Sean and Ashley Michaelis are the dynamic husband-wife duo behind Michaelis Homes. Sean is the contractor, and Ashley is the designer and realtor. They have three boys between the ages of 1 and 5 and have been flipping homes since 2017. They’re debuting “The Crestwood” for their first home parade to showcase.
The Crestwood House Journey
Sean and Ashley learned many things about the Crestwood house’s story and became close with the family who sold it. The house was originally built in the 1970s, and the couple who owned it raised 7 kids. Sean and Ashley’s work was cut out for them: it had 9 different types of carpet, many DIY projects, and a few years of neglect as the owners aged.
Sean and Ashley bought the house with the intent to flip and sell but ended up falling in love. They had worked on three other houses on the same street and already loved the neighborhood and the house’s amazing views. Sean and Ashley are excited to finally be experiencing what their clients do. Listeners can see the before and after pictures of the Crestwood House journey on the Michaelis’ website.
A Unique Remodeling Style
Ashley has a great eye for design and could see incredible potential in this new property. They capitalized on the mid-century style, keeping much of the house’s natural charm while also bringing in an updated, modern feel. Ashley enjoys a style she calls ‘Utah modern,’ tying in geographical locations and color palettes into something that is uniquely Utah.
Finding a Home with History
Sean and Ashley’s love for their new house comes from its story. The previous owners had been older and unable to take care of the house as they wanted, and Sean and Ashley were eager to buy it. The owners’ kids were very involved in the buying process, and Sean and Ashley soon became close with the entire family.
While it was a struggle to get all the materials they wanted, Sean and Ashley staged a viewing for the family around Christmas so that they could see what they had done with the house. They described it as very emotional, as the family was saying goodbye but also seeing the new life breathed into their childhood home. The owners’ kids and grandkids could see Sean and Ashley’s work and know they made the right choice in trusting them to remodel.
Listen in to hear more about how the Michaelis couple incorporated the state of Utah into their homes, how they grew their business together, and more about “The Crestwood.”
