re: Anyone ever take down an older home and rebuild

Should have mentioned this in my previous post.

One of my nephews and his wife outgrew their starter home in River Ridge and found a house on a much larger lot just a few blocks from their home and bought it.

They decided the older home on the lot would not fill their needs as far as square footage, configuration and what it would cost to make it like they wanted, so they had it torn down.

It was basically a 1 story ranch style house and they built a 2 story 4 BR, 3 bath home in its place and they couldn't be happier with their decision.
