See the transformation of our first Haven Home
Haven Homes of Detroit purchased our first home on November 12, 2021 and renovations were complete in January 2023.

























Welcome to our home:
The "Before":


We love the open concept- you can see the front room, dining room, and straight into the kitchen

Kitchen looking into what will be the laundry room and a bathroom on the far left

We LOVE having two staircases in the house, and saw them in a lot of duplexes we looked at. This was the first single-family house we found with a back staircase

We were sold when we walked in the front door, but might have been over-the-moon when we found the treasure that it the 3rd floor! We're going to use this as group/common space once it's finished

Waiting to re-side this house! Who knew it was a thing to "brick" a house with roof shingles that look like bricks

Priority #1 was putting some makeshift weather guards in place. The plywood isn't foolproof, but for the most part is keeping the outside out, and the inside in

This is the "insulation" we found in what will be our laundry room. We haven't found a date on it yet, but it references 1917 in one article


3 stories open over the new stairs Aaron built. The after pictures are going to be crazy! I can't image not being able to see the whole house from the attic/bonus space


Kristen's pretty proud of getting these all up 3 flights of stairs herself
