Potential Flip Opportunity

last year

We are making an offer on a vacant house across the street from ours. To make it stand out from ours and the other houses in the immediate vicinity, we would like to do something inexpensive, but still give it unique curb appeal. Any suggestions?

The first picture is the vacant house. The second is ours.

    In the words of treadsoftly, the gable style was too “uniformly…uniform” in our neighborhood.

    This is a quick before and after. I am going to send some interior shots too.

    You did a great job,ronni!

    I like that the new owner can add their own landscaping, you did all the hard work!

    Here are just a few interior shots…disregard the tools and mess…it is still in the closing stages.

    The coat closet door was the back exterior door. I refinished it and ‘recycled’ it.

  • 2 months ago

    This was the ‘primary’ bedroom closet. We removed it, borrowed about 3 additional feet from the original laundry area on the other side of the wall and added a bathroom

  • 2 months ago

    The kitchen ran the length of the first picture. We added a wall with an arch and tucked in a new laundry area with an exterior door leading to the garage. The second picture was the doorway leading into a small hallway where the other two bedrooms and bathroom are located. We arched it as well.

    It doesn’t look like most of the renovations on the app, but it is so much better than it was!

    Wow down to the studs. A big project but will be in much demand. These photos will be valuable in marketing to show the work you've done. Thank you for the updates.

    One little remark, it appears the outlet close to the sink is not a GFCI. Perhaps you or your electician could switch it out? (most municipalities require this)

    You have done a really nice job!!

    following along

    The GFCI was installed after the picture was taken.

    Houzz only allows photos in Discussions, no videos.

    Adding an actual bathroom always pays off. It's great you were able to rework the closet...masterful planning. Also a new laundry room especially in a house of this size.

    I love the arches and other nice touches.

    If you upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo, you can post a link to it here.

    Thank you for the positive feedback. We did sell it!

    Congratulations!

    Thank you!

    Does the YouTube link work?

  • last month

    Not for me. It takes me to your channel, which apparently has no content. If you got confirmation that your video was uploaded successfully, you may need to set the video setting to “public.

    I will do that now
