Musings on residential architecture in West Seattle from behind a stroller

10 January
There's so much potential in this house. It's sort of a modified frame Tudor with a lovely curve to the roof and a beautiful arch over the front porch. The three color choices are great (a designer friend of mine once told me that you should always have three colors). There's so much to like here.
But the window choices on the ground floor don't go with the rest of the house. I think they're a complete travesty. The picture window on the left doesn't even match that incredibly stupid window on the right with the fake mullions. Looks like two different owners decided to modernize. And both of them got it wrong.
Replace those two monstrosities with something more appropriate (maybe three large double-hung windows like the two on the second floor) and you'd have a showpiece.
