Previewing Our Fixer-Upper and Imagining the Possibilities

JANUARY 10, 2015

In October of 2014, we put an offer on a major fixer-upper in New York, receiving the deed and keys in early January of 2015. The house is an 1839 farmhouse that was converted into a three-family apartment. We paid $28,000 for the house, so you can imagine the work that needed to be done. Below starts our journey of buying our fixer-upper and rehabbing the house into a home!

Since the house was converted to a three-family a couple decades before we bought it, the layout and purposes of the rooms changed. Below, are the pictures from our first walk-through of the house with what the rooms became.
