Grant Park Bungalow Renovation – Week 8 & 9

Posted on: March 02, 2010

Sorry for the delay on this post. Now is not the time for me to fall behind because lots of work has been completed. This is the point of the renovation when things happen quickly. Notice anything different about the front of the house? That's right! No front porch! The enclosed front porch has been torn off and will be rebuilt to its original state, an open front porch. The original wood siding is in decent shape. Any rotten wood is being ... (Read more)

Grant Park Bungalow Renovation – Week 7

Posted on: February 23, 2010

New Roof! The beautiful blue tarps have been removed, and the house now has a new top. I once purchased a house from a retired Army colonial who loved to tell me that he "just put a new top on her 2 years ago". Ever since then, I've called a new roof a new top! The old shingles were torn off and thrown away. Be careful if you decide to put new shingles on top of existing shingles. That method is cheaper, ... (Read more)

Grant Park Bungalow Renovation – Week 6 – Under Contract!

Posted on: February 10, 2010

The big news this week is that the home in now under contract! I've been helping a couple look for a house in Grant Park, and they haven't been able to find exactly what they wanted. They saw every home in their price point, but none were the perfect home. Well, they feel like this renovated bungalow will be the one! It's a unique situation that I've written about before in - Thankful for a ... (Read more)

This is the 5th week of renovation on Broyles. The home is now completely gutted out and the framework has been configured to the new layout of the house. As you can see in the picture, it is easier to start to envision how the floorplan is going to look.

This week was Christmas, so nothing substantial was completed on the renovation. I thought I would throw in a few pics of the fireplaces in the house. They look great! Justin Landis Keller Williams Peachtree Road 404-803-0471 cell justin.landis@kw.com http://www.justinatlantahomes.com/

Grant Park Bungalow Renovation – Week 2

Posted on: December 21, 2009

This week was clean out week! The house has finally been cleaned out, and it took seven dumpsters. Check out the picture below of ONLY two of those dumpsters. Now that the house is empty, you can finally see the house and not what was in it. Good news - the original moldings are in great shape! Bad news - the floors in a few rooms will not be able to be saved. That's the risk of buying a house that ... (Read more)

Grant Park Bungalow Renovation – Week 1

Posted on: December 12, 2009

This week, work is going to begin on a pre-1920 bungalow in Grant Park that needs a major overhaul. Over the next few months, we will follow this process. I've been in hundreds of "ugly houses", but I've never seen one with more "stuff" in it. We literally had to walk on trash to move from one room to another. However, the home has lots of original features, and I know it can be restored. Exterior of the Home: A glimpse of how ... (Read more)
