Home Restoration Award: Ed and Jamie MacBean

Eighteen months ago the Lovett House had bars across the windows and an overgrown and shabby yard. An airplane bungalow, the house was in need of a new roof, new paint, and a chimney restoration. After purchasing the home, Ed and Jamie MacBean began the labor-intensive task of restoring the property, taming the landscaping, repainting, stripping and refinishing the interior woodwork, and rebuilding the chimney. The wonderfully transformed house, which sits atop a slight hill along one of Mission Hills’ busier thoroughfares, is testimony to the time and care this couple has taken in restoring their home.
