Moffett Lane

Finally, another post…and I’m so glad I get to share another FINISHED project. This is another one that has been a long time coming. We bought this house is September 2018, sight un-seen, at the Sheriff Sale. I had been watching this house as it’s not far from where we live and wanted it SO BAD. It was a cute little limestone ranch that needed a lot of TLC. My husband, Josh, wasn’t so excited about it. He told me over and over again that he wanted nothing to do with it. However, he was at the Sheriff Sale the day it was up for auction. He bid on it and ended up buying it. I was SHOCKED. I didn’t think he would. We had to hold on to this one for awhile before we could get started on it because we had so much else going on.

Josh went through it on his own first and took a video to show me. That is the ONLY “before” photos that I have. I had to get the “before” photos from the video which means they aren’t great at all. So disappointing because we did A LOT of work to this one. But, you’ll get the idea.

The most beautiful thing about this house is the property that came with it. The house sits on almost 3 acres and is absolutely gorgeous, rolling pasture. However, now that the house is finished it is gorgeous as well. I love how the design of this one turned out. NO COOKIE CUTTER on this one. Some major highlights include converting the attached garage into a master suite complete with vaulted ceilings, a luxurious bathroom and walk in closet; vaulting the ceilings in the living room; opening up the floor plan and finishing the basement. This house is basically brand new. New roof, windows, doors, siding, decks, HVAC, waterproofed basement, septic, electrical, plumbing and every cosmetic feature there is. I’m so excited to show off the final result, so here you go!

VIEW FROM THE FRONT DOOR BEFORE:

As you can kind of see in this picture, there was a wall completely separating the kitchen from the living room before.

KITCHEN BEFORE:

It is hard to see, but the kitchen as very small, dark and covered from top to bottom with stuff.

KITCHEN AFTER:

Peek that amazing view!!

“DINING ROOM”/BREEZEWAY BEFORE:

This was a breezeway between the house and garage that we turned into the dining room. You can see it previously had an exterior door as well.

 

DINING ROOM AFTER:

I am in love with this chalkboard barn door I made for this house. This separates the dining room from the mudroom/back entryway.

Which became the master bedroom….

MASTER BATHROOM:

More barn doors that I made for the master bedroom into bathroom…. are you ready? I LOVE THIS BATHROOM!

BEDROOM 2 BEFORE:

As you can see, there was A LOT of stuff left behind…many dumpsters needed for this house.

HALL BATH BEFORE:

HALL BATH AFTER:

Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the basement before. However, it was SCARY. The floors were extremely uneven, there was a concrete shower like you’d see in a horror movie and it also had an old cistern that still had 3 feet of water in it. And, as we always seem to do with basements, we had the entire thing waterproofed, so the future owners never have to worry about a wet basement.

BASEMENT AFTER:

First time doing stamped concrete floors in a basement. They turned out awesome! 

HERE’S THAT KITCHEN VIEW:

 

This house also had an oversized, detached two car garage in the back which isn’t pictured as well as an amazing back deck overlooking the beautiful back yard/pasture.

This house didn’t last long on the market and I am so excited for the new owners. They will have horses out on that rolling pasture soon!! I hope they enjoy this house and love it as much as I have.
