Out of the rough

Todd Wood transforms 1950s Manito 'bomb shelter' with a stunning makeover

Location. Location. Location.

The age-old real estate rule applied when Spokane resident Todd Wood first eyed his 1954 ranch-style house overlooking the fourth hole of Manito Country Club's golf course.

The avid golfer joined the club about four years ago and had been searching for a home on its rim. Two years later, when two houses went on the market on the course's north side, Wood chose the one he felt had a better view – despite the fact that the house looked "ugly and worn down," he said.

But Wood saw potential: Great southern exposure. Ten-foot-high ceilings. And, of course, access to the course.

"I thought it had the potential to be a very open, mid-century modern home like you might see in Palm Springs," he said. "You know, with that indoor-outdoor living space."
