Was this the best idea?

Well, even after all of my renovations, I still ask myself that question at some point during each renovation. That point is now. It does take a good bit of faith to see that this building will be beautiful again. I just wanted draw you into my dilemma and share some of the destruction, I mean, construction shots as of the end of July. Next week, the windows will be in, and we will begin to reconstruct the porch with the ultimate goal of turning it into a glass room. It gets better from here! Walt

763 Gillespie - New Belhaven Listing

It is a rare occasion in Belhaven that you have a chance to buy a large house suitable for a family that has such classic details as 763 Gillespie. This 3200 square foot 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home was renovated in 2008 and was updated top to bottom. From the moment you step onto the 19 X 13 front porch with original Corinthian columns, you have a sense that this house is unique. Most people’s living rooms are smaller than 19 X 13! You enter the house into a 17 x 20 parlor with beamed ceiling and to your right you enter the 22X 15 Living room with the original fireplace. All the rooms in this house are huge. The Kitchen/ Keeping room is totally updated with Granite slab and stainless appliances. There is also a 1000 square foot basement with 10 foot ceilings and 5 windows. You would be hard pressed to find a house of this age that has so much storage space. All in all, the most impressive parts of this house to me are the trim carpentry details and the floors. No one could afford to build this way today. Call me if you would like to schedule a showing. 601-624-7948. Walt Wofford

You've probably heard of some great deals floating around there in the market.  Maybe you've got a friend or a family member who saved thousands on a recent home purchase.  Maybe you watch the papers, and see the news, and you can't believe how inexpensively some houses can be bought because of the current climate in our economy.  Well, this is one of those deals.

List Price - $75,000.00
This house is priced to move, and it probably won't last long.  Please be aware, agent is owner, and because he is he can pull you together a good deal.  Springdale is a three bedroom and has two full bathrooms.  The master has it's own dedicated bath with a shower, and the hall bath has a tub.  The living room is large enough to accommodate all your furniture and the kitchen and dining are combined.  The backyard is completely fenced in and has two gates, one at the back door and one on the side.  The W/D hookups are in the utility room and the carport easily houses two cars with room to spare.

Renovation Continues - "The Hideout"

I know my phone photos won't do it justice, but this basement apartment (which will be below our office at 1104 Jefferson) is going to be amazing.  It will have an open/industrial, loft like feel.  It will be this cool respite from the bustle of the day.  It will a bit of a hideout kind of apartment.  A cool comfortable release from the busy city life.  Perfectly located on the edge of Belhaven - at the intersection of The Heights and Belhaven will be a newly renovated one bedroom executive apartment.  Think of it this way:

  • Clean Lines
  • Exposed Brick
  • Spacious
  • Subterranean
  • Light
It's coming soon...  Come check it out - you may want to stay.
