15th St — Character Preservation

"This home was full of original details — an ornate fireplace surround, arched doorways, original wood trim and doors. We didn't want to modernize the character out of it. We preserved what made it special and updated what needed it."

What we did

  • Preserved ornate fireplace and original wood trim
  • Refinished hardwood floors throughout
  • Granite countertops with beadboard wainscoting
  • Wrap-around porch with brick columns
  • New concrete pad and clean basement

This property was part of a much larger portfolio of properties we took over and are revitalizing. This area of Kenmore is exceptionally nice, though, initially when we began the rehab we started on the exterior with removing a ton of growth surrounding the structure. It took 3 days straight doing this work. On the second day we arrived in the morning someone during the night left a dog tied to the front porch. One of the more devastating situations we came to find.
