Once inside, my mother's house, seemed much larger than it appears on the outside vs Once inside, my mother's house seemed much larger than it appears on the outside

The second phrase is correct. The first phrase has an unnecessary comma after 'house,' which disrupts the flow of the sentence. The correct version conveys the idea that the house seems larger once you are inside compared to how it appears from the outside.
