I would not have gotten rid of the “overhang”. It offers nice shade from the hot Texas sun. Taking it out would introduce more summer heat. It was not ‘ugly”, and would have been great fixed up, not torn out.
Would've sectioned off the dining area into a bonus bedroom/office and moved the proper dining more toward the entry. It's a beautifully done house, but the space feels unoptimised and a bit cavernous
i would’ve done the same thing the entry way is basically just wasted space. they even said it themselves “nobody’s going in here.” unfortunately i don’t think that sentiment has changed from just knocking down a couple of walls.
Well, there's probably more light in the house now because that patio cover's gone, but now they're gonna need 5 or 6 umbrellas and a misting system, so they don't burn up on that patio. But there are two giant trees in the backyard that might provide some shade.
The old one was no good. the new owners will be able to build a new one of their liking and make it perfect for their families! all about perspective :)
I actually like that they took off the shade to bring more light to the house. Plus, the house has plenty of shade from the trees that are already there.
What do you think of the new trend where folks want more closed off spaces? After covid and working from home, folks are wanting more closed off office space and complain that the "all open" space with kitchen noise disrupts the entire house? Builders here in GA are heading back to traditional spaces with formal dining turned into flex space and the front living rooms with added french door options. Still open in the back of the home but giving folks spaces away from family/cooking noise. I have been in RE since the late 90's and its always funny how trends come and go. Like White kitchens. I remember when I couldn't sell a house with white cabinets! I hear the trend of white kitchens is heading out and that Gray is totally out and beige is back. lol It's like fast fashion in the housing industry!
Me likes the grey but hate the open, one-glance-and-you've-seen-the-whole-house look. I've been blessed with a house with formal living, dining, AND study, with a kitchen open to the living room.
We lived in a house for 28 years that was cut up and closed off. Felt suffocating to me. Retired and built a new home with high ceilings and open concept, with bedroom/office flanking the main area. Absolutely love it! Perfect for a retired couple.
I agree with the comments regarding the all weather porch this could have been made in to a screened in porch and lighting could have solved the light issue
I'm not American but I like your way of renovating houses. It gives new life to the house as if it is giving it another chance at life after it lost hope. It gives the viewers a sense of refreshment. Thank you and I look forward to the next one.
@@mattbosley3531 I love riotous color---anything but a neutral. To each his/her own. That's what makes the world an interesting place. But they have been on a gray kick for a long time. I find it depressing.
I would have kept the roofing over the patio, considering how hot it is there most of the year and that it will keep getting hot in the future, a covered patio would have been a good long term investment....
My entire family absolutely hates the obsession with dark grey/black paint inside and out. If purchasing the home, it would be the first thing to be redone.
Good job, yet again. I live in Australia, we don't have pull cords on our ceiling fans, we install fans with a remote control or a dial on the wall. You could have left the alfresco/verandah roof on and used laser light with corrugated roofing to allow the light in but the weather out and allowing the space to be all season. There are also skylights for use in dim places. Well done with the separate toilet, privacy is appreciated at vulnerable moments.
I always wonder what they are thinking when they take the roof off verandahs/patios. Here in Australia is too hot and not sun wise to leave it without a roof. My patio has a high ceiling and fans for better all year round usage. Beautiful renovation though as usual :)
The bare bulbs in the light fixture are not kind on the eyes. We moved into a house that has exposed bulbs in most of the light fixtures. It hurts the eyes. I’m looking forward to changing them out.
Nelly is an adorable little dog 😍 The Mother-in -law suite was a nice added bonus to the house, but I would’ve left a pergola on at least the longer straight half of the porch
For a large/potentially multi generational house it’s a pity you didn’t keep the front living area seperate. Personally I would have closed off the entry formal dining and turned it into a study, and closed off the front living area as a media/sitting room. This with the changes you made in other areas would have given the flexibility a large family needs, whilst modernising the space.
Mother in law suite? You missed an opportunity to add bench, hand held shower and pretty grab bars for security….a real must for folks as they get older. Pretty, but I’m not sure I would want it. Sad the porch covering is gone. It’s need in Texas
Surprised by the low profit on this one but I must say again that the number of "commercial and promo" breaks in your recent videos is really getting out of hand - at what point would you say it has reached capacity?
As a buyer I would love a large patio cover and hot tub. But as I know nothing about flipping houses I understand why you removed them for the potential buyers
Love your videos! My only critique on this one is that there is a little too much white, for me personally, in the kitchen. I think a dark countertop would’ve popped more and carried with the other dark accents throughout the rest of the house. Overall it’s beautifully done, the bathroom tile and new layout are my favorite parts.
4 bedroom house and not enough room for everyone to sit and watch the TV also a 2 seater breakfast table for a large house, not the best use of the space
@hallmarkridingponies you're right. The living room is too small and all the space by the front door is wasted. It might be better to swap the living and dining room spaces, which a buyer could do.
I think they should have moved the entrance to the bedrooms, so the living room wall would be bigger and give more space for more seating and the entrance would not be so big and wasted
Back that far in 82 builders didnt use concrete board or waterproofing. They just installed tile right on top of plywood. Especially if it was a trac home builder. I think that custom builders started using concrete board around to the mid to late 90s. Even houses actter that you can still run into install on plywood. If you go in a house and the tiles are cracked no backer board
spends the first half of the video dragging 1980’s owners for their features and designs then literally designs the entire house to be “on trend” 😂😂 omg in 30 years all this white and black and grey will be just as aged as the floral curtains! try to do more timeless and classic design than running to modern and trendy
It's okay, Lauren. I'm afraid of walls too 😂 In all seriousness, it seems like most renos go open-concept exclusively, but the issue, I find, is that older home layouts block out so much natural light. You end up with a lot of dark rooms like in this house. I lived in an open concept house once that was on an angle to the sun. If it had been an older layout like this place, it would have been so dark and dreary! Congrats on expanding into Dallas 🎉
@@dao8805It's a house. Whether selling a flip, or a house you live in, it's better to not personalize it. This house will have "soul and character" when it sells and the new owners make it their home.
From someone who has bought, remodeled and moved (sold) over many years, and is NOT in the business of buying/renovating and selling ... I like the renovation. If I joined homemade, I'd be sure to take the advice of Austin Flipsters. The floorplan, with two ensuite masters is perfect whether extended family shares a home, use as a guest suite, office ... anything, anyone. While a shaded deck is always nice, the old one looked to be a poorly done diy project and made the house really dark. Taking it down opens up the deck, yard and house and new owners can do whatever they want. The staging is just enough to give potential buyers ideas and see their own furniture in place. There are open spaces, like at the front windows that could be a cozy reading space, or .... . The paint, tiles and flooring are neutral enough for new owners to add their own furnishings, and colorful enough to keep it from looking like a bare bones flip. Good work!
Microwave over the stove is so cheap looking. If you replaced the cabinets you could have given it a separate space. Adding a powder room in extra living space would have been good.
Sorry, but again you failed to install a handheld shower system in at least one of the three bathrooms! To have only fixed, wall-mounted showerheads is very old-school and does not do much for a nice showering/bathing experience. Also, the kitchen appliances are totally boring and just the usual set-up. Microwave above the stove top is outdated now, too!
I love Nellie, she's a sweet looking dog. If I were the mother-in-law being offered the out of the way bedroom I'd jump at it. Part of the family but not part of the hustle and bustle of the getting to school and other hectic times. Looks great to me.
Would have closed dining room into an office and used wasted front space as the formal dining. Main bathroom- remove corner cupboards to make a walk in and walk through to the en-suite. Otherwise it looks good
i do love your vids however, i wish you guys were a bit more positive when doing the initial walkthroughs. its very "making fun of" type energy. these homes were once lived in and probably loved. i dont know, maybe im just nit picking the nit picking
I like the floors. I like the deck. I do not like the stacked tile look. I think that’s too trendy and will go out of style very quickly. But that’s just my opinion.
Gotta admit that as a reader I would completely discount this house. I know open comcept sell but give at least a couple good walls for built-in bookcase. Like other commenters said closing in the old dining area as an office and moving dining i to the origi .living room made way better since and create less wasted space. Wish some of the covered outside space could have been kept
The living room space looks like an afterthought. It's more of an awkward pass through. That space should have been used for dining. The living room should have been at the front where it looked like there was more space.
Awww, Lauren! You don't like the Deep Space 9 chandelier in the "dining" area? 😊😆😂🤣😅😁 The old hot tub would make a kitchy theme planter for the air b&b, imho.😂😂😂 You didn't mention that you had a built in Tardis in that first bathroom, either. 😊😮😊 Lincoln, that was one of Cthulu's many interstellar/interdimesional offspring hiding in the tub's drain.
The house turned out beautiful but that upstairs bathroom will affect the price. New counter tops inexpensive stick on tile floors spray paint the bath tiles
Did you leave those sliding doors? A set of French doors wouldve looked so much better. Oh, and why in the world did you remove the Overhang? I would have opposed that decision had I been the homeowner
Personally, this is a miss for me - I dislike the use of the space. I'd turn the dining room into a bedroom or spare room, the entrance random chair and table area could be a separate office. The breakfast nook could be the dining area, and the access to the laundry and other bedroom is very odd. The staging is really odd, small furniture for such a big space. Sitting in the living area for just a few people. I do love the main bathroom, looks beautiful!
I'm not from America and one thing that always strikes me about your videos is that it goes straight from the front door into the living area. I also like big open spaces, but where am I going to put all the shoes and jackets for a family and any visitors. I also don't want to have all the dirt in the living room every time the kids walk through with their shoes, it's muddy in winter, my dog comes in or guests have to cross the house to hang up their jackets somewhere else. Or am I wrong and there is a wardrobe that is just never shown? Something similar bothers me about your wardrobes. It's great that you have a whole room for it, but should the three wall shelves be enough for all my clothes? Especially as I don't even have a wardrobe in the entrance for my winter and summer jackets etc. or is it intended that I build a proper wardrobe in the rooms myself after buying the house? Apart from that, the houses are always very modern and nice, but it's a shame that you never get to keep the nice furniture! :D
It's totally common there. I dislike it as well, even more so as most people in the USA do not tend to wear house shoes or will not remove their street shoes when entering the house. Very strange habit, indeed. More luxurious homes with much more space do oftentimes offer a mud- or bootroom. But that is considered very high-end.
Yeah, I also don't like that they don't have space for outdoor shoes and coats. Some homes (esp the 2-storey ones) have a coat closet or mudroom. In the HGTV renovations (esp Love it or List it), some homeowners specify the need for a mudroom when renovating or buying a house. I guess if you bought this house, you could make changes to the entryway, like add a coat closet & shoe rack. (I also remove my shoes upon entering a house. Most Americans don't do so.)
This is a slightly older style house from maybe the 60s. Houses built after the 80s had more side entrances from the garages, and there is usually some coat closet there. But these older houses are smaller and they want to make the rooms look bigger, so now they sacrifice those front closets. I think a lot of people don't really mind and just keep their outside stuff in their room.
oh boy, can't say I would buy that place because of the saline in the water. We have that and it cost us a fortune for a RO system and softener for the shower. Just avoid it. A question that no one is going to think to ask and of course sellers are not going to volunteer that kind of info.
Personally I would not have kept the stacked stone circle around that tree. It's not even a circle. Remove the stone and put in a real circle and mulch. I would also have removed the hedge and just put in a few grasses, and some flowering plants and call it a day. It would be a clean slate for the future homeowner.
People. Please stop using LVP flooring. It is so cheap and doesn’t last. Any floating floor is a temporary floor and they buckle if you put anything heavy on them. Change to a glue down or tile plank option. 😮
Why is the video so long??? I needed to fast forward & skip so many blah blah blahs.. I miss the 15-20 minute max videos. Bring back the old fast-paced format please. People have short attention spans nowadays. This might affect your overall viewership. Just a piece of advice.. ✌️ Otherwise, still a great transformation in the end.. ❤

I too would have left at least half of it.
It was ugly and probably a diy that wasn’t properly done just like the bathrooms. No one is telling the buyer they can’t build another one.

I absolutely hate gray. Will be so glad when it goes out of style.
It is out of style but some people don't know it.
It is out of style nobody likes it. It's the generic house flipper style.
Depends on the person. I hate white but like gray. But because white is considered a neutral color it's used everywhere.

Cuts off natural light.

i think removing the covered porch was a bad idea.
Don't you think the walkway and the driveway needed a good power wash, just get all that dirt and mold off?
I would have the the roof where the hot tob was and made it a screened in porch. Love the roof gone over slider lots more light. 👍

I’m so so tired of the grey and white decor. It’s so cold and sterile. I prefer the warmth of wood and the personality some color brings to the party.
They’re not designers and barely real estate professionals. Just talking heads.
I hope Lincoln mentions his height at any point.
Should’ve left part of the awning so that people can chill out there even on rainy days.
Beautiful makeover! Miss the cover on the porch though. It would have been a selling point for me.

Yeah, I also don't like that they don't have space for outdoor shoes and coats. Some homes (esp the 2-storey ones) have a coat closet or mudroom. In the HGTV renovations (esp Love it or List it), some homeowners specify the need for a mudroom when renovating or buying a house. I guess if you bought this house, you could make changes to the entryway, like add a coat closet & shoe rack. (I also remove my shoes upon entering a house. Most Americans don't do so.)
This is a slightly older style house from maybe the 60s. Houses built after the 80s had more side entrances from the garages, and there is usually some coat closet there. But these older houses are smaller and they want to make the rooms look bigger, so now they sacrifice those front closets. I think a lot of people don't really mind and just keep their outside stuff in their room.
All the fun-making is understandable in a way, but gets kinda old & disregards that this was someone's idea of a great space the way it was.
oh boy, can't say I would buy that place because of the saline in the water. We have that and it cost us a fortune for a RO system and softener for the shower. Just avoid it. A question that no one is going to think to ask and of course sellers are not going to volunteer that kind of info.
Personally I would not have kept the stacked stone circle around that tree. It's not even a circle. Remove the stone and put in a real circle and mulch. I would also have removed the hedge and just put in a few grasses, and some flowering plants and call it a day. It would be a clean slate for the future homeowner.
It's rather an unadventurous renovation. It feels soulless, commercial. And the staging doesn't impress. I assume it's all a matter of the budget.
Invest $584K for a 24K return...? Minus taxes?? 🤦🏽♂️
is it paid to take part in their transfer?
If a hot tub has ben like that for that loong it can have a lot of bacteria so dont keep the hot tub
People. Please stop using LVP flooring. It is so cheap and doesn’t last. Any floating floor is a temporary floor and they buckle if you put anything heavy on them. Change to a glue down or tile plank option. 😮
Whatever is in the drain at 9:34 is straight out of The Last of Us, don't touch it!
Nellie is a cutie. And Lincoln is 6’1” so he would know.
I wish they hadn't removed the damn hot tub!
I hate white cabinets! It looks so stark.
Why is the video so long???
I needed to fast forward & skip so many blah blah blahs.. I miss the 15-20 minute max videos. Bring back the old fast-paced format please. People have short attention spans nowadays. This might affect your overall viewership. Just a piece of advice.. ✌️
Otherwise, still a great transformation in the end.. ❤
this one looks clean! :)
