In the next 15 feet,they <br /> both drop another two feet. 1350 is then flat to the existing house. This house is a walkout,with the <br /> walkout cut into the bluf£ 1348 drops another four feet. Both houses would have sport courts under the �' <br /> garages. The regular basement floor of both houses would be nine feet below street level. This would <br /> be one foot below existing grade for 1350 and one to two feet above existing grade for 1348. The <br /> garage floors would be on foot above street grade.
