WEBUUY has what we call the Big 5: roof, HVAC, foundation, electric and plumbing. 2157 Clinton failed them all and more. Four layers of shingles topped the house (and you can’t get insurance with two layers of shingles). The plumbing was old cast iron and had leaked and damaged the subfloor in some places. The electric service was old and limited. The HVAC was inoperative. The garage was beyond redemption and had to be pushed down at the outset of the renovation. The wood windows were rotten along with rot on the exterior siding.
Still, WEBUUY saw 2157 Clinton had good bones. The floor plan made sense with a large, dine-in kitchen and large living room. The large bathroom made sense and was shared by both bedrooms. Once the big repairs were made to the house, neutral paint choices & subway tile were used to finish and these were complemented with stainless appliances & hardware. A new privacy fence was added and stepped off the alley by 25′ for rear parking. The outcome: an new look for the existing floorplan to modernize this home.
