Hi, N K M, did you use a translator? I wonder what you mean by "thought" translation.
In any case, this has nothing to do with the meaning of "señora" in this sense.
it is a very typical usage in Spain.
Señora in all cases means that it is grand, beautiful, wonderful, expensive...just choose one.
una señora casa: a grand house, a mansion, big, beautiful, impressive
un señor coche: a great car, speedy, great looking, very expensive, high standard....
Polenta, genial el hilo, enhorabuena por buscar algo tan original.
Se ve que en Méjico no se usa así que nuevo para muchos.
One thing I forgot to say is that the adjectives señor and señora are always placed before the noun.
Yes, as Heidi said it means, big, grand, very good etc.
