A deceptively spacious home on a double lot in Columbia Heights.

[Joe Schaak]

𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙖 𝙃𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 5 𝘽𝙚𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢 This was a deceptively spacious home on a double lot in Columbia Heights. Unfortunately, it was located directly across from a mobile home park. We knew we had to make this one beautiful inside for a multi-generational family to enjoy.The previous owners did a great job cleaning most of their items out of the home. When we took possession, it was a quick clean out and demo. The biggest surprise was the extensive water damage around the bathtub. We thought there would be some but it was more severe than we had thought. No worries, though. We tore things out and put it back together the right way. The kitchen cabinets were painted with new hardware and countertops. We refinished the original hardwood floors and installed new laminate plank flooring to compliment. We also replaced the large front windows, some extremely weathered windows in a bedroom, and the exterior doors. Lastly, we painted and replaced all light fixtures, door hardware, and plumbing fixtures. The exterior needed work but we couldn't break the bank. We simply removed the awnings, repainted the trim, removed the chain link fence, power washed the wooden fence, pruned and shaped all the trees, and hired a lawn care service to get the lawn back in shape. For a finishing touch, we added flower boxes!Our financial partners made over $18,000 by helping us restore this home for a lucky family.
