MOUNT LOOKOUT
A teardown project by Newpoint Construction Company should be starting soon at 3730 Earlscourt View. The half-acre of land and the house were appraised at $485,400 in 2005. The house was demolished in 2006. Homes in the area are in the $350K-$500K range. A newer one (1990) is over $800K. I would expect this new one to be somewhere near that.
