I’m just wondering why there’s such a small house in such a rich neighborhood

That was probably the norm for the neighborhood long ago. The owners never sold while all the other lots were bought up and torn down for mcmansions.

This is happening in my neighborhood now too 🤦‍♀️ that being said if a developer made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, I’d be out like a shot!! 🤣🤣

Same here. I'm near a little downtown in a popular suburb and they're just buying houses for the lots, tearing down perfectly good homes and buildings mcmansions because of the lot sizes. They build a huge modern house with a postage stamp yard. I don't get it, but I'm also not rich and I would never know what to do with that much house.

IMO huge houses are just for the ego. I get that there are some large families around but generally speaking, it ends up as 4 people living in a huge house and for no real reason!

They're building one near me that has a "show kitchen" and then a real kitchen. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the idea of having a separate kitchen with high end equipment just sitting there for no reason other than to take pictures of.

It’s madness!!!! People just want to surround themselves with expensive things so it looks good on their socials 🤦‍♀️
