It took two months but the basement floors were finally excavated and lowered a foot.  The job required 1300 Cubic Feet of earth and concrete be removed by hand and lifted out of the basement via bucket.  Plumbers were called to remove the old cast iron pipes and replace them with new.  Take a look as we walk you through the project at its current stage in anticipation of the next phase.     You can watch the first episode of our adventure HERE.  In the meantime, look for more […]

Remodeling a home is tough but rewarding work.  Our most recent example is the conversion of the original bathroom of our historic  home into a master bath for our bedroom. When our home was built in 1908, the designers included only one bathroom on the main floor.   We did a quick and simple rehab of the bathroom when we purchased the home 12 years ago and it was time for us to do some updates.  So, we got to work with a plan. The bedroom had a long closet […]

I just closed on the sale of this listing in Ogden located at 530 23rd St.  The home was listed the last week in February at an initial list price of $189,900.  The sellers purchased the home a couple years ago and made some improvements during their ownership.  They hoped to be able to use their equity as a down payment on their next home.   Immediately upon listing of the property, we received an offer for $175,000.  Since the property had only been on the market for 12 hours, […]

I just closed on the sale of this home with some buyers.  Located at 659 26th St., this property dates back to 1903 and reportedly was owned originally by the Browning family.  The home sits just a half block from coveted Historic Jefferson Ave.   The home itself has had an interesting life in recent years.  The building was converted into a commercial space which included the owners boarding over windows on the exterior and sheetrocking over them inside.       The upstairs also had been modified to accommodate complete living […]
