Progress On 444 Dartmouth (Project Brookside)

By
Real Estate Agent with Vizion KC

This is shaping up to be one of my favorite home renovations.  Seeing this project come together has been truly amazing.   That’s a lot for me to say considering I’ve witnessed dozens of home renovations with Vizion including the amazing transformation of  James A Reed but that’s another story.

Working with an interior designer has made my life a lot easier.  No more stressing about light fixtures or paint colors she’s got it.  I love the color of the walls in this house.  As you can see most of the interior paint has been finished and most of the light fixtures have been installed.  90% of the times I’ve seen this house this room has been full of junk or tools.  Seeing it clear like this reminds me of how large and spacious this room really is.

Dining Room

This the dining room.  Notice the new hardwood floors have already been installed.   This house is really starting to come together.

Kitchen

Here’s the kitchen.  It looks bigger almost every time I see it.  I love how bright this kitchen is and look at all those electric outlets.  Right below those outlets is where the new solid surface granite counters will be.  That’s a lot of counter space.

Half Bath

So how close are we to being finished?   Here’s your answer.  This is the half bath downstairs.  The vanity and toilet have already been set.  That’s the same vanity we used in 425 W 70th.

Bathroom

Remember this bathroom?  Just two weeks ago there was a hole in the floor and you could see the entrance door downstairs from where I’m standing.   As you can see the vanity, toilet, and tub have already been set.  I hope we get some good weather next week so they can start working on the outside.

Master Bathroom Walk in Closet

This should look familiar.  That’s the walk in closet on the right and the master bathroom on the left.  When we bought this house there were just two closest on this side of the master bedroom.

Hi Justin,

I really enjoy your progress reports.  You create such a wonderful record of the transformation- and the house looks beautiful!

Isn't it great to have somebody help you with colors. Colors are hard!! I hired a color person and it made a world of difference. She came into our house when it was gutted and ended up picking out colors for several rooms that look like a million bucks.  I could never have come close without her help.

I look forward to the updates!
