Semi-tasteful Gays: Judge this gaudy manse and guest manse in Upstate NY

Tudor and MCM do not mix well.

The artwork is nightmare-inducing. I wonder how much extra I'd have to pay for the privilege of burning it on the front lawn.

Interesting fact: America never had Tudors.

The ultra white, modern country house look was DOA. It’s for people who like to hang inspirational wood signs in their kitchen like “wine o’clock!”

Anything north of Yonkers is New Yorkshire.

It's not so bad as some of you would like to pretend.

If anything the interior has been stripped and staged to be so bland and neutral as to hardly make an impression.

It could use a good pop of bold color or really bad taste to liven the place up...

Cheap construction. Looks like a group home in the country for "urban delinquents" in MAGA Land. You just can't see the ten-foot electrified razor wire fence.

Dear God it's hateful. It's like the love child of an English Tudor and a Dallas McMansion.

Fun fact:

Patterson, NY was the family homestead for Elizabeth Montgomery. Although she grew up in L.A. as the priviledged daughter of actor Robert Montgomery, Patterson was the family's East Coast home and where Elizabeth spent her childhood summers.

Patterson was always dear to Elizabeth; she worked the name Patterson and the location into many "Bewitched" storylines. Her mother lived in the estate here until her death.

Elizabeth maintained it all throughout her life and added to the acreage. IIRC, Elizabeth's family donated the land to a charity after her death.

This property is only about 5-7 miles away from that property.

Well I can imagine Aunt Hagatha living in that heap but not Sam.

I looked it up - Elizabeth's family donated about 800 acres of land to the state after her death.

And that land is now known as the nearby Wonder Lake State Park.

Why is it so cheap?

look at it

The Tudor style is no longer popular as this thread shows.

But it's not a poorly constructed McMansion as some posters have suggested.

R9 It's also been home to Pete Seeger and DL fave Timothy Hutton.

Seeger and Montgomery are dead, and Hutton's been trying to offload his farmhouse for years, but it's still a quiet little town on the far end of the Metro-North.
