the advent of Cribs, peoples' opinions have changed.

I have lived in one, 12,000+ SF and nothing but headaches and big bills. Give me 3000 well laid out SF any day of the week. I rather spend my $ on important things, like cock and whores. I mean coke.

(it would be impossible to work and take care of it proprely). That's my definition of a mansion.
