When I purchased this home, it had not had any updates since it was built in 1978. I installed new HVAC (was baseboard heat and no ac), and mini splits in the basement. I made the basement a place where my son could escape to, and he didn't have to be bothered by me. I refinished the hardwoods upstairs with new flooring throughout the rest of the home. I installed gas just for the stove (I love to only cook with gas). Every surface in this home has been touched with love. I had a fire pit installed just to find a place to kick back at night and know that friends can gather around it. My goal with this home is for it to feel like the low end of luxury and still stay within budget. I love low maintenance but tasteful and useful.
