Curb Appeal! My House Got a Facelift!

clsz
10 years ago
My husband and I had remodeled our house on the inside and felt it was time to update the outside. I took photos of Craftsman house that had features I really liked. I also spent hours on HOUZZ looking at photos and printing out the features I really liked. After about 2 years of research I took all of my ideas and pictures to Ron Brown, a respected builder in our community and said "here is what I want now make it my house". Together we made our dream house come true. In the end all we added was a porch and paint but the results is amazing! I love the way people drive by and say "we heard about your house and had to come see it. " Thanks HOUZZ for all of your inspiration.

    Could you tell me the size of your porch? We are preparing to add a porch onto our ranch. We our planning on 8 feet out, not sure what the length is. I love the transformation by the way; Looks amazing!

    I believe "facelift" is a bit of an understatement!

    This is absolutely adorable!!!! Sometimes, folks want to turn one thing into something way off the mark. This is the perfect example of someone taking a nondescript rancher & giving it a totally cute (and more importantly, believable) update/facelift/makeover.

    Nice job!!!!

    Beautiful!!! I would have made at least a 2 car garage if you doing all these renovations. Is a house this small worth dumping money like this into?

    Looks great but STILL no response on the paint color as asked by several people. I too would like to know what was the paint color and from whom did it come? Sherwin Williams? Behr? Benjamin Moore?

    Do your local Building and Safety regulations require a railing for a porch of that height?
    I would check on that.
    The house turned out beautifully!

    It is sooo fabulous!! BUT the practical in me would love to know your costs and what a realtor would say was the value increase. You didn't add square footage which is where the value is usually carried in a home. I saw a home in Fargo years ago that did this and was always impressed but gosh what's the $$$ fall out on something like this?

    This post is 9 years old. I doubt we will ever learn any of those answers.

    somewhere in the thread I think she said $30,000 included roof, porch, windows and landscaping. Of course if its been that long the price has risen.
