AN i feel more comfortable in an old smaller house on big lot as in MM than the newer style I associate with Carmel Valley (I’ve seen similar in Dana Point).
But as long as you’re gonna have big homes on small lots, 3roots seems to have a great design.
When I was in DC i rented in the Foxhall part of Georgetown on a street of 4000+SF tudor townhouses with 3 floors + basement and typically 5-7 beds 4-5 baths, lavish street landscaping, and 15×30 back yards. I liked this better, as long as you’re going to put houses so close together, might as well connect them to lower building costs and increase SF. This wouldn’t be for everybody here, but it is a shame our zoning rules don’t seem to allow or promote this at all. Both DC and SF have newer construction in this basic size and style.
