Similar treatment on the right.All the above is extremely simple to do, will be far less expensive than removing the stone, and will completely transform the front of the house to give you that oh-so-important curb appeal.

Hi Kim,The house is screaming for a proper proper porch/entry with a portico... it would completely transform the front facade and give the house some much-needed curb appeal.That said, with your extremely limited budget, the next best solution would be build a MUCH bigger wood porch over the existing one (no demo cost, and it's below the entry treshold) that extends a few feet farther into the yard from the house, and if you can afford it, to the far right small window.Either way, build two simple fat columns at the corners of the porch that would be about a foot higher than the railing, and positioned just outside the two smaller windows flanking the entry door.Then, paint the entry door a deep, very rich burgundy.It probably would exceed your super-tight budget, but would absolutely be worth the investment.

The architectural transformation would be mind-blowing, give you off-the-charts curb appeal, and raise the value of the property considerably.

I feel like gentrification is like wildfire right now and the other previously drug ridden neighborhoods will be transformed as a function of time.

The University started this program around 25 years ago and it helped to transform University City. 

The furthest light will be 70 feet from the transformer, the lights themselves are 12v and 0.1amp.

If at all possible, I would absolutely open all three of the second floor windows, it creates a nice balance and provides interior light.What the building lacks is a residential, attractive and welcoming entry, which will completely transform it without spending a fortune.A few questions... does the front property line extend to where the grass strip ends at the alley?

We oil base Kilz'd EVERYTHING, removed all the floor coverings & it was an amazing transformation & absolutely NO ODOR.
