Just a Quick Pick-Me-Up
This is a pretty neat house that really just needs a good refresh. It does have a couple of issues, such as a hole in the wall on the far side from the pictures. But overall, I think it's still in pretty good shape for being constantly occupied for around a hundred years. Clearly, it's had some additions, but they really don't look too bad. I might have chosen a different design for the carport, but whatever. Anyway, I decided to virtually remove the front porch screening to open things up and create a more welcoming entry. I also removed a lot of the concrete work in the front so it has softer curb appeal, again for a more welcoming appearance. Beyond that, I removed the extended overhang at the front, the chimney (which is likely no longer needed), and just basically cleaned the whole place up with a fresh coat of paint, new roofing, some beefier columns, and added landscaping. I think it came out really well with a sort of Northern feel to it.
