Yes, of course. It looks much better. It still stands out like a sore thumb - I wouldn't know it was Georgian but just the fact it's detached is enough that I know it's not original. No servants' quarters in the garrett/attic. The kitchen is almost certainly NOT in the basement, like it was originally in the neighbouring houses, and still is in many of them that haven't been split up into multiple units. But it fits in MUCH better than a 1950s house.
