This little gem was a house that someone converted to a duplex back in the 70's. My goal was to make it a single family house again priced for a first time home buyer. |
Since the house was vacant, the neighbors left sacks of leaves. Thanks neighbor! |
The outside entrance bump out would become closet spaces for bedrooms on both levels. |
This entrance would be removed |
It had a lovely kitchen |
And an even nicer bathroom. |
They got their vengeance with the color scheme |
Marvin the Martian from Bugs Bunny! |
Not sure what the color palette was on the cabinets |
A really narrow passage for the upstairs apartment needed to be made wider |
Upstairs kitchen |

Opened up the kitchen wall to the family room, its already better |
Found the original stairs hidden behind a wall cabinet |
opened up the steps upstairs to give it a bigger landing |
43 tons of waste were taken out of the house, 33 tons of it were recycled |
97% of the wiring was redone. Some of it had been put together with scotch tape |
The area where the old stairwell was on the side of the house became a large closet |
Spray foam insulation. Behind the scenes stuff that costs a lot but you don't see. |
Starting to wrap the house for the new siding |
gutted kitchen |
A peek at the new hardwood |
A pass through from the kitchen to the dining area |
Bathroom fixtures going into place. |
Old tilted porch came off and a window was added on the right side after side door was removed |
Upstairs bathroom fixture |
Upstairs bathroom taking shape |
Upstairs landing is more open and trim work is in place |
Remember Marvin the Martian? This was his room. |
Upstairs family room |
The upstairs kitchen is now the master bedroom |
Kept the staging light, just to accent the kitchen |
