Sharing our Pre-Renovation Home
Last June, we moved into our new home in Gainesville, Florida. While house-hunting we had some options:
- Purchase a move-in ready home at the top of our budget.
- Purchase a home that needed a few renovations at the middle of our budget.
- Purchase a home that needed extensive renovations at the bottom of our budget.
To get a customized appearance, we opted for #3: a fixer-upper. These are the original photos of our home {actually from the real estate listing}. When we initially saw the listing online, there was something about it that I really liked. It was originally 1900 square feet {we added another 360 square feet} and it is on .3 acres of land. There were some features we really loved, like the real wood floors in the main living space and huge spa tub in the bathroom, and some things that had to go, like the entire kitchen and the screened-in patio. As we complete our renovations, I will add more posts that show you the completed look room-by-room. For now, enjoy the before photos!
