It took a good 3 or 4 months before my house actually felt like my house, and not just somewhere new I was sleeping and living. It was also move-in ready.
I don't know if the amount of work you guys are gonna pour into this place is going to quicken or delay the "this is home" feeling, but I am so jealous of all the potential that house has. I have a feeling it's going to feel like home as quickly as you pour your sweat and love into the place.
Really cool read. I've always wanted to do this myself but have lacked the funds. I still have hopes of buying a beautiful Detroit monstrosity in the future. People like you give me hope. Keep working, you'll get there.
I absolutely love that you did this and look forward to vicariously experiencing the renovations with you. I spent my childhood years in Detroit and have always longed to return, convinced of the potential for Detroit to 'come back'. The house is extraordinary - good luck on your adventure!
Congrats! I love that house! I would have offered on it myself if I wasn't in the middle of a renovation in a Corktown loft. It will be so much fun to watch that place come back to life!
Welcome to Woodbridge! So glad Lynne gave you a proper welcome. We're in the teal shingle-style on the block south of you. Hope to meet you soon.
Your house is beautiful. Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks Pamela! It's gonna be so great when it's done

Don't worry, everything will work out alright. I live in Boston (soon to move to Detroit), and when I was younger I bought a 3-family for $250 K. I was scared, too, but it was the best thing I've ever done. You got a great deal, and you'll be helping to revive Detroit at the same time. Congratulations!
