Five neighborhood tear-downs are complete. Here is the second, a spec house on .2297 acres sold before it was complete. It's by Phillip Pettis Homes, Inc.

Here is house 1 of 5, house 2 of 5, house 3 of 5, house 4 of 5, and house 5 of 5, house 6 of 5. house 7 of 5.


I think Philip and I are on the same wave length. I blogged another project of his on Merton.

He wrote me about this one:
I carefully studied the street and the entire 4 block area and sketched the front to fit in .... your thoughts?

You may be interested to know that it is the smallest new house I have ever built... our focus is on "smart sized homes" that are highly energy efficient....not McMansion's.

This one started in a "Morningside" "Tudor-ish" style, built in 1930, renovated in 1960 according to Redfin. It was perhaps a 1,200 square footer when built.

This isn't a bad look but Tudor isn't in thing right now.

I loved the chimney though it was mosly hidden in the bushes.

The add-on didn't look so good, shown here stripped of its siding, perhaps asbestos siding.

The "new" addition was the last to fall.

It had a style soul-mate on the right, a low rancher duplex on the left.


The demo guys said the old part was tough, the new part was easy. You can see the house in context with the neighbors about halfway though this video.

Well it's gone.

Here is the glamor shot with crepe myrtle.

I don't know where you come down on teardowns. I think this one is pretty darn good.

Next: House 3 of 5 isn't like this one.

Here is house 1 of 5, house 2 of 5, house 3 of 5, house 4 of 5, and house 5 of 5, house 6 of 5. house 7 of 5.
