Split level houses built in the 70's were all very modern at the time but let's be honest, they weren't historic (unless we're talking mistakes). I think this is the same.Kelli @ The Loss Causehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045999778452965533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-8285932599380627812011-10-09T14:56:15.108-05:002011-10-09T14:56:15.108-05:00Hard to believe that the Historical Society approv...Hard to believe that the Historical Society approved this one!! It seems very cold as well as modern. The inside looks like a staged house for an imaginary family...nothing of a personal nature there. Just me of course, but I don't care for this house and surely does'nt "fit" your neighborhood.Karen Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-51681712199041891572011-10-09T14:31:07.917-05:002011-10-09T14:31:07.917-05:00I don't like it for your neighborhood at all! ...I don't like it for your neighborhood at all!

As for the neighborhood, I have a 1907 brick that would be impossible to build today. I wouldn't mind at all living next door to a house like this. Better than a new fake old house. Have a great weekend!

I love the inside even more and want everything in there. Okay, not the living room rug, that can go.<br />It is a bit confusing to say a new house cannot look old but they want all the houses to blend together. What would a new house look like then?jeanette from everton terracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02025486213973874174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-90772519496299010122011-10-09T10:02:14.728-05:002011-10-09T10:02:14.728-05:00I think new construction needs to be aesthetically...I think new construction needs to be aesthetically pleasing and compliment the rest of the neighborhood.

I agree that it would be nicer flipped around but I would live in it and be ecstatic even if it was upside down! I LOVE IT! (I love the Art Deco one even more) but<br />L O V E it! I suppose it's the interior is what really has me swooning but....<br />besides, I HATE rules, rules be damned. I can't stand anyone telling me how and what to do. The town I live is known for eclectic neighborhoods. You never know what is next door to what and that's why I'm so lucky to have my skinny little hovel squeezed in between such nice homes. :)<br />I'm so surprised that we don't agree since usually we are like 2 peas in a pod. There's only thing I would change, and you can easily guess what I'm going to say is...ADD a pool!<br />Ha! (can't you just see my Soulmate Sofa in that house?! tee hee)<br />Love ya Nita but I disagree on this one.<br />XOXO - CindiCindi Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475347748831862659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-69061996855561953772011-10-09T09:14:54.377-05:002011-10-09T09:14:54.377-05:00I agree with Urban Cottage.....that is a strange r...I agree with Urban Cottage.....that is a strange rule. I think it would be the reverse. The new builds need to look old to blend in with a historic neighborhood. This does not blend at all. The inside is at least is true to the outside. Very miminalistic.<br />Our neighbor hood is almost 50 years old and some of the same restrictions apply. <br />No home business.....in a day and age that so many work from home. We can have a horse (1/2 acre lots) but no fence or barn. I guess he will have to live in the garage. Very funny, huh.<br />I enjoy your tours.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242778760582160429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-88785658284676539732011-10-09T09:10:30.153-05:002011-10-09T09:10:30.153-05:00What a weird rule.

The inside is great and the back elevation is beautiful. I think they should have flipped the back to the front. The front looks so inaccessible, almost cold war. <br /><br />Interesting to see though.An Urban Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666212353075804092noreply@blogger.com
