Started in Jan 2018 and completed in August 2018.
Originally built in the 1890s, this enchanting 2-story, single-family home underwent a complete restoration of the highest integrity. The Owner wanted to retain the home's heritage, so many of the original details including solid wood doors, porcelain door k***s, 7" moldings, trim, french oak, and 6" knotted pine floors have been lovingly brought back to life. The owner compliments remodel by adding period-correct pocket doors, fireplace mantle, and vent grates. The restoration also included modern electric, plumbing, central AC, Anderson windows, etc. The jewel-like parlor, has walnut-inlaid parquet floors and is adjoined by an alluring sunroom, dining room, and spacious family room. The bright, open kitchen is newly outfitted with a large skylight, stainless steel appliances, slide-in range, custom cabinetry with integrated pulls & quartz counter-tops. The storybook backyard, with deck and three-season room, is a sanctuary *rarely* found in an urban setting! Upstairs, with a restored mahogany banister and new skylight, the second level houses a bright, spacious master suite with an en-suite bathroom, plus an additional bedroom and bathroom. Bathrooms and powder rooms are adorned with slate tiles.
As the project's Expeditor, Carrie Craft efficiently obtained permits, facilitated updates, scheduled inspections, and within 7 months closed out the project with a Certificate of Occupancy. The Owner praised Carrie for her efficiency, professionalism, attention to follow up and communication throughout the project. The Client sold this new project a few months later!
