Elmwood House

Renovation and furnishings of a South Austin Farmhouse, built in 1969, 2,080 sqft living space. The house was almost completely gutted, but we recycled and repurposed some of the original materials and elements (for example, the original kitchen cabinetry, being still in very good shape, was dismantled, reconfigured and reused - with new appliances and countertops and a new coat of paint).
Project Year: 2024
Project Cost: $150,001 - $200,000
Country: United States
Zip Code: 78745
