Old School Cool

From what we can discern, this house was originally built in 1921 as a kit home, probably to support the many autoworkers in the neighborhood. Some time ago, the neighboring home burnt down, so the house now stands alone on its own lot, with a vacant lot next door.

We’re excited to start thinking through ideas on how to build out the interior and exterior, as well as plan for the garden and back garden area.

To do:

Interior:

Plan for interior remodel
Attic
Basement
Basement bathroom
Flooring

Exterior:

Gutters and Downspouts

Grounds:

Investigate shed for home office and/or visitors
