300 Quackenbos St NW- New Rehab, Sort of

We purchased this house several months ago, but after several delays (some within my control, most not) we're finally picking up speed. The house was an estate sale and needed pretty much everything. We have the drywall up and primed, so this upcoming week will be huge- we're putting in all the paint, tile and hardwood floors.

Here was what it looked like when we bought it. I wish I had a better picture of the ridiculous columns on the front porch, but I can't seem to locate one.



Here's the new front porch. It's much more modern and functional.



Inside, we've put in all new trim and windows. I used Low-E windows because we're working hard to make all of our projects more environmentally-friendly.



This is the view from the front door looking in to the kitchen. I actually already bought the kitchen cabinets- they're a beautiful blonde color. You used to have to go onto the porch to access the basement, but we relocated the steps to make the basement more accessable. The basement will be finished and has 2 BR's and 1 BA.

It's a shame what you did to it. Too bad you don't know anything about bungalow housing as an architectural type. Those "ridiculous" columns are typical of the style, and common to many other houses in the broader neighborhood, which had you looked around, you would have seen.
