What Houzz contributors are saying:
A year later, it's a 2,200-square-foot home. Got $739,000? That's the asking price today. Cedar siding shows off the original curve. Frankovitch left some of the original blocks exposed and painted them dark brown. "Buildings that used to be something else have a richness and history to them," he says. "The beautiful imperfections just add to it."
This corner residence is also in Pittsburgh, but designed by a different architect, is long and low. Its composition is striking with a curving wood volume anchoring volumes in white and green. The curving wood wall is not arbitrary: it is actually a direct renovation of the machine shop that existed on the site.

Cedar siding adds some modern oomph to the original concrete blocks on the exterior.

AFTER: The same odd little building now looks like a bright, modern home in a vibrant neighborhood. Even if you ignore the second story, the changes in colors and materials on the original building are stunning. Cosmetics can make all the difference. See the entire transformation here.
