TEARDOWNS by Coulby
Dunn Many of the lakefront homes built
on Lake Wallenpaupack were built in the late 1940's and 1950's. Most
of these homes were built for summer use only without insulation and
heating systems. The homes were built on substandard piers and had inadequate
plumbing and electrical work. The homes were built on prime lakefront
parcels and today many of these homes are still standing. Therein lies
the problem. - the lakefront parcel valued at $200,000 and the house
valued at $20,000. Everyone wants to be close to the lake - lakefront or
lakeview. Naturally, these were the first areas developed on the lake
and consequently have the oldest homes. Our company, Mountain View Homes,
demolishes these "teardowns" to custom build modern new homes,
often designed with the help of our buyers. Many buyers like to live
in a home of their own design. It is an expression of who they are and
how they live. Many teardowns pose significant challenges. Township
ordinances, building setback requirements and other obstacles take time
to work through the system, but the payoff is worth it. Even the next
door neighbors of a teardown are challenging. They are concerned about
their own home, and the impact of a new home next door. However, they
ultimately see that a new home in the neighborhood just increases the
value of their own home. The actual teardown process itself is quick and easy.
We can tear a house down in less than a day and have the entire structure
hauled away and have the lot scraped clean within 24 hours. The cost
of tearing down a structure is usually less that $5,000 and it includes
the cost of hauling the debris to an approved landfill site. The challenge at Mountain View Homes is to provide high
quality housing for our customers and our community. Most importantly,
it is our goal to help make dreams come true!
