I think it was our company Christmas party when a friend and co-worker gave me an article she had clipped for me from the Chronicle. She said, "This totally sounds like something you would be interested in...."
Ummmm... yep!
In all of my free time (yes, sarcasm intended!) I plan other little projects that I'd love to be involved in... And here it was... in black and white! Something I'd LOVE to do, but have absolutely NO qualifications for!
I took their description from their website:
"Mint Condition Homes, LLC is a boutique, design focused, community driven urban redevelopment company that transforms bank owned properties into quality, affordable housing.
Our homes are located in Oakland, California and are carefully selected for the historic integrity of their existing structures and their potential for creating economic stability within their neighborhoods."
So basically, they take neglected, bank owned houses, re-model them with their historical integrity in tact, (sometimes replacing features lost over time,) and they do it all as environmentally friendly as possible. They also make a point of trying to keep down costs so that when they go to market the houses are still affordable!
(If I could do something like this I'd love to add the option of selling the houses furnished.... )
Please check out their website... MINT CONDITION HOMES...
You will be amazed!
