A renovation of three properties will be taking place this spring in Madison, WI. These properties were purchased by a developer who was planning on converting them to condos. However, due to the economic decline in 2008, the project was abandoned. The City of Madison granted monies to a non-profit agency called Common Wealth Development, Inc. to pursue the project.
What is unique about these properties is that they are situated along the Yahara River, which connects Lake Monona with Lake Mendota. It is 14 blocks from the State Capitol and easily accessible through the City by an adjoining bike path. What is also unique is that instead of high-priced condos, they are designated as affordable housing with income restrictions.
Starting from scratch meant the removal of all lead-based paint and siding, plus removal of any asbestos or vermiculite. The framing has been completed by a Youth-apprentice program. Now the trades will take over once the bidding process is completed.
The idea of transforming a dilapidated property into a dream home is somewhat similar to what we do at Premiere Home Stagers. We love working with homeowners on how to position themselves to better accommodate their needs. Whether you are selling or not, why not make your house the home you’ve always dreamed of.
