Lot 15,14: Maywood Park Flats LLC to Sean Wills Harshaw ($170k - 6/02/14)

I've had friends with chipping paint on their house get cited for code violation from OKC. Who would be cited in this case if you were to call in a code violation?

Two temporary solutions:

Metal panel siding (a la Maywood Lofts, Block 42) could be used to temporarily remedy the eyesore, yet still allow removal for any future structure to be build abutting the existing structures.

...or your could go #BigLeagueCity and have large scale advertising (Apple, Nike, etc) as you see on the sides of buildings in other cities. Proceeds could benefit the Maywood HOA.

They're digging footings today. It looks as if it will be a two-lot house. I was told it will be 3 stories and have a rooftop deck, but haven't seen the plans.

They have filed for a building permit but not design review.

It will be 3 stories and about 2,500 square feet. Sam Gresham is the architect.

Why not a Westbrook version of this???

Some kind of metal going up this morning.

There's also a 1 story frame up on the west end, between the empty lot at the end of the brownstones and Maywood I.

That is going to be a 3 story house with rooftop deck.

Plans have also been approved by the architectural committee for a house on the two lots just west of the westernmost brownstone on the north side of 3rd St.

Great spot for it.

It looks like some sort of metal siding. I hope there's more to go on there, because what's going on there now is hideous.

Can't be more hideous than the way it has sat for half a decade.

You'd think so, but check it out next time you drive by....

Metal siding is absolutely hideous all around. Do you know if this is permanent?

I think the DDRC should pass an ordinance banning metal siding.

Not permanent. But there's no reason to brick it when at some point there will be an adjacent row house. It's an inexpensive temporary alternative to the painted styrofoam that people have been complaining about.

You're probably correct, they've put up for sale signs on the adjacent lots.

At some point temporary needs to be defined..

I would agree. I thought four or five years ago was long enough. But let's face it, four to five years ago I wasn't sure if any more of them would sell, and now they're all owned and occupied and all lots on 3rd are owned by someone other than the developer. I walked by yesterday and the siding doesn't look bad at all, especially compared to painted styrofoam. Everyone with a top floor porch already has vertical metal siding on our east and west walls and this matches. Unless the economy tanks badly again, I suspect all the lots on 3rd will be built in a few years anyway. One new house on my block is ready to go anytime now.

Do we have renderings of this? https://twitter.com/stevelackmeyer/status/602159234667642880

This is that same building. Very different than the Brownstones and looks like it will have a Spanish tile roof.

I cannot figure out how this by-passed design review.

http://www.okctalk.com/images/pete/dd052315.jpg

There is nothing currently on the roof, it's just framed in.

Materials will match current Brownstones.

So, are the rest of the lots on this row for sale for individual houses?

I don't think any of those lots are on the open market.

The two lots that sold for the house now under construction were bought at auction.

Most of them are still controlled by Garrett and Company. They don't believe that people want to build houses there, but if you're interested, you can try calling them. Can't hurt.

Large unit at 115 NE 3rd sold for 850K. Had sold new in '11 for 680K. So about 194 a foot to 242 foot in 4 years there.

25% in 4 years…You're not getting that kind of return (if any) in your suburban home.

Yes - nice return...but not all are that fantastic. Larger Block 42 which sold for $676K in 2008 is under contract for $635 now. About 220 a foot there.

But that's not a brownstone? (or is it?)

Definitely not a brownstone as it was wood construction.

It's not a brownstone, but it's right next to them. I wasn't sure where to post it. Maybe there's a different thread.

I feel like there was a "firehouse" like thread for that property but can't remember for sure.

That's a different property that's on the other side of Deep Deuce.

He's saying he thought there was a thread similar to the firehouse one specifically for this property.

There isn't one, unless he is referring to the Brownstone Flats, which actually never happened. The thing being built in the rows of Brownstones pictured above is a single residence unit, unless I am mistaken.

If anyone is shopping, one of the 3 story ~2600 sq. ft. south facing Brownstones just came on the market. It has the top floor deck with fireplace. The last one sold in about a week, but thought I would mention it in case anyone is looking downtown.

^Saw that online - floorplan looks a little diff than the others I have seen there but maybe just the perspective from the photos and not in person. Looks very nice.

It has one of the original floor plans, IIRC. The ones across the street had some changes made to them which I prefer. The 3 story north side ones access the top floor patio from the master bedroom instead of a hallway.

Exterior seems really simply, particularly on the east side, but maybe that's because they expect something built close to that side. From Friday.

Edit: No clue why a couple of these images posted sideways. ;(

That rooftop, though! :rock_on:

I walked through it yesterday. It looks like they're very much going for a loft feel with very high ceilings, railroad tie headers on some of the window, visible ductwork, open living room/kitchen space. Notations on some walls indicate they will be covered in brick, or pavers. That top floor deck is huge, has two glass garage doors and what looks like and indoor/outdoor bar with a tin garage-style door. It very much looks like a house for entertaining.

Hmm, sounds like something Russell Westbrook would be interested in, a 2nd house! House Party All Night Long.

Good news if my hypothesis is true!!!

The western unit that added the small building and courtyard is for sale for $925K:


Contemporary Urban Brownstone with Unmatched Downtown Views (http://urbanbrownstone.info/)


http://www.okctalk.com/images/pete/brownstones041816.jpg

Seems sort of odd that the entire purpose of buying that extra lot was to simply put in a "media room" with a boring rooftop deck and a courtyard. I figured going through all of the expense for such a minor add-on would mean it was specifically for their own interests.

Now suddenly selling shortly after completion would lead me to believe maybe something came up financially or other.

Or maybe they know something is going to get built next to them and obstruct some of their view :eek:

Someone should buy it, tear down the media room, build a full brownstone in its place, and THEN sell it....

The view is great. The interior looks awful. I guess I just don't like contemporary interior design at all.

+1. I don't care for it at all either.

Haha... Very much my style.

In fact, I was just now trying to find where they got those two globe light fixtures over the dining table.

I was just thinking it didn't look that great for a million dollar home...

I love the inside.

yeah... i'm good with the decor but the fixtures and finish both seem a bit cheap for a million dollar home. on top of that, the media room doesn't look like it's tied into the hvac... it has what amounts to a fancy window unit on the wall. -M

It has the vents to be tied into the HVAC it appears. The other could just be extra.

+1 definitely feels cheap. You can definitely do a much better job at contemporary than this.

I think it is priced pretty fair. Its just a few bucks below comps at Block 42. Way below comps at the Centennial ($350 range), about $15-20 sqft over the Hill, and on point with lofts at Maywood. For all the amenities you get with it I'd almost say it's a steal.

Yes. It is odd that there are ceiling vents and then have a mini-split. Nothing wrong with a mini-split as it allows you to control the temp/humidity in a specific individual zone. But, then why put vents in? Just odd.

Another new stand-alone residence is being proposed for just south of Maywood II.

Really wish they would have developed the empty lots on the east and west ends of 3rd.

Just one? It appears that is either a very large residence or maybe multiple units?
