The sight of one large home in Sugar Land, Texas, brings up more sour feelings than saccharine ones.
That's what a few Redditors in r/McMansionHell concluded after a Reddit user shared a picture of a ridiculously gaudy house.
The McMansion is painted a faded yellow and has a gray roof. It has two garages, one smaller than the other, and the outdoor lighting is somewhat excessive. Reddit users also complained about interior features, but unfortunately, pictures of them are no longer available in the Zillow listing.
"My eyes! That intimate dining room in #10. Please steam the drapes so they don't look like you slept in them," a Reddit user complained. "Then the claustrophobic bathroom with the ugly black sink. The entirely wasted floor so you can look up at the chandelier from two floors down."
While everything tends to be bigger in Texas, this house measures a truly enormous 5,215 square feet.
According to BobVila.com's analysis of data from Realtor.com and Inman, the average size of a Texan house is 2,031 square feet. That means this McMansion has over double the space of the average house.

While it's not for everyone, one solution is to downsize into a tiny home. Tiny homes can use materials and HVAC systems more effectively, and some tiny homeowners really have an eye for design.
If that's not for you, you still have plenty of options to work with the home you have.
Weatherizing your home can make it — and you — more resilient to rising energy bills. An energy company may also be in your area that runs "energy audits" to evaluate what your home needs. The audit itself is usually free as well.
