Almost Ready

The nearly completed renovation of the Ash House, narrated by Lee!

The Ash House is almost (but not quite) ready for market. Here's a video that shows where we're at today. We're hoping to wrap up all of the annoying little details tomorrow.

We've put a lot of effort and money into this renovation. Because we were so taken by the original charm, our goal was to restore the house to what it once was and honor its architectural spirit, not to redevelop it into something new. Even so, here's what the new owner will get:

• A cleared and clean yard, but the bamboo we took down will continue to need maintenance for a while (This stuff is just hard to kill!)
• A new roof
• New energy-efficient windows and doors throughout
• New appliances, including the kitchen, water heater, and HVAC system
• New flooring throughout (except for the original brick)
• A luxurious soaking tub built by our granite contractor
• Custom shower in the guest bath

All of that will make for a wonderful home in one of the nicest areas of Temple, Texas. It's just a few miles from the medical center, shopping, and the country club.

I invite you to come see it for yourself next Sunday from 1-4PM CDT. You can find out all about the open house on the Facebook event page.
