[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's beautiful but I'm not sure anyone would buy this so close to everyone else.  the house that was there before is much more in the keeping with then neighborhood. [/quote]
Agree that this house is way too big for that lot, and so can't imagine anyone spending that much to have neighbors so close.  But I disagree about the house that was there before; it was super-ugly unrenovated 1970s and was ripe to be torn down. [/quote]

I live in Forest Hills and can't believe they were able to build this.  Ugh.  Where were all the do gooders who protected the Polish Ambassadors old house and the one across the street from it that is up against Soapstone.  Plus, they just tour down another cool Mediterranean style house at the corner of Ellicott and Lineaen.  Hope another monstrosity is not going in there.  Time for a historical district ?  :)[/quote]

The house next to Soapstone sucks: why bother?

The Polish ambassador’s is big and on a big lot, but it’s the only house I’ve seen where the sprinklers appear to go on when it rains!

I guess the downside to FH’s relative architectural open-mindedness is that you’ll inevitably get some truly ugly stuff.

Yup. I live in the neighborhood and am watching this happen in real time. There’s a 3.5-story hideous mess of a pop-up just around the corner from this one.[/quote]
You guys are really bringing me down on my fantasy of one day moving into this neighborhood when I suddenly become unexpectedly filthy rich in 5-10 years.[/quote]

Oh...don't worry.  The area that is getting the worse stuff is the end nearer to Politics & Prose - houses are smaller there.  Most of the other houses are big enough and kept updated that they won't be messed with.  The Polish Ambassador's house is an exception as it is on a huge corner lot.  Living here is wonderful...close to the city but you feel like you live in the woods.   Come on over![/quote]
