We acquired the home from the Detroit Land Bank Authority after three months of negotiation. The house was slated for demolition after being vacant for more than 15 years and having running water in the basement for an  undetermined amount of time.

We started this project by fully gutting everything down to the studs. We had to do some major work as both dormers failed causing major water damage.

We fully rebuilt both dormers to the house to make way for two bathrooms. The house was reconfigured to create an open floorplan on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor.

We installed all new drywall after our new mechanicals and spray-foam insulation. This project was unique in that we had all of the corners rounded.

We decided to be bold in this house and paint the first floor all black, including the ceilings. We thought it made for a moody, dramatic vibe in the home.

This house features beautiful, custom oak trim and floor-to-ceiling cabinets.

This house was listed for one week, before we accepted an offer.
