Three single-family homes we looked at back in May on N Greenview Avenue in Uptown have topped out, and now brickwork has begun for two of them. Once the location of the First Spanish Christian Church at North Greenview and West Sunnyside, the lot created by the church’s demolition received three new construction permits in January of this year.

With Stoneberg + Gross Architects as the design lead, the three homes, at 4454, 4456, and 4458 N Greenview Avenue, have a feature we don’t see every day: driveways in the front for the attached two-vehicle garages. Since there’s no alley behind this property, that’s the best way to access the garage.
Longford Construction is the developer and general contractor for these homes. They began brickwork 4454 and 4456 this past week; no brick work has begun as yet on 4458. It also looks like that one, the northernmost of the three, will not have its parking entrance located at the front of the home, of Greenview Avenue, like the other two do. This is the lone two-story home of the three; while it appears to have a basement level, we’re not counting that as a third story. The two-car garage will be detached.

When they wish to leave the cars in the garages, residents of 4454-4458 N Greenview Avenue will be one block from stops for Routes 22 and 78 buses, and two blocks from Route 81, though that will move back north to Lawrence Avenue once the Lawrence Red Line station reopens. Walking east just over half a mile leads to the Wilson Red Line platform.
