Working on a project now that is bringing back memories...
Current project is a 1980's vintage ranch, estate sale, inhabited by smokers and dogs with less than perfect potty training.
On a spectacular 2.25 acre home site, with towering oaks and views across neighboring farms.
With time and money (and the right contractor), the home will be transformed into a place worthy of the land.
About 10 years ago, one of my clients embarked on a similar venture. When we first encountered it, the home has been on the market for more than a year, with multiple price reductions.
What made the project intriguing, however, was the setting: 25 pastoral acres with a gorgeous spring fed pond. That ugly duckling home was on the absolute best building site, overlooking the pond.
My client had the vision and the budget to turn the home into a show-stopper. Removing the upper level allowed soaring ceilings in the great room, and adding commercial grade picture windows unleashed spectacular water views. An addition created space for a lakeside master suite and office.
The lead photo above tells you all you need to know about how an ugly duckling became a swan. Enjoy more photos of the finished product:
