A large, projecting plywood fence has been taking up space in front of 2164 E York St. for quite awhile now, but it wasn’t until the other day that we realized the dramatic transformation that has taken place. Looking at Google Maps Street View and peering through the trees, we can see the old facade, with faux stone covering up the bricks.

Yuck

The new facade, done by Baltyk Construction, has a contemporary look and unfortunately ditches the cornice entirely. Based on listings from a few years back when the home was last on the market, the interior has a number of original details and classic touches. We’d be interested to know how much contemporary style has been injected into the interior, as well.

The other day. No pesky leaves on the trees.

While we’re not doing…
