House Flip Story: Kipling Pkwy – Update 2

This is my little giant. Such a small looking house from the outside, but on the inside it just keeps giving. Kipling has been an enjoyable little retail flip that has really kept me up at night. The layout of this house was nothing short of disastrous, so when I got in there to do my thing -- it really took a great deal of planning to bring the layout up to the 21st century.

I talked about this in previous posts -- when you walk in a house before and just after demo, you need to stop and ask yourself, “Does it work? Does it give the buyer what buyers want in today’s market?”  If it doesn’t, take the time to make sure it does. Do not just trudge on with ordinary. Really pause to think of how you can make the house work better. That’s our job, right?

This house had a smallish kitchen that was completely separated from the rest of the house. It had no flow, no open-airy feeling. The sun room was anything but sunny, the basement was cold and dank, and the upstairs dormer bedrooms were, well, they were dormer bedrooms.

We made the sunroom area the kitchen, the kitchen a bedroom, and one of the dormers became the master. The basement is finished, and the place has a whole new feel. It been transformed from a 3 br / 1.5 ba sleeper to a 4 br / 3 full bath modern marvel

We’re almost done, but check out the progress video below:
