512 Cherokee - The Final Post

This home renovation has been fantastic to watch unfold, and with only some light fixtures to install and some site work to complete—including a new railing at the front steps—this renovation is winding down. This will be our first property on the market, and while the price hasn’t been announced yet, if you’re interested in buying this home, please contact Anthony Ramos of Ramos Realty (anthony.ramos@century21.com or 610-866-7023)! Remember, this home will be sold for below-market value—it’s a rare and unique opportunity.

At this point I’m going to officially stop posting about this house at this renovation blog—the next update will be on the for sale page.

The Many, Many Small Repairs

This is just an example of the many repairs that I don’t usually mention on this blog. Below is a picture of the stairs that connect the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor. Once the stairs are painted, most people won’t realize the extra work that had to be done to the staircase. It’s this level of repair that will make this home a seamless combination of historic and new high-quality materials.

Fresh Paint, New Walls, New Steps, and an Added Window

While I haven’t posted in the last couple weeks about 512 Cherokee, that doesn’t mean the work’s stopped! I think the pictures speak loud enough, so I’ll keep quiet for now.
