Completing the "Mass" House

2408 SE Massechusets
This is a far cry from the blue bungalow we bought in November isn't it! We had A LOT to do, but now it is done and I can say quite proudly even, it is stunning! The kitchen boasts custom cabinets and faux granite counter tops, stainless sink and lighting, and a beautiful 16x16 ceramic floor. I personally love the look of this kitchen! In the living room/dining room we obviously cleaned up and the new windows really made a difference in here, along with that "new smell" of carpet and fresh paint comes with it! We also added a tile entry way. New stainless and frosted glass light fixtures and a ceiling fan, it's a big one too, it's really moves air! I love that you can open up the windows on either side and turn the ceiling fan on and get that great cross breeze going! It is so filled with light, it's a very "friendly" room.
The bathrooms are so luxurious now! They are tiled and clean and new and fresh paint colors, I really think those new showers would be great to wake up in! They have new everything in them!
The basement is the biggest transformation we made, we took a dark basement and turned it into a light and bright family room, laundry room and study space. Can lighting on dimmers makes it easy to set the mood. Sound like an infomercial yet? Well, if you have ever watched "Flip That House" you know that in California this house would bring a cool half-mill. In Topeka, we are hoping to get about $102,000. Our friends, the Markhams, and us have put in so much work we feel like it's worth closer to the half mill, but you know, we'll let it go to a good family for the 102!
Obviously the sale of this adorable cottage-like home is going to bring us that much closer to our recovery from the flood. We are having an open house next Saturday, and it's listed with Larry Markham at Land Kansas.
