Macarthur Under Contract

So, many of you asked if we were going to be moving into this home that we fixed up. The answer is no, originally we bought it as a rental property but then decided we will have to wait until finances are a little more stable to have a long-term investment. I am happy to report that we are under contract and that we should be closing in a few weeks. Levi has worked his buns off on this 4 month project! He did the majority of the work himself, had a little help with finishing the basement and help from brother-in-law Clair with electrical work. It is so nice being married to such a handyman. If anyone out there needs help with home improvement/renovation projects, feel free to give us a call! Levi did all the tile work you'll see and also cut the granite that is in both bathrooms. Anyway, here are the picts of this cute little 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. (Sorry, some of the notes aren't by the pictures very well. I've been working on this post for an hour and a half and am tired of playing with the way it looks. When I upload pictures it is now showing as text and it makes it very hard to work with - any idea how I can fix this?)



Before and after of the ouside. We didn't do too much. Just gave it a little TLC. Levi made the shutters.












Kitchen before and after. Much cleaner and cuter! Levi did all the tilework.



Main floor family room. Levi refinished the hardwood floors throughout the main.













Main floor bedroom. Nice paint, huh!













2nd bedroom on main.













Main floor bathroom. Wow, what a difference!



Stairway to downstairs. Not quite the green I would have chosen:)




Downstairs family room. Levi opened up two rooms to form the large family room. He also had to cut out larger windows in the family room and bedroom to meet code.















This was the scariest place in the house before. This room, (I think Silence of the Lambs was filmed here) became the 5th bedroom in the house. Much more inviting, don't ya think?













And this is the downstairs bathroom. It really changed the house to finish the basement. Levi did such a great job on everything!! There is also an upstairs loft-type area with two bedrooms. It was already in good condition and had been done recently when we bought the place so Levi just did a little touch-up paint and we called it good. The house also has a nice size backyard with two sheds. It really turned into a nice house and we enjoyed working on it. Hope you enjoyed the show!
