This renovation of a house built in the 1940's brought new life to a prominent corner of an inner city neighborhood. The house had stood vacant for over 20 years when the new owner invested in the area. The shiplap interior wall siding was removed and milled and then used to replace the oak flooring on the first floor that had been destroyed by termites. Some of the cabinet pieces were fabricated from the old door jambs. The existing doors and door hardware was refinished. New windows, new building systems, all new finishes, and new landscaping complete the transformation of the duplex into a single family residence with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and three living spaces that respects its past and its place in the neighborhood.
