Our property at 143 Lloyd Ave is almost done. The city came out and turned the water on for us yesterday, so now the plumber can finish up with his connections and can fire up the heating system. This house received new siding, new roof, new windows, and a complete interior makeover. The major change that we made was converting the existing breezeway into living space. This required insulating and sheetrocking the whole room, installing vinyl windows and adding flooring. This new spaces adds about 200 more square feet to our living area and will make a nice dining room or family room.
Here are some pics of the house as we are finishing up;
Once the plumber completes his work we’ll put together a final punch list. When the punch list is complete the home will get cleaned, staged and to the market.
In other news I think we have the house on Ravenwood St sold. This was the Bank of America short sale that we purchased two weeks back. We started the rehab well before we officially closed, so by the time we actually owned the house the renovation was nearly complete. We brought a buyer through this week and she is ready to sign a purchase and sale. I’ve got videos and pictures that I need to post of this property so keep your eye out for those.
Wow! You did this renovation really fast! You bought it like 3 weeks ago right?
The house pictured above on Lloyd Ave we’ve owned since December. The other house on Ravenwood we just bought two weeks ago and it is almost complete.
Matt,
Great Job! I was wondering why did you all removed the landscaping in front the home which looked ok.
Hi Kevin,
The landscaping looks well manicured in the picture but it was really overgrown. Some of it was growing up and blocking the windows. The rest of it was growing way to close to the house and siding causing some wood rot.
