Before & After 101-Year-Old Mansion Transformation
/ Johnny YoussefThis one is, so far, the largest house I have worked on! Here are some facts about it:
Built in 1921
Over 5300 square foot
8 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms
Ran as an elderly caregiving facility (aka nursing home) for decades
Left abandoned for at least 12 years
The original owner’s name was John, from Virginia, and moved exactly 100 years before I, Johnny, moved from Virginia. Little bizarre!
The main objectives are to:
Completely demo and clean out the property
Convert the property from a nursing home to a duplex (separate in-laws on the third level)
Take out the kitchen from the basement (barely a kitchen) to the main floor
Open up the walls as it’s currently broken into too many small bedrooms
Save and restore the wood trim on the railing, original front door, and fireplace mantle
Completely update and rehab the property with a high-end kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and more!
