The house was located at 74 Landgrabb Ave in Sunset Valley right at the base of the hill the stadium is located on. The house over the years had become boarded up and abandoned but even then it never lost it's charm to Andrew. Eventually, Andrew was able to track down the owner of it. He asked to buy the little neglected house and was thrilled when they told him "yes!"
That is when we received a call to see about renovating it for them and their four children. They also asked about it being moved to the larger lot they owned off Pinochle Point. After some final checking of the foundation we were able to move this classic little house they loved and started on the renovations!!!
The Plumb Family requested more bedrooms for their children, a Butler's room, an outside area for Andrew since he is Outdoorsy, room for displaying Savannah's treasures from her travels, and Security from those pesky paparazzi. They also did not want to lose any of the charm this little house had because that is what they loved so much about it. It took time and adding a lot of square footage but we were able to fulfill all their wishes and of course we fully decorated and landscaped as well for this wonderful family.
House Description: It use to be a 2 bed. 2 bath. house.
With a front porch for enjoying summer evenings this classic mission home is both practical and homey.
House now boasts 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
The 1st Floor is an open floor plan which includes, the kitchen, dining area, family room, with a bay window reading nook. Also located on this floor is the Master Suite that has a large bathroom with laundry area, walk out access onto the huge back deck perfect for entertaining, and a Butler's Room with an attached 3/4 Bathroom.
The 2nd Floor features 4 large bedrooms, a loft sitting area, and one full bath with two private toilet rooms.
Decor is more neutral in coloring to allow all the treasures and artwork the family has collected in their travels to stand out and make a statement.
