We began demo on our new project on February 16th. We are very excited about this house because it has a lot of potential to go from dysfunctional to functional and sytlish. It is a large home with about 3000 sq. ft including the basement. There are lots of bedrooms but some are being converted to bathroom/closet space. In the end, we expect to create a 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom house.
Our plans for the house include:
- Energy Star windows
- Refinish original hardwood flooring
- Bamboo flooring in other areas without original hardwoods
- Create a master suite with a jacuzzi tub, fancy shower, and a large closet
- Add bathroom to top floor deemed the "atrium bathroom"
- Low flush toilets throughout
- Energy star lighting and fans
- Open up entries to main floor rooms
- A stunning kitchen with cinnamon colored Cherry cabinetry, Stainless steel Energy Star appliances including a hood over the oven, and installed trash/recycling center.
- Updated bathrooms
- Industrial-style wet bar in basement
- Theatre-ready room in basement
- Work-out room in basement
- Wine cellar
- Energy Star washer and dryer
- New 95% efficient furnace, air conditioner, and water heater
- Landscaped yard - front and back
- New roof on detached garage and motion sensored lighting.
We've got lots to do but the transformation will be amazing. We expect to complete this project in roughly 3 months. Keep checking back for updates and pictures. If you know anyone looking for a house in Denver...send them a link to this blog so they can check it out.
