Most of these pictures are pre-renovation. You can see what a great house this is already.

We are currently renovating this big house on an oversized corner lot at Shelley Rd and Claremont, in Independence. It has a back patio deck, a beautiful... covered front porch, and even has a white picket fence!

Independence schools, a full unfinished basement, a garage, a car port and 2 additional storage barns! There is also a large stockade fenced area for your equipment.

Living room, deck. Large yard just a short walk up the street from Three Trails Elementary in Independence Schools.

More pictures are coming soon as we get the renovation under way, but don't wait. Drive by and talk with our rehab crew working there during daylight hours. Should be ready for move in by the end of January.
