Another set of "before" pictures...
In mid-April of 2012, Phil went up to Highlands, North Carolina for Two Holt's final inspection before closing. Oh my, oh my at the work awaiting us! Oh my, oh my at the possibilities awaiting us! It's exhilarating and intimidating all at the same time!
Here's the present entrance to Two Holt. All the shrub and brush directly against the house will be removed. Phil will be scraping and painting the outside of the house very soon. A new roof will be a priority, too. See the long straight side of the house? That actually faces the road. We will be adding a covered screen porch across that side with double french doors leading out to it. That affects my choice of exterior wall color and trim color. The screened porch will mean a lot of trim work facing the road. Exterior color...trim color...roof color...those are our first decisions.
This is the mid-April view from the future screen porch. Hickory Hill road is below and, off in the distance, is Mirror Lake. Oh, what a peaceful feeling in this little community!
As you can see above, the current owners are waiting until closer to the closing date to remove their furniture.
Remember the corner hutch view? Well this is the corner directly across the living room as the current owners have it furnished.
