I’m not sure what is worse, that toilet placement or the ludicrous humpback of this house.

Convenient! You can sit on the pot and brush your teeth at the same time.

And it’s across from “Heights Blvd’s infamous jogging trail.”

Why the hell couldn’t they have gotten a variance to just tear down the old one and build a whole new one?

The deign of that house is just off. Both the bathrooms just seem off other weird room layouts and waste of square footage.

This has to be one of the worst examples of an addition I’ve ever seen.

Realtors love the phrase “award winning” for anything within a 10 mile radius – school/yard of the month/home designer/top Girl Scout troop (it’s probably pretty close to “nestled” in popularity) I once saw a description that included “award nominated”. I guess it’s like the Oscars – just being nominated is an honor in itself?…

I like that they’ve maintained an old house on this major historic street. People would be up in arms if someone wanted to build a modern house here. No one looking at the front elevation will be able to see the huge addition very well. That’s the whole key to the project – keeping the street view historic while adding square feet. Without much added square feet in this valuable location, the house is a tear down but the house is worthy of preservation. Only the side neighbors will even see the addition on a regular basis. The bathroom is a bit odd, true. When the front yard is spruced up and the original building given a paint job with attention to detail, it will look great.

It used to be Esparanza school and has looked like a garbage dump during the three years it’s taken to renovate. The builder and agent didn’t care a bit about the mess that joggers on that trail have seen for years and if you go by today it still looks like hell. If you can’t be bothered to simply pick your crap up every once in a while then who knows what’s in the walls.

If you are willing to shell out $1.25 Mil you can afford to move the toilet yourself. Still surprises me that people are willing to pay such sums of money for sub par design.

And just across an “infamous” jogging trail to boot! Color me intrigued!
