Morton St Rehab – Flipped in a Flash

Check out one of our latest rehab properties in Springfield.

 

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:

 

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.
