If you think you might ever like to try your hand at renovating and you would like to see a house “in the process,” then you won’t want to miss Gene Uram’s house at 5835 Pershing. Gene, a long time resident of the city, is relatively new to Skinker-DeBaliviere having moved into his house the day before Christmas.
The living room was one of the deciding factors in persuading Gene to purchase this particular dwelling. It features a fireplace surrounded by beautiful oak bookcases. Gene has complimented the richness of the wood by decorating in various tones of brown and thus created a very cozy atmosphere.
The former owners started some remodeling in the kitchen by exposing the bricks on the outer wall. It is presently undergoing expansion and further alterations that you won’t want to miss.
Upstairs there were originally four bedrooms, two in the front of the house and two in the back. Gene has had the common wall removed between adjoining rooms and in doing so has created two spacious rooms.
All doors have been left so that the process could easily be reversed into four separate rooms.
As you tour the house be sure to notice the many beautiful stained glass windows, each threaded with bright strands of red.
Although some rooms still remain in their original form, Gene is off to a good start and his house is an excellent example of how one’s dreams can become reality.
