Before
The Big Sanders House. Karen and Mina purchased this four-bedroom, four bath, 4300-square-foot house on Sanders Street for $50,000. "'I'm so incredibly excited about this house," said Mina prior to the renovation, "but also absolutely terrified because it's massive." The house came with a formal parlor and living room on the first floor and a third-floor attic space that could easily be converted into a large bonus room. Some of the downsides: extensive termite damage and rot on the front exterior and deteriorated siding on the back.
