This Week in Demolition: Avalon Place’s finest Gregorian

This week in demolition, not a whole lot is going on! While we have a pretty standard length demolition list, none of the buildings are particularly interesting. Which unfortunately means that I don’t really have a story to tell this week so let’s just get straight into the interesting buildings. First we have this week’s featured home 2515 Reba Drive. This wonderful 1940s Gregorian style two story, has been tastefully updated while keeping much of its original exterior charm. Huge picture windows surround the original fireplace. The only new construction on the house is a one room two story addition on the rear of the house. The downstairs makes for a great sun room really putting those picture windows to work. The second story of this portion is used as an office with a great set of built-in shelving and a desk. Despite all the modernity of the house, some original charm is kept through things like an original recessed staircase, and beautiful crown molding throughout the house. With all the work put into this house it’s no surprise it sold for over $1 Million about two months ago. What will replace this Avalon Place original is still unknown. Other houses worth checking out this week are 4701 De Milo Drive where the owner had to take multiple cans of pledge to just about every surface in the place. Finally, we have 1536 Jacquelyn Drive a house that might be taking itself a bit too seriously on the inside.
