The 1970s called and they want their proto-McMansions back!

My uncle owns a house like this, though seemingly a bit further along the timeline. Built in the late 70’s by a major developer in the region, a guy who later pioneered full on McMansions and cul de sac developments in the DelMarVa area.

House is bizarre. 3 front doors, the heating and AC used uninsulated gaps in the walls instead of ducts and vented into the uninsulated attic. Purportedly to create a radiant heating effect. There are balconies everywhere, some of them completely inaccessible, the ground floor has like 3 or 4 different levels requiring one to two steps down or up. And there are multiple “grand” entryways with big staircases and ceilings that stretch multiple floors. Oddly enough only one of them is associated with one of the front doors.

From the street it looks like a fairly typical, consistent; if large and quirky house of the area and era. The inside is pure madness.
