The Myrtle House belonged to my husband's grandmother. It was our personal home in 2016 and 2017. This was our biggest renovation to date (we removed everything except the exterior shell). Originally a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home, we re-worked the floorplan entirely to make it a 3/3. Although we were able to save a handful of original details such as the beadboard ceiling, we had to re-build the structure of the home due to extensive termite damage with all new piers, joists, framing, systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), roof, and interior finishes.
