New Springfield MA House Flip

Here is the latest and greatest house renovation the team at Hampden Homebuyers has undertaken!!

We call this home the “Raccoon House” because it sat empty for over 12 years and was taken over by a family of wild raccoons!! They really made a crazy mess of the place, I think the pictures say it all.

We will be doing a full gut renovation on this home, including all new plumbing, new heating system, new electric, new kitchen, new baths, new walls, new floorplan, etc…….. You get the picture; new everything!

Have a look at the before pictures:

So, this place was full of Crap…. literally. The Raccoons were using this place as their latrine!!! Pretty Nasty.

The Before – Springfield Ranch

December 24, 2012 by Matt 1 Comment

Cherokee Dr

Here is a look at the before of our little ranch rehab we did at 218 Cherokee in Springfield.

This was a pretty serious rehab that saw us do a new roof, new siding and a full gut of the interior. After looking at these photos you will see why all this was necessary!!!!

We purchased this property at auction. The bank didn’t clean the house out so we bought it “as-is”. The bank did have a company come and clean up the yard…. however all they did was take everything from the yard and throw it into the living room of the house!! They then took a picture of the clean yard and sent the bank a bill for their “professional” services. Lol!!

So now the living room was full of lawn chairs, pool supplies, plywood, trash bags, trash cans, yard debris and who knows what else. We cleaned the house out and got to work.

Here is a look at the before photos: you can see all the after photos HERE

Kitchen…. Ceilings not doing too Good

Bathroom– Surprisingly not too Bad, except for the rotted Floor

So, needless to say the roof was leaking like a sieve and brought down the ceiling in several spots along with messing up the hardwood floors and the exterior sheathing on the house.

Here are the after photos again for your viewing pleasure; Amazing After Photos

Damn, what an incredible Transformation this one was!!!

Morton St Rehab – Flipped in a Flash

November 8, 2012 by Matt 3 Comments

Check out one of our latest rehab properties in Springfield.

Springfield MA House Flip

We bought this house after it had sat vacant for over a year. Due to being empty for so long the house became a target for thieves and vandals. All the plumbing was removed, the kitchen cabinets were stolen, the gas lines were stolen and even the nice 200 amp electric panel went missing just prior to us closing on the property.

Now these weren’t the lazy thieves that just cut a few copper lines out of the basement and head on there way. No, these guys were good….. they kicked in all the bathroom walls on the first and second floor to get at every little bit of copper that they could. They even got back behind the bathtub and shower and pulled the mixing valves out!!!

Here’s a video we shot prior to starting work on the house.

This flip is a mess!!

What I did like about this property was the floorplan. The kitchen, dining area and living room are all open to each other. The living room has the cathedral ceilings with those nice beams. All four of the bedrooms are large and there is a full bath on each floor. A really nice layout for a Cape.

Here are some of the before pictures:

Gorgeous Kitchen!!

One more look at our beautiful Kitchen

This is a 4 bedroom 2 full bath Cape with around 1,500 square feet and a finished basement. It was built in 1989, so for New England, it’s a fairly new home.

Be on the lookout for my next post, where I’ll show you the finished pictures of this property, and tell you how we sold the house when the renovation was only half way completed.

Now here is a look at the completed project. We really opened up the space similar to our Ellendale Circle rehab. We ran Bamboo hardwood floors throughout the kitchen, dining and living room areas. We used cherry cabinets with Uba Tuba granite counters and a sleek stainless steel appliance package.

A Look at our Finished White Birch Rehab – Leicster House Flip

August 22, 2012 by Matt 1 Comment

Well we are putting the finishing touches on our White Birch rehab project. The last item that needs to be addressed is installing the new septic system.

163 White Birch

This property is an over-sized ranch that was in need of a complete rehab. We gutted out the majority of the interior and did all new electric, new plumbing, new heating, new roof, new windows, new siding, etc….. We turned a functionless living room into a gorgeous master suite. The kitchen was completely renovated and several walls were removed to open up the floor plan.

White Birch For Sale

Attached 2 Car Garage

The home has a big Great Room addition off the back complete with a two car garage.

We went with a Cypress Green siding complete with black shutters and white trim package.

Rear Deck

The home has a big ass deck off the great room. I call this the party deck….. it rocks!!

Deck

French Doors off Deck

We added a real nice set of French Doors leading onto the deck from the Great Room.

Here’s a look at the Kitchen:

Damn, this room is Great…..hence the name “Great Room”. It’s got cathedral ceilings, twin ceiling fans, recessed lighting, french doors to the deck and is rigged up for a huge Flat Screen TV and surround sound.

Master Bedroom

Kick Ass Master Bath

Master Bath

The master bedroom has an “en Suite Bath”…… which is a fancy way of saying Master Bath.

Hardwood Floors

Main Bathroom

The main bathroom has a lot of room and also has all the laundry connections, so we have first floor laundry.

Brand New Buderus Boiler

New 200 Amp Electric Panel

Here are a few more shots of that Kitchen:

New House Flip **** Greendale Renovation

June 23, 2012 by Matt 1 Comment

Here is a look at our latest rehab project. I am calling this one our Greendale Renovation, I don’t know why but it seems like a fitting name.

This is a cute little starter cape that is 4 bedrooms and 1 full bath with around 1,000-1,100 square feet.

Surprisingly none of the four bedrooms had a closet, so we added closets to each of the bedrooms. We also are doing a new roof, new siding, new kitchen, new boiler, update the bathroom, redo all the flooring, fresh paint and a host of other improvements.

Here is the what the house looked like when we bought it.
