I didn't really see it before until your comparison, but I really think that's kurt's house now.
Looking from the poke earth shot of azalea.
The small similarities being the male NPC (there was a male NPC near kurts in the original. Burned tower had a female.) and the sign, as well as what can be seen of the town's structure seems really close to Azalea's.
Perhaps that little road leading to the back leads to the white apricot berry you got in the originals.
It seems very likely.
It doesn't resemble the old sprout tower's location, and I think they would have made the burned tower look a little more destroyed.
I wish I knew what those orange objects up in the trees to the right of the new picture are.
EDIT: Doing some googling, maybe the orange-ish objects up in the trees are azalea plants.
