This reinvented Ranch on Staunton St. in Afton Oaks has had a little work done since the last time it was on the market — way back in April of last year, at around $400K cheaper than its current price tag. That American colonial look is gone, wrapped by layers of stucco and Hardie panels and a new standing-seam metal roof. Other nips and tucks for the 60-year-old include a ceiling lift, a new fixed-in-place fenestration program, and a few hundred sq. ft. of additions.
A couple before-and-after comparisons for the 3-bedroom, 2,688-sq.-ft. redo:

Also included: a built-in mosquito retirement system and a closed-circuit security camera for your front door. All just showed up on the market yesterday, for $899,500.

It’s sill a teardown. Now just a more expensive teardown.
still. This site needs an edit function.
Ahhhh yes….what a tear down it is Ms Miserable. Hate On!!!!!
At first I went “wha…?” but in looking at the pictures (except for the front elevation, maybe,) it’s actually pretty cool. Seems expensive for its size, but I guess that’s Afton Oaks.
I like the redo. The kitchen is nice. The rest of the rooms are bland, but as selling point that is good. It’s a blank canvass for color.
The exterior, yuck. Bland and cheap. Interior, not so bad. Not sure it’s all worth $400K regardless.

Sorry Hater, but have you driven through this neighborhood lately. The redo is nice, but that isn’t going to fly in that neighborhood.
And hate and tears have place in real estate.
no place.
with the pricing of the remodel it will be standing for a while still, but whomever buys it will definitely be looking at the lot size to determine what they can replace it with or certainly what the next buyer can do with the lot.
“Also included: a built-in mosquito retirement system”
Nice of them to take care of the mosquitoes in their old age.
Maybe somebody will appreciate the mature trees that a remodel leaves in place. I am not usually a fan of stucco but it suits the contemporary nature of the update.
I agree with you KC! Maybe they can get a ‘green’ tax credit!
Attention all ticketed passengers, please proceed past the large aircraft viewing windows and enter door A or door B to Bedroom Hangar 3. Thank you for flying Inner Loopy Airlines.
The exterior had character and style before – after is cheap-looking and bland. Interiors are nice except for the hermetically sealed windows.
I couldn’t live in a house with windows that don’t open.
I actually love the redo. Very cool. The landscaping is still more appropriae for the previous style. And I agree that replacing doors with non-opening windows is a bad choice. The interior Home Depot doors also don’t match the style, should have gone for minimalist slabs. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t have given it a second look before and now I actully love it
Hopefully, the exterior will age well. All of the landscaping looks like it’s relatively new in the pictures. The whole house has this unsettling “fresh out of the box” look.
I’d like to know what the neighbors think/thought.
I’d spend all my time in the garage apartment. Man cave-a-rama time.
For some reason, I don’t groove on marble flooring. If I was dog, I’d love it. For some reason, I reflexively think I’m in a bathroom when I’m surrounded by that much marble. At my age, that’s not a bonus.
I’d like to know what the rehab cost. Any builders out there willing to guesstimate?
And I think there may be a market for it among the well-heeled and childless.
Awesome, much better to renovate than to demo.
Boring, blah, bland, sterile, OVER-PRICED as hell, I can’t imagine how boring the people are that live in such a boring, personality-devoid home. I mean it’s not 1988 people! It’s horrible, WAY Better before in every way. What a sick/sad waste of good money.
What a disaster! Took a charming (yes small) house with character – great brick, beautiful treas, hardwood floors – and turned it into a U-Totem. Looks like they had to remove some of those great treas to expand? And the price?? For 100K more you can get SO much more and much less sterile. And what is up with the 2 story garage? Tavesty……………..
Looks like both backyard trees survived. The back yard before and after pics are taken from different positions, but you can see the 2nd tree from the 2nd den photo.
