NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not the Peddie house. Why why why why why????? This is the Heights analog to the Simpson’s episode where Mr. Burns builds a machine that blocks out the sun for all of Springfield.
Oh my God! I noticed that they let the garden die (horrible enough) – but THIS? I see the writing on the wall – it is time to abandon the Heights to the depraved blood sucking developers. I’m done!
Blood sucking developers…and/or long time resident next door.
A 6,300sqft lot and no internal updating = kiss of death. I’m right around the corner from this home and loved driving by the garden. My condolences to the neighbors who are sure to get some giant, two-story, $1.5M Melissa Kubala/Bill Baldwin home in it’s place.
…Just like the monstrosity directly behind it on East 16th.
Shame on you Houston.
This would be a stellar AirBnB!
Tragic that the resident had to let it go. Go away. Gone forever. Ever and ever…
Just because you’ve been beautiful for years and years, doesn’t mean you won’t get euthanized when you have only 1 bathroom. Your owners next door are only interested in the inheritance big bucks you will leave behind.
And another thing, NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went by this morning and at least they are salvaging windows and not just letting the excavator have at it. But the garden has gone to weeds. I used to take out of town guests on walks to see the garden.
Nooooo!!!!!
The neighbor who bought it intended to rehab it and turn it into a rental property but the wood rot was significant. It was too far gone to make financial sense for them. Also, the last freeze killed the garden which took several hours a day to tend to, anyway. I miss the house, too, but this wasn’t just some greedy developer who came along with prior intent scrape it and put up a three story townhome in its place.
