#mansard roof

McDonald's, McDonaldland Park, Corning, New York, 1985

Long, long ago in 1970, where we decided that the best way to crown a home was to give it a "shaggy dog" haircut made of wood. This mansard roof isn't just an architectural choice; it’s a lifestyle commitment to looking like a very expensive shed that has achieved sentience. The cantilevered carport offers just enough shelter for your land-yacht to stay dry, provided the wind doesn't blow at more than two miles per hour. That teal sedan in the driveway is clearly the main character here, built with enough chrome to blind a low-flying pilot and a turning radius that requires a written permit from the city council. It’s the ultimate "Good Decor" flex: a house that matches your car's optimism and your gardener’s caffeine intake.

What a beautiful home! 1860 home with a mansard roof in the lovely town of Cornwall on Hudson, NY. 4bds, 4ba, $1.25M.

The front door is stunning. It looks like black patent leather.

Center hall with original stairs.

To the left is a very spacious sitting room. It's so bright and cheerful. Look at the wainscoting wall.

To the right of the hall is a pretty dining room. It can accommodate much larger furniture and more pieces.

Look at the cute little mousie detail on the baseboard.

Isn't this the most delightful guest powder room?

The kitchen remodel is lovely. The stove is in front of the original fireplace.

The kitchen is open to the gorgeous sun room.

I still feel that you can't go wrong with striped wallpaper. It always looks great. This main floor primary bedroom is stunning.

Love baths redone with reproduction vintage fixtures.

At the top of the stairs is a bright sitting area.

This beautiful bedroom has a separate sitting room. It could also be the primary.

Like that they left this brick remnant.

En suite shower.

If this is a guest room, it's wonderful. A small table, sitting corner, books to read, and a fireplace.

This bath looks retro. So attractive.

Beautiful basement stairs.

The rec room has a bar that can accommodate the whole gang.

Very professional, well-equipped bar.

Guests can go across the hall to the pool room.

There's also a comfortable movie room.

Large yard with a deck and pool.

Lots of parking, plus a garage.

It looks like a picture in the snow.

So pretty lit up at night. The lot is .58 acre.
