The reality television, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, have made millions off their long-running reality show 19 Kids And Counting and its spinoff series Counting On. Aside from starring in reality shows, the couple has earned a lot from other endeavors, such as writing a couple of books, holding speaking engagements, and also through real estate investments.
But they are about to get a lot richer than they already are.
The couple decided to flip their Arkansas home of five years, which they initially bought for $230 thousand back in 2014. The property is now on the market and has been listed for $1.8 million. If they get their asking price and expected a deal from clients, then they will be making a heck of a lot of money from the house.
The property is a historic 10,000-square-foot house that is found in Springdale, Arkansas. It has been known as the Baylor Mansion. Back when the couple had just purchased it, it had been a run down and fixer-upper house. But over the years, they have been revamping the four-bedroom, nine-bathroom mansion.
The exact amount the couple used to improve and add fixtures to the home on top of the money they used to purchase it is still uncertain and can only be estimated. However, it is bound to be an outrageous amount of money.
The mansion initially only had four bathrooms. The couple installed five more in the process of remodeling it. Aside from that, the Duggars installed three additional kitchens. They also added more modern fixtures to the house, like new appliances, white cabinets, and an open floor plan.
However, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar still maintained a couple of the original fixtures of the house. This includes a floor of slate tiles and the mansion's walnut ceiling. The mansion is said to have been built way back in 1969. The listing proves that the inspiration for the house was that of Frank Lloyd Wright's home.
The ground floor is circular and is covered entirely by a strong concrete wall that is rumored built to withstand any potential nuclear attacks on the property.
The remodeled house also has a humongous master suite with its private bathroom, which boasts a soaking tub and a walk-in shower. New features of the improved mansion also include a media room, an elevator, and even a secure room for storage.
The house sits on good 2.73-acre land and has a three-car garage and boasts an outdoor patio made of stone.
The couple has been in the business of real estate for quite some time. And when they are not too busy with their roles in their television show, they flip houses and sell them at a sound price. They say they always try to find a way to beautify things to give them more value.
