Yeah, the upper one looks washed out. The second is a bit too dark, but the colours look better than on the first one. Hm. Something's wrong. Ah! I know what's bothering me on the both and makes the mansion look like a toy. The brick texture is too big. Increase the scale, so the individual bricks are not too big. Something like a quarter of the present size. And the crenellations should have a bit more of bump on them.
