The house is in Poinciana on Golden Ridge Drive. It backs onto the Allamanda 9 of Cane Garden and is opposite Sunset Ridge Drive.

That home just does not fit the neighborhood. I'm sure there are some upset campers in the area.

Is it ugly?

I do not have an issue with the home itself, looks like a room I have in our home up north. It does look like it affects neighbor's view, but I would think a large birdcage could do the same?

I started the thread, not as an issue, but a curiosity as I was surprised to see a two story home at all in TV.

aj....thanks for the pix.

I rode my bike by there yesterday...from the front you can barely see the addition, so, it doesn't affect the uniformity looking down the street.

You know, if they hadn't put dormers in, it would look like a single story with a VERY high ceiling. I'm still not sure that there is a second floor of living space there (like a loft). It could just be a huge room with very high ceilings where the dormers are just for decoration.

I think that is correct V7 - looks like the windows on the left side go past where a second floor would be. Just a very high ceiling sun room.

The peak of the roof on the addition is lower than the roof peak on the original house. Don't think we are looking at a two story house. However, the dormers certainly give the illusion that it is a two story addition.

There is a second floor there. The woman who lives there is an artist and wanted a bright and light room in which to paint. It's not really an entire second floor, but more of a large loft.

I don't see anything about it that is not nice.

Who was the contractor?

I agree. The only downside that comes to my mind is when my lovely wife says "you know I really do not like the color in the room"

A new thread will start, "where do you rent staging in TV"

Oh, I can imagine that now after re-looking at the pics.

I don't see why anyone would have an objective to this beautiful home.

I would have no objection to living next to that home. I think it looks GREAT. .. but I can see some saying that rules are rules, and if you let one two story home, why not everyone.. and actually it is a good question. Who decides what 2 story homes look nice and which ones dont? Please dont say some committee.. gosh that scares me.

Looks like a tri level to me.
I am going to build a quad!!

I agree that the two-story addition does not dwarf the homes nearby and looks very nice.

JimJim, yes, any proposed addition would need to be submitted to the Architectual Review Board. The three story home in Spanish Springs probably pre-dates many of the current restrictions.
