House Flip Story: Hamilton Ave – Update 6

Mmmmm Mmmm Good. That’s what Hamilton Ave is…Mmmmmm Mmmm Good. We’re coming to the final stages on this old beast and this house flip in Baltimore City is starting to look like a beautiful swan. One wonders (<-- love the way that sounds) what this house must have looked like the day its proud new owners stepped into it when it was first built many many years ago. I have to believe the house of today is FAR, FAR grander than that of yesterday.

This place is friggin’ magnificent in every way. 4 Beds / 3 Full Baths of huge city living. Big rooms, modern layout, high ceilings, dripping with molding, big back yard…this rehab  at Hamilton Ave truly has it all. Put this house in Canton, MD -- wait, it’s way too big to fit in crappy and cramped Canton. Put it in Howard County, MD and it would cost $800,000 easy.

  • Bueller..............I feel so lonely
  • Sorry, Big Nick! I replied above.
  • awesome video! I can't seem to figure out how to shorten my videos yet :)

    I love crown molding and it looks great in that house. Do you have a post you can direct me to that you discuss some strategies behind crown molding, like do you put it in all rooms, just the rooms you try to add visual appeal too or maybe just the master bedroom?

    If not, maybe you wouldn't mind answering that here for me, I'd love to know your input on that.
  • Sorry for the tardy reply, Nick. I'm usually much snappier on the return. Great questions. I usually put crown, chair and picture frame molding in areas on the first floor. It's all about eye-pop and catching them when they walk through the front door.

    In the house that I'm currently doing on Hamilton Ave, I also added some crown to the master, but that was only to finish the coffered-ceiling. (Wait until you see what we do there!!). Everyone thinks molding is so crazy expensive. Next time you're out at Home Depot - check it out. It's really not that bad.
  • I asked b/c I noticed one of the pics had some. I've always loved crown and chair molding. Wainscoting is another favorite of mine, typically in the bathrooms though of course. Thanks for reply, even if it was 10yrs after the fact :)
