Builder's tract home evidenced by inexpensive roofing & insignificant porch.

Seems to fit the definition of mcmansion where such is described as over 3000 sf.

Areas I'm familiar with it would probably be called transitional....blend of traditional and contemporary.

Even without reading the description, I could tell you it's a colonial.

But, the description itself tells you so.

If you buy it, enjoy!

We're not looking in Millis, it was just the first example that showed up when I zoomed out on zillow. Though we do like quiet. My husband is pulling for Harvard or Berlin.

That's interesting; I've always thought of colonials as having flat facades. I thought the description was rather like those people that own old four squares but call them Victorians because it sounds more impressive.

Mike, is anyone around here building homes this size with classic architecture? I'm thinking farmhouses, normal non-gabled classic colonials, queen annes, victorians, etc? Or do you have to pay out the teeth for an architect and custom build?

It's the latter IMHO. Spec houses in MA are typically this new Colonial style because it's faster to build and sell in comparison to the styles you mention.
