INTRODUCING THE NEWEST HAYMOUNT HOME - GREENLAND DRIVE

We are so excited to introduce the newest Haymount Home: Greenland Drive. Greenland has an amazing front porch for your sitting pleasure. Add a chair and some sweet tea, and you’ll be ready to relax! The porch was fully replaced and is now sturdy and beautiful richly stained wood. Venture into the back yard and you will have room to roam in the fully fenced space.

Greenland Drive is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home and has been lovingly transformed. It boasts farmhouse styling throughout, including a shiplap dining room and kitchen!

Greenland Drive has been quite a project but a labor of love. This has been the largest project we have undertaken and nearly every surface of this amazing home has been transformed. I will post more before and after photos for you in upcoming blog posts. I know everyone loves to see how far the home has come. I can promise you that we saved this little gem from years of neglect.

The dining room at Greenland is the hub of the home. Centrally located and accessed from the living room, kitchen, and porch, it will be a gathering space for all your friends and family. The attached living room offers ample space to relax and the gorgeous fireplace is a statement piece. We were able to retain the original mantel and add amazing herringbone tile.

Greenland Drive features hardwood floors throughout the living, dining, and bedroom spaces. The kitchen, porch, and bathroom all have ceramic tile. The brand new kitchen features wood cabinetry from our friends in Southern Pines, soft close drawers, and farmhouse style accents. The amazing black pearl granite countertops offer a honed matte finish and accent the beautiful undermount infinity edge stainless sink. Open shelving finish off the details along with beautiful stainless appliances. Did we mention a gas range? Now your culinary dreams can become reality!

Let’s talk about the porch/mudroom. It’s now beautiful - but oh my, it was not. There is now a lovely enclosed laundry closet, a beautiful tile floor, and amazing sitting area. With easy access to the kitchen and dining room, it is now part of the living space of Greenland.

Greenland Drive features a beautiful fully tiled bathroom, complete with pedestal sink and storage closet. The vintage iron soaking tub has been restored and holds the water temperature for so much longer than a plastic tub insert!

There are two bedrooms in Greenland, both of equal size and both have a closet and two windows. Vintage hardware adornes the doors throughout the home and the doors are solid wood. The home features a new roof and windows for maximal efficiency as well.

Living is easy at Greenland and you will enjoy the vintage charm with updated design. We are so pleased with the outcome and believe it is now a home to love. We would be remiss without thanking the amazing guys that helped us with the project. If you need someone to bring your dreams so life, rest assured that they can help you achieve that goal! You can find their information in the “about us'“ tab on our home page! Special thanks especially to Geo Livingston, Darin Halford, Don Armstrong, Colin Sherrill, Justin Haire, Ricky Hair Jr., Dustin Brewington, Clint Suggs, Kevin Williamson and Ron Geddie on this project; y’all are lifesavers!

Greenland is already home to our newest client. She is a brave soul that reached out to us earlier this year and reserved Greenland as her new home - even in a state of mess and chaos. We were so thrilled that she had the confidence in us and were so delighted to find that she loved her new home as well.

Until next time, go on loving your home!

INTRODUCING GLENVILLE AVE - OUR NEWEST HAYMOUNT HOME

We are delighted to announce the completion (or near completion anyway) of the newest Haymount Home: Glenville Ave.  This 1941 beauty features 2 bedrooms and 1 one bathroom and is on a wonderful street in the heart of Haymount.

This project was a shotgun renovation, featuring top to bottom renovations throughout, and it was completed in less than 8 weeks.  We discovered this home and realized that it needed to be brought back to its full potential and could not wait to get moving on making it shine!

Please enjoy this home tour.  Forgive the fact that everything was not perfectly cleaned up (floors still need cleaning and there are a few little things missing like the smoke detectors that are not in and a few missing outlet covers :)  They will be finalized this week.  There is also a shed that is still under construction and will be renovated as well.  Our focus was on the house for now.  Don't worry - over the next few weeks we will be featuring a bunch of blog posts with before and after photos for your enjoyment. 

Normally we stage all our homes to highlight their beautiful potential, but we were not able to do that for Glenville....because we already have clients moving in!  They contacted us prior to finishing the renovations and fell in love with Glenville.  We could not turn them away and they promised to decorate it beautifully and let us come back for pictures; we are excited to see how they make it their home!

We welcome your feedback on Glenville.  Please drop us a line and let us know your thoughts.  What did we get right? What did we miss? Though Glenville was rented before it even hit the market, there is good news in store: we start our next project at the end of the month, so stay tuned!

“House + Love = HOME”

Hope you enjoyed our tour!  Drop me a line and let me know what you think!  Have a great week!

WESTMONT DRIVE GETS A MAKEOVER

Happy Memorial Day!  I hope you and your family have had the opportunity for some fun family time this weekend.  We jumped in the car yesterday and went to Wilmington to watch Terry Sanford (our local high school) compete for a spot in the state championship for baseball.  While we were there, we hit Wrightsville Beach for some sun and waves.  Of course, the kids had a blast and so did Carl and I. 

It has been fun showing off the Westmont house to new clients.  One of the reasons I have enjoyed it so much is that our current clients have decorating taste that is fresh, modern and really fun.  They have been all over the world and have collected many treasures along their path.  Most people that see the home ask me if they can rent it with everything inside of it!  Not only do we appreciate them taking care of our home, but we love how much everyone else is enjoying it.  

I just had to update the site with some new photos of their work.  Although both of them are highly successful in their current positions, I am pretty confident that they could switch to interior design and have a stack of clients waiting.  It's fun o see the same space take on a completely different vibe.

Without further ado, I give you the Westmont Home transformation!  Enjoy this fun photo montage of fun design!

I hope you enjoyed your house tour!  I know I enjoy every minute in this beautiful space!  This home is still available for leasing this July and it is also for sale.  Schedule a viewing today!
