Mary Ellen Maloney – REALTOR® at The Moore Company – has been flipping houses in neighborhoods across Columbia since 2013. Her passion for homes with major potential found its own home in the Lake Katherine neighborhood, where she’s lived with her family for 7 years.

Among community, great schools + amenities, family-friendliness and in-town lake living, she loves Lake Katherine for its potential. There are endless possibilities of how you can transform a 1950s ranch-style home in Lake Katherine. You can easily get into the neighborhood in the $300K range, then make a few solid updates – like adding additions and front + back porches – to transform your house into your dream home.

Here’s one of Mary Ellen’s favorite renovations in Lake Katherine that she’s worked on with Daniel Hudson of Hometeam Renovations and Repairs – (her own home!) – if you’re looking for a little inspiration, yourself.
