19956 Wedgewood, Grosse Pointe Woods

03/08/2018

Washington is a cozy space full of style and originality. Not many houses have multiple doors with original stained glass. And the vestibule creates a sort of drama as you enter the house proper. And look at the potential of that yard! I'm running out of breath just describing how absolutely cool this place is. It has definitely seen better days, but that's exactly what we are here for!

As soon as we walked in this place for the first time we were overwhelmed with a vision of what this place could be. Can you see it? No matter your answer just wait and see what we are about to do as we clean, restore, and update Washington. Updates forthcoming!

Wedgewood is a versatile home that can draw the appeal those who simply want a spacious ranch as well as those who specifically have mid-century modern sensibilities. Our idea is to bring this place into the 21st century while maintaining and creating nods to it's birth year, 1955.

We've got big plans for the kitchen! As the project comes together we will share photos of the progress. I can't wait!!!

But, right now the home is missing large swaths of drywall, and the electrical architecture is largely exposed. We do not take anything for granted, and our goal is not simply to make homes that are appealing to the eye. Equally important to us is that the basic infrastructure has been checked and verified to be sound for a new generation of home owners. For us, what you do not see is as important as what you do see.

1100 Grayton is going to be amazing! The location, the size, the style! We are going to bring this place to its full and glorious potential!

But a ton of work still lies between us and the goal. You know the old adage that in order for something to get better it must first become worse? Well, the best days of this home are yet to come! What you see in these “before” pictures will be thoroughly cleaned up and inspected.

Also, some rooms that we will perform a significant overhaul to are the kitchen, master bath, and the main second floor bath. I’m excited to see how our designer’s vision for these rooms come to life. Stay tuned for updates and pics of the progress on this super exciting project!

1014 Yorkshire is the story of a beautiful home that needed some updates and repairs to put it over the top. The owner asked our group if we could get this place looking amazing in order to maximize its value when they were ready to go to market. Our reply was, “When can we get to work???”

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears were shed at 1014 Yorkshire, and it was totally worth it! The result both inside and out blew away our expectations. The outside was ok before, but we created the type of curb appeal that is right on point for what’s hot in today’s market. Another favorite is how the addition of hardwood floors give a clean and updated look to the home’s entry way and staircase. The dark walnut together with the white trim, and the cool gray paint has “sophistication” written all over them.

There are so many more high points to this project, but I’d need a few hours to share the entire story. If you are interested in hearing more about 1014 Yorkshire or any of our other projects please contact us. We’d love to buy you coffee and offer a few ideas of how we can assist you in getting your home ready for market, or finding and creating your dream home.

The results were better than any of us imagined.

A home that is almost perfect except that lacks something on a buyers checklist, such as an additional bedroom, is a deal breaker. But, not for our home buyers. We're not just real estate agents and contractors, but we're problem solvers and dream makers. Contact our team if you want to experience astonishment.

1544 Roslyn had a ton of potential, and we knew it right away. Besides the home needing a ton of updates we recognized that in order for a family to see its true value we had to figure out a way to add a 3rd bedroom. Our design and construction teams proved that they are rockstars by creating a second story addition for an amazing master suite.

The restored original features of this home really stand out. In particular, the amazing wood floors, handrail details, solid wood doors with all original hardware and arched front door. We only made a few layout changes. The 1st floor bathroom could only be accessed from the kitchen. We moved the opening into the family room and opened the wall between the kitchen and dining room to maximize the small kitchen space..

This house was sold prior to the completion of rehab so the new owner was able to make some design choices.

After we put our mark on this particular home we invited the siblings back out for a stroll through the old home they were so familiar with. Their jaws dropped! Inside or out, no home is hopeless for us.

695 Rivard is a great example of a successful rescue mission. Siblings inherited this home and were overwhelmed with the sheer amount of care this home needed before they could even contemplate putting it on the market. We relieved their headaches and fears, and bought the home "as is".

The stress of years of neglect wore on 695 Rivard. But, we knew that if we gave it some love and quality time the original beauty of this place would shine bright once more.

Our team knocked this one out of the park. After the entire home was gutted and blanketed in Kilz, we began to nurse this poor home back to health. From head to toe, this home was touched. Words will not properly capture the transformation that 382 McKinley experienced. Take a peek at the pics, and don't be surprised if you say "Wow!" to yourself.

If you don't have the time, capital, or stomach to take on a project like this, we understand! That's exactly why our team exists. We want to give you your very own "Wow!" moment when you see what we can do for you.

Yikes! 382 McKinley was a co**se of a house. It was used and abused for so long that it really took some serious positive thinking exercises to picture this place safe enough for human habitation. The neighbors told us they could smell the cats from down the block on warm summer days.
