This home came to us in rough shape, neglected, outdated, and far from reaching its potential. The vision was to turn it into one of the nicest properties in the area, and that meant starting nearly from scratch.

We gutted the house, tearing out the old deck, kitchen, flooring, and trim entirely. From there, we rebuilt with purpose. New lighting and plumbing fixtures went in throughout, and the kitchen was redesigned with a layout that actually makes sense for how people live today, including a new breakfast and coffee nook. What used to be wasted square footage became a functional home office.

Custom 8-foot glass French doors now open into a striking shiplap accent wall, and the entryway greets you with a grand new chandelier and updated railing and spindles, all framed by an abundance of natural light and views out over the golf course.

Outside, we went big. The deck was rebuilt with a two-tone, double-border picture-frame design, and we relocated the stairs to land on a new concrete pad, replacing an awkward layout that once forced a walk around the side yard. In the garage, epoxy flooring and hexagon lighting create a showroom feel for the car enthusiast. In the basement, a well-appointed bar gives golfers a place to bring friends after a round. And out back, we tore out the old tie wall and replaced it with a large, angled limestone wall that opens up the whole backyard.

The result: a home that increased in value by more than $250,000, and a space that works for exactly the kind of buyer or homeowner who'll actually enjoy living in it.

Hi, I'm Alex. I come from a family of entrepreneurs. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to own my own business, and that dream became a reality in 2022. I’m not just a yes man. As an active real estate investor, I can give you suggestions to increase your home’s value if you choose to sell it one day. I’ve built relationships with contractors and realtors, so I can quickly find a trusted resource for whatever you need. I love old Ford trucks, hot sauce, soccer, mini Highland cows, Moscow Mules, skiing, lifting weights, chicken, Adam Sandler movies, cedar, and the smell of freshly cut grass. My favorite projects are the ones that are challenging and out of the ordinary. If you have a unique request, I can make your dream a reality.

"You can really tell how much love and detail went into this silo conversion; the use of space is brilliant and the finishes are top-notch. I was blown away by the creative use of old bowling alley lanes for the spiral staircase and countertops—such a cool, unique feature! " Jena AirBnb Review
