I think a lot of these bloated houses are extremely impractical to actually live in. For example, I live across the street from a McMansion that I fondly call “The Hotel”. It has an ornate front entrance on the main street that the owners never use. It might as well be sealed shut. Instead, they enter and exit through the basement garage, or by walking down a rickety set of stairs from their kitchen to the side street where several of their many cars are kept. Watch out for the boat parked in the driveway!
- ghaff 3y agoAt least in New England, it's a bit of a joke how many houses have "formal" entrances (not necessarily elaborate but obviously designed to be the house's entrance) but everyone just uses the kitchen/mudroom/garage.
- apocalyptic0n3 3y agoIsn't that how it is with most homes with garages, both with and without ornate front entrances? In most cases, the occupants of that house will rarely enter through the front door. Even in cases where they park in the driveway/street, they often will enter through the garage because entering a code or using a remote control is easier than using a key on the front door.
