HIGHLAND HEART RESTORED

This was a homepath home we purchased in May 2012.  It is very well built, has great natural light, a big backyard, and is in a lovely Beaverton neighborhood.  They love me, they love me not was the story of this house until we put some love (and paint and a lot of new stuff) back into it.

It rented the first day on the market at top rental rate for the area. 

Before

View from the kitchen: an ancient hot tub and rotting deck.

A huge pond and waterfall that used to be nice.

A warm greeting from the yucky fireplace when you first walk in.

After

A serene, green low-maintenance yard.

New paint, flooring, appliances, and finishes make all the difference.

Fireplace is clean and the old screen got a coat of silver rustoleum. Fresh and modern!

CEDAR MILL MODERN

We snagged this short sale the day it hit the market. Under the high ick factor was a really cool and solidly-build modern floor plan with vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows.  It sits on a very quiet street with a private backyard, yet Highway 26, Nike, and shopping are within a 1-mile radius. 

New paint, floors, kitchen, bathroom, and landscape upgrade later, make it a comfy new home for our tenant's family.

Before

Yuck! Dated doesn't even start to describe it.

Some deferred maintenance here....

Dingy and dated.

After

New paint, appliances, countertop and finishes make this kitchen clean.

Poured a huge new patio to take full advantage of the quiet yard and overhanging eves.

Fresh new bathrooms.
