From Vacant House to Cozy Contemporary Home

[Joe Schaak]

Purchased a vacant Cat-2 home in the South Como area of St Paul. The home had been vacant for a while and, per city code, needed to be brought up to code completely during the remodel. No problem. In addition to bringing the plumbing, electric, and HVAC up to code, I also removed a wall between the kitchen and living room, expanded the bathroom, replaced the remaining old windows, repaired stucco, rebuilt the entry steps, replaced all lighting fixtures, refinished all hardwood floors, and repainted. Sycamore Property Solutions just closed on the sale to a young couple, first-time home buyers. They were so appreciative of the quality and style. And we are so happy to have rescued a house and to enable a young couple to have a beautiful home.
