Several Snapshots of the Work at 2424 Freemansburg Avenue

Although the doors upstairs were of solid wood and high quality, they had decades of wear and tear. Now they’ve been restored with new hardware, thus extending their life for decades more.


When the Land Trust first acquired this home the interior was rather dark because it was covered with paneling. That said, the open floor plan had some real potential. The paneling was removed and the exterior walls were insulated. I’ll be happy to post a picture once it’s renovated, but for now, here’s one in the midst of construction…


The backyard of this home was covered with a deck that was in a state of serious disrepair. The deck has been removed and a two-car parking pad has been added. Below is a picture of the backyard after the deck was removed and the step was rebuilt. Again, I’ll post a picture of the completed product when I get a chance!

Photos from the Renovation of 2424 Freemansburg

Like many of the other homes, 2424 Freemansburg has gone through a drastic transformation over the past couple of months. However, since so far only a limited amount of exterior work has been completed, it would be easy to miss it if you drove by. Originally the main living area was covered in paneling and drop ceiling. The walls weren’t insulated and the porch was rotting off the back of the house. In this post, I simply wanted to show some of photos from when the kitchen and the main bathroom were getting rebuilt.
