Gift to the Street: Rich Bellows

When Rich Bellows and his wife Erin purchased their Mission Hills bungalow, they saved it from being torn down and replaced with an oversized structure that would impact the whole neighborhood. With its faded blue paint, enclosed porch, and dirt-filled front yard, the home no longer resembled its Craftsman Bungalow origins. With an eye for detail and the skill to complete the job to perfection, Rich went to work identifying and restoring the home’s original details. Once nondescript and run-down, the craftsman bungalow is now one of the nicest homes on the street.
