See How a Successful Lifelong Real Estate Agent and Top DC Realtor Renovates His Home
Do you get excited by exploring creative renovation projects? Whether you adore filling your Pinterest boards to plan your next renovation or you can’t stop collecting ideas for home-related inspiration, you might just love this!
Renovating homes is something Ray, the founder of Ray Gernhart & Associates, loves to do. Ray is currently renovating a historic brick home that was built from the Martha Washington endowment. It was one of the first schools for young free African American women after the Civil War, and it went on to serve the public in other ways over the following two centuries.
Historic renovations can have limitations, and due to the structure’s age, they can pose certain challenges. There is also a critical difference between restoring a historic property to preserve it and renovating a historic property. These videos are of renovations, not restorations.
Watch the video below to walk through this home with Ray and to see how this space is being transformed—all while maintaining the nostalgic charm.
Don’t miss the gorgeous Domiziani sinks imported from Italy and the mirror frames made of lava rock. They bring a chic and elegant vibrancy to each bathroom. Also, be sure to catch the fun and surprising design for the main floor half bathroom at the end. You will love it!
When it comes to renovations, the opportunities are endless. As Ray says, “If you’re going to do it, you might as well do it your way!”
Stay tuned to see this home after the renovations are completed!
