Our Very Own McMansion
Forgive me for neglecting our eastern neighbors on Thayer Avenue, but I rarely, if ever, get down that direction. The school is about as far down as I ever go. But imagine my surprise this morning when I drove by the new contruction at Thayer Avenue and Thayer Place.
Wow. This is some kinda setup. I didn’t see a “For Sale” sign, so I assume it’s a custom build job. How did I miss this? It sure doesn’t go with the neighborhood, but it’s not necessarily bad. Just big. You could fit a third world country in this thing. And you probably had to mine all the stone out of said country to build it.
As always, this begs some questions:
- Who is doing this?
- Is there an owner already?
- What’s the square footage?
- Is it too far away to make my property value skyrocket?
- Could you actually fit the population of a developing nation inside?
- Did Jerry McCoy fight against the destruction of something in order for this to be built?
- What would my neighbors say if I built this on my property?
- Doesn’t having the largest house in the neighborhood take your relative property down from where it could be?
Maybe The Silver Bee has some details…
