Seawell Ave Shotgun - Energy Star Qualified!






The Seawell Shotgun house is finished! It got finished just as a tornado was blowing overhead! I was in the house working when the storm blew over - fortunately it held together and no damage to the house. The 'hood looked like a war zone, but it's all better now. I used a British door like on my house, it looks great!









The Living room has a 16' high cathedral ceiling with original exposed beams and new whitewashed tongue-in-groove pine. With large windows and a skylight, it seems so much larger than the
exterior indicates.

























The efficient kitchen has granite counters and recycled glass mosiac backsplash which look great with the stainless steel appliances!












The bathroom is larger than you would expect to find in a 700 square foot home! Very comfortable and filled with light from the skylight.












The bedroom area was originally the kitchen and bathroom, so the flooring was not salvagable. We put eco-friendly bamboo in. The door to the exterior from the bedroom goes out to the deck and backyard.






In the winter, or if we can get rid of the Kudzu, there is a view of the Raleigh skyline from the deck!
