1709 Ruxton- Done

We finally finished this project a few weeks ago, and it looks great. Actually, there are still a few things left to do (set the A/C compressor, run a gas line to the stove), but we'll probably just do them after we have a contract on the house. Overall, this house was a success, and we've gotten some great responses from interested buyers. I think this house hasn't sold yet (it's only been on the market about 20 days) because of the problems people are having finding financing. However, I'm optimistic it will sell in the next two weeks or so.

Here's the first thing you see when you walk in the front door. We were able to refinish the wood on the stairs, which came out really well.

Here's the front of the house. We added the siding around the front windows and painted the awning. I'm not a huge fan of the awning, but buyers seem to like it. It's gotten a ton of positive comments.

Here's the kitchen. It probably looks pretty familiar, because we've put the exact same kitchen in our last five rehabs. Why fix something that isn't broken?

Another shot of the main floor:

This is the new bathroom we added on the first floor. We were able to fix a pretty large shower in a room that had previously been a coat closet.

This is the master bedroom. I love how big the bay windows are in the old rowhouses. It really lets in a ton of light.

Here's the vanity in the master bath. We splurged on a slightly nicer vanity than normal, and I think it was definitely worth it.

Here's the back bedroom. These floors were in terrible shape and we had to use a lot of wood filler to get them put back together. After the stain, though, you can't even see it.

You might notice that this house looks very similar to the houses we completed at 2413 W. Lanvale and 635 Bentalou. It's got the exact same kitchens, jacuzzi, tile, floor stain, etc. Although we love this tried and true design, our two current projects are targeted towards totally different buyers and will have very different finishes.
