Westview Bungalow: Our Bungalow in Westview Atlanta

21/04: Won't You be Our Neighbor?

Posted by: Patrick

I have wanted to make this post for a while. A few doors down from us a beautiful old bungalow was recently renovated and it went from being a complete eyesore to being one of the nicest looking houses on the street. Steffi and I had a look in the house before it was renovated, so we have some great "before" and "after" shots. It has a lot of the original details, and the quality of the work is top notch. I think the photos speak for themselves.

The house is for sale, so if you are interested in being our neighbor contact Nia Knowles. There are more photos and her contact info at http://www.flyinside.com/tour.php?id=33178.

Wow! I am always a fan of the before & after, but these are incredible! It looks like there was a lot of care put into rehabbing this place. Good stuff!

OMG...I'm totally moving right now! It would make my family and friends (who live in GA) very happy indeed. Of course, this would mean I'd need to get a job in ATL first. :-\

Wow, I love the exposed wood beams on the ceilings. If we hadn't just bought a house, I would be giving this one a good look.

(Also, I can't remember if I've ever left a comment here or not. I've been a lurker for a while. Really enjoy the blog!)

Wow. What a gorgeous house! I love seeing these places rehabbed rather than torn down.

Oh, WOW, that's amazing! That's my kind of house, I love those new built ins. The whole place is so gorgeous now, really wonderful that they saved it instead of tearing it down.

@ Michelle - all the built-ins are actually original. They just refinished them and moved the one in the kitchen.

Glad everybody enjoys the before and after photos. Jim Kelly (who is the owner/contractor) did an amazing job. We can't wait to get new neighbors. :)

Amazing. It's so nice to see a renovation that keeps the original flavor of the house and doesn't just go the easy route. They so easily could have painted all the woodwork/built-ins and thrown some vinyl siding on the exterior. HUGE props to the person who made the decisions on this one. So tasteful...that house is surely beaming with gratitude!

It's so hard to believe that's the same home. What a fabulous job the renovators did.

WOW. Everything was well done, except the light fixtures. They were off.
Thanks for sharing.

I love this house. My girlfriend and I actually went out there today to take a look at it without our agent because he is on vacation. I need to go inside though!! What do you guys think about the neighborhood and being so close to Ralph David Abernathy Blvd?
