Monroe Update

The painter is working hard ...
The floors are getting ready to be refinished ...
And the BWI team is standing by to put this house back together ...

Here are a few pictures to show you what we have been working on for the last month!  We hope to have "finished pictures" and this house on the market by mid-January!  Stay tuned ...

 

  

Vrain - Preliminary Design

We are working with a local architect to prepare design/construction drawings for the Vrain project.  Here is a very preliminary rendering of the finished product.  

Monroe - Under Construction

Since we rented the house back to the sellers for a couple of weeks, the start of construction has been slow.  However, we made great headway last week.  The demo is mostly complete, new walls are framed, cabinets and flooring ordered ... 

Watch here over the next couple of weeks for updates on the progress!

Many thanks to our demo crew for their very hard work last week!

Monroe - Purchase Closed

We closed on the Monroe project Friday morning. It was a lovely closing.

We purchased the home from a couple in their 80s that have decided to move to something that is easier to maintain ... a loft in Lowry ... they are happy that they can walk to the grocery store and the local Tavern.

They are also happy that we are going to do the improvements to their home that they don't have the energy to do ...

I will look forward to showing them the finished project in January

 before they leave for a winter in Arizona!

We will begin construction in 2 weeks - watch here for updates!

3270 Vrain Street

We have gone under contract on another new and exciting project.  Once again, this project has a little different twist than the projects we completed this past summer.  This home is an existing duplex located in the Highlands neighborhood.  Our plan is to add a second story ("pop the top") and then sell each side separately.  We are scheduled to close at the end of November and hope to begin construction in the new year.
