The Eagleridge House

One of our favorite houses that we've lived in was our Eagleridge House.  It was in West Chester, Ohio.  It was built in 1987, and was a 3200 square foot house with a finished basement and two stories.  One of the negatives being that the laundry was in the basement and the bedrooms were all on the second floor! This house had a swimming pool when we moved in, but did not last long.  We had it pushed in a few months later.  The exterior was faux stucco and cedar trim, both of which were rotting.  We changed the exterior to fiber cement siding and new windows.  Inside the house, we replaced all of the flooring and remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms.  We switched the kitchen and dining room to make a more practical, open floor plan.  This was also the house that was on the DIY show, Renovation Realities.  That made for a very interesting week of remodeling with cameras in our faces and people watching everything we did, waiting for us to mess up so they can air it on national TV.  Remodeling this house, and even just living in this house, was all a blur.  It was a crazy 18 months, but worth every minute.

Can't find the before picture, but this used to be the cramped laundry room.  We turned it into a drop zone for the kids backpacks and jackets.

    1. It was a pretty big task. We had to move all of the plumbing and electrical, we got all new cabinets, removed a wall and put in new flooring. Brandon did the plumbing, but because of time we ended up hiring out the electrical. I'm going to be posting about each project as we do them on the next house. Good luck with the new house!
