If you’ve ever stumbled across the listing of a mansion for the super-rich, you’ll know that not judging a book by its cover doesn’t apply here. Because these luxurious playgrounds are all about being over and over, and over, did I say “over?” the top. And loving it.

But it turns out, some mansions are more extra than others, even if that beats the term in itself. You see, someone on the internet found a listing of “an otherwise normal McMansion,” which has all you’d expect—tennis court, heated pool, and countless rooms.

But apparently, all the fun is in the basement. The 12089 sq ft property in the Potomac suburb of Washington, DC has a life-sized retro village built in underneath. Cobblestone streets, 15 authentic store facades, real working parked cars ready to take you on the ride of a lifetime… do you want me to continue? Oh, and for those who love a cinema date now and then, a double feature of Mary Poppins and the Exorcist is on the menu. You get the vibes.

Welcome to the magnificent 12089 sq ft property on Highland Farm Rd in Potomac, MD

The property is located on 4 immaculately landscaped acres in the prestigious Round Hill enclave of Potomac, according to the advert. It’s comprised of the main residence featuring seven bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, ten fireplaces, six-zone heating, a two-bedroom guest house, pool house and pool, and lighted tennis court.

The same listing ad indicates that the “unique offering” was constructed by Patrick Cullinane, known for building extremely elaborate mansions. A very similarly styled estate built by Cullinane in 1989 was listed for sale for a whopping $7.5M.

Cullinane is considered one of the key figures of the luxury class building boom, which dates back to the ’70s and ’80s in the area of Potomac. According to the Washington Post archive, Cullinane’s creation, which had a six-pillared front portico leading to a 20-foot-high great hall with 18 by 26 feet of marble floor, was an absolute highlight in the area. Back in 1977, such a mansion would have set you back $600,000.
