[quote author="freedomCM" date=1234877391]graph, besides a too modern kitchen, what is wrong with that santa clara house?
TIA for edumacating the ignorant (me!)
And while I understand what BK and tmare are saying, I agree with graph that no builder is going to take this project on in the current market, unless it is to live in themsleves.</blockquote>
This is why FP is a nice neighborhood because the condition of houses made it difficult for investor without sophisticated construction knowledge. The appeal of FP attracts only a few who loves the character of old houses and the aesthetic of the neighborhood. It is not for everybody and certainly not for those who put aesthetic as a last priority. 99% of homes we see today placed function first and aesthetic last. As a result neighborhood character suffers.
