Tim and Katie Have Done It Again

Tim and Katie, the Fixer Upper Couple from Columbus, OH, have done it again! They have taken an old, neglected house and turned it into a beautiful home for a new family.

When you are ready to see an incredible transformation, scroll down to see the before and after photos from the “Linwood Cottage.” 🤩

How Do Tim and Katie Work Their Magic?

Katie and Tim have the skills for finding the right house in the right neighborhood (Tim) combined with a terrific eye for design (Katie.)

Tim is constantly on the lookout for old, dumpy, or abandoned houses in great neighborhoods. That’s because Upward Home Solutions buys houses in any condition!

Upward Home Solutions needs your help finding the next restoration project.

You can help Tim and Katie find their next flip. Do you know someone who would like to sell a house for cash, quickly, and without the complications of working with a realtor? All you have to do is fill out this simple form. If Tim buys the house, he has a special thank you gift for you!

Tim and Katie love old houses and they enjoy the challenge of getting them fixed up for the next generation. In short, they believe in restoring houses and rejuvenating neighborhoods. It’s part of the mission and the culture of the company they created.

“The reality is that old houses that were built a hundred years ago were built by actual craftsmen, people who were the best in the world at what they did. The little nuances in the woodwork, the framing of the doors, the built-in nooks, the windows—all had been done by smart, talented people, and I quickly found that uncovering those details and all of that character made the house more inviting and more attractive and more alive.”

― Joanna Gaines, The Magnolia Story

The Linwood Cottage

On a tree-lined street in the Linwood neighborhood of Columbus, sits a sweet Cape Cod style house. It has 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, 1 half bath, and a total square footage of 1566. Lots of mature trees line the street and the houses are set back from the road with lush lawns.

Linwood Neighborhood: High Growth Potential

The Linwood neighborhood of Columbus is affordable and highly desirable. Just west and slightly south of downtown, houses in this neighborhood are appreciating at a fast rate. Zillow estimates that housing prices in Linwood will rise 13.6% in the next year after having increased 8.4% in the past 12 months!

If you love Senegalese food, you absolutely must try Chez Rama in Linwood. For newbies, start with the lamb with jollof rice, one of the top rated dishes at this restaurant.

The Front

Before

When the “Linwood Cottage” house was purchased by Upward Home Solutions, it didn’t look very good. The previous owners had not updated the house in a long time. Nonetheless, the team at Upward Home Solutions went to work right away!

The UHS Team fixed the cute front porch and painted the house a modern grey with white trim. They updated the landscaping, giving the house great curb appeal.

After

Check out the new front door and windows!

Looking out to the neighborhood, the only thing missing on this porch is a swing… and a glass of lemonade.

The Kitchen

Before

After

The UHS Team replaced the countertops, backsplash, fixtures, appliances, and flooring. I am in love with the hardware! 🤩

Interior Rooms

Before

The previous owners had painted the walls of the front room a dark, almost black, color.

Cozy or scary? We’re not sure who decided to paint the walls of the front room this color, but it made the room feel small.

After

With new flooring, a comforting light grey paint, and new windows, this feels like a brand new house.

Finally, the Linwood Cottage also got a brand new HVAC system. Although it’s not an exciting thing to show in pictures, the house will be reliably cozy in the winter and cool in the summer.

Act Fast!

The Linwood Cottage went on the market today, but it will go quickly. Houses in this neighborhood don’t stay on the MLS for long. In fact, we expect that this house will go into contract this week. We’ve had a lot of interest already!
