[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My house was built in the late 1930's on a custom basis (we still have the original ad) -- solid brick, slate roof, plaster walls. Yes, insulation needed to be added to the attic and I have nothing against new construction (may even buy it in the future), but I don't think today's homes with the wide spread use of plywood and drywall provide "better bones." New homes tend to have better layouts and less problems because they are new, not because they are better.[/quote] We have a similar old house but have been quoted $400,000 for a renovation and addition. My DW wants to teardown and build new but with a budget of $800,000 I don't think new will have the same charm or uniqueness as our current house. We're on a 6,500 small lot in Bethesda.[/quote]
