Pre-Qualified Savings

We secured Invest DSM financing and Tax Abatement eligibility for this project, delivering substantial financial incentives to the new owner.

About the Project

For the last few decades, this two-story Arts and Crafts home was converted and used as a 3-plex investment property. I was approached by the seller to list it for sale. Instead, I made him an offer to buy it and renovate it through the Invest DSM Single Family Developer Program.

The entire home has been refinished, reworked or rehabbed.

Exterior - new -era-specific cement board siding - rehabbe stucco skirt - Roof - Gutters - Windows - Driveway - 2+ car Garage - curb to curb landscaping.

Interior - brand new 3/4 inch hardwoods - designer kitchen - remade and era specific trim package - a true primary suite with a walk-in and dedicated bath. Huge closets in all three bedrooms - New drwyall - full house retexture -

Structural - All new ductwork - wiring (200 amp service) - insulation in walls - foundation wall (north wall) - basement floor with drain tile/sump system - water heater - tuckpointing - and more

Lot's to love about this totally renovated Dutch Colonial in the heart of the historic Drake neighborhood.

Architecture + Design

Before we pick up a crowbar, hammer, or saw, we put our architect and design teams to work. From initial sketches to detailed elevations, floor plans, and renderings, our team collaborates on documents that inform every step of the renovation process.

Explore the elevations, floor plans, and renderings that enabled our tradespeople to transform this property.

Elevations

Our elevations bring out the home's original beauty while refreshing the exterior with modern materials and techniques. The home stays true to its historic charm, while feeling polished and timeless.

Floor Plans

We reimagine the interior of the home, balancing its original character with the expectations and lifestyles of today’s homeowners. We bring out the potential for each living space in ways that optimize livability and structural integrity, while respecing affordability.

Architectural Renderings

Our design team added the final touches to the renderings. Their photorealistic visuals instructed our tradespeople in the proper treatment of proportions, lighting, fixtures, cabinetry, appliances, materials, floorings, window treatments, and textures.
