Sweet Detroit Cape Cod-style home under contract, a testament to the value of an HGTV-worthy remodel.
The sum the home was bought for was ten times less than the sale price.
The adorable home still appears to be a terrific value despite the significant price increase. Regarding the incredible makeover of the house, congratulations go to the men from HGTV’s “Bargain Block.”
In September 2020, the 1,364-square-foot, two-story house was sold for a pitiful $12,000, but it needed major repairs. In this situation, “Bargain Block” colleagues Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas intervened.
After their magic was done, they listed it in December 2021 for $119,990. Before an offer was accepted, the house was on the market for barely twenty days.
In the well-liked program, Bynum and Thomas purchase dilapidated and abandoned buildings and turn them into reasonably priced, fashionable starter homes for first-time homebuyers, thus playing a significant part in the restoration of the renowned American city of Detroit.
This charming four-bedroom home, which now has a lot of curb appeal, definitely meets the criteria.
This job was more of a rebuild than a makeover. Complete top to bottom, side to side, and floor to ceiling restorations were performed. The house was refurbished and now appears even nicer than when it was first completed in 1926. All major systems have been replaced.
It now features an open floor layout, with a dining room that showcases the wood floors in the middle, a living room with a bespoke fireplace at one end, and a bright blue kitchen with a breakfast nook at the other. Included in the bundle are also brand-new appliances made of stainless steel.
White walls and double-paned dormer windows make the upstairs rooms feel airy and light.
The second-story rooms, which include a bonus loft area ideal for a playroom, home office, or reading nook, have an asymmetrical elegance due to their gabled roof.
This 3,920-square-foot home is conveniently located near restaurants, retail establishments, and an elementary school, making it the perfect choice for a young family purchasing their first property.
