515-517 Peyton Street (constructed 2000) – This newly constructed duplex is significantly larger than the surrounding single-family homes, yet the design of the duplex with a unified front porch, compatible height, setbacks and width, use of wood siding, along with locating the garages in the rear of the building, creates a compatible new construction in massing and scale and does not significantly impact the streetscape.
