Trophy Houses

P. five years ago someone bought one of the most beautiful houses on a stretch overlooking Sampson in pristine condition. The view is breath taking.
Because it wasn't the largest house on the stretch they tore it down and built the largest one on the stretch,which took 3 years. IMO the new one is modern ugly compared to the old Cape Cod house.
Can't imagine someone buying a house as beautiful as that tearing it down and wasting 3 years not being able to enjoy it while the new one was being built.

They probably rented one down the road while they were waiting.
We do a lot of work on Lake George, not much different. Buy a house for a million plus, tear it down and put up what you want.
