It's finally here - we're finished! 3 1/2 months later and a lot of time and effort invested, my partner Rich and I have completed our first renovation project - the Clifton NJ house. We had our first Open House today and had a great turnout. About 20 groups (yes groups) of people came through. Not bad for not having advertised, just directional signs and some flyer's hand delivered to neighbors. While many of the visitors were neighbors, the turnout was fantastic and we were very pleased. So without further delay, I present our finished project.
Here's the front of the property new sod and all!
Here's the kitchen with maple cabinets and stainless appliances. Does anyone remember the hideous green cabinets from my original post on the house? A bit of an improvement if I do say so myself!
The formal dining room view from the kitchen and the beautiful hardwood floors.
The dining room from the living room.
The living room - again the hardwoods.
The master bedroom with terrific walk in closet.
The entrance view from the living room.
Here's the bottom line on this project as many of you have been asking about our expenses and how we were doing with our budget. Our original renovation estimate was for $45,000. We're approaching $65,000. Unanticipated costs included a new heating system, a new central air system - we weren't originally planning on central air but re-thought our plan, all new windows - we were only planning on replacing a few but they were all bad, higher than expected plumbing and electrical costs, and a lot of miscellaneous expenses that really add up. We are marketing the home for sale at $439,000 and think we are competitively priced in the market, especially since everything in our property is new. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress of selling the property. Now it's time to start looking for the next project!
