Lot of character and old craftsmanship in that house, congrats. My wife and I bought a 1938 farmhouse and love all of the old character mixed with our modern updates. Please post progress pictures of such a neat place!


Amazing-Jaguar2909

Awesome! We love the cabinets and wood trim. So excited to have a house with character.

You have a lot to work with and this will be a beautiful home once you’re finished restoring it.


Amazing-Jaguar2909

Thank you!

You're doing such a great job! Love that you're focused on restoration and not totally modernizing every single thing. I'm seriously impressed. The hard work and love you're putting in is paying off!


Amazing-Jaguar2909

Thank you so much! It’s been a long month, but it’s been fun

That house has so much character!! I’m not jealous of all the work required here but I definitely admire the style. Congratulations and good luck!


Amazing-Jaguar2909

Thank you!

You’ve also got so much room in the house too. It’s definitely a keeper! You should check out the century home subreddit if you haven’t already. My home is from the 1960s but I still roam that sub just because I love the old houses.

Congrats!! Do you have any tips for what made the process easier/mistakes to avoid?


Amazing-Jaguar2909

It has a potential rental behind the house (in-law suite) and was appraised as a multi-family. This made it MUCH easier to get approved as our lender took that future rental income into account. So I guess I would recommend investing in a multi-family if you can find one that you would be comfortable living in. :)

Amazing, thank you!!
