Buying a Fixer Upper - Before And After Shots

When my client purchased this Palm City fixer upper it had not been touched in over ten years.  Once a modest retirement home with just two bedrooms, dated kitchen and overgrown landscaping, it was ready for a makeover.  The buyer, a cabinet maker by trade, invested about $20,000 and several months of sweat equity to create a comfortable three-bedroom home that a first time home buyer would find appealing.

Renovations included a new third bedroom, laundry room and remodeled bathrooms. A driveway and lawn was installed and the entire property landscaped.  It is presently rented until the market recovers.
