30 Days
$80K Investment
$300K Increase in Property Value
With an original owner spanning nearly 70 years, this cherished home has witnessed the growth of multiple generations. Now, it's time for a right-sizing move closer to family in the Midwest. I embarked on a journey to revitalize this gem, recognizing its appeal to young buyers in a fantastic starter location. To maximize its potential, I added a powder bathroom to the existing floorplan, partnering with efficient vendors for a swift execution. Within just 30 days, we transformed the property, investing approximately $80,000 to increase its value by an impressive $300,000!
The Punch List:
- Donated and disposed of remaining personal property
- Floated living/dining room ceiling for modern look
- Built out new powder bathroom – framing, electrical, plumbing, window, drywall, flooring, painting, vanity, lighting, mirror
- Added recessed lighting with dimmer switches
- Removed ceiling fans and installed new flush mount lighting
- Added air-conditioning to central heating system
- Fabricated new furnace closet door
- Updated existing hall bathroom vanity, lighting, mirror, etc
- Painted entire interior
- Troubleshot and repaired faulty electrical items
- Painted kitchen cabinets & installed new hardware
- Added new kitchen quartz countertops with deep stainless steel sink and faucet
- Refinished hardwood flooring
- Installed a new roof
- Cleaned-up landscaping,trimmed trees, replaced/repaired fences, removed vegetable garden, old concrete pads and re-graded soil for grass
- Removed sail awning and decorative lights
- Installed sprinkler system and grass in backyard
- Removed unfinished stucco soffit at back of house; install blocking with attic vents
- Demo'd driveway & half of garage concrete slab (had previous damage from redwood trees), replaced with new rebar and concrete, added epoxy to garage floor
- Painted entire exterior
A combination of amazing artistry with common sense practicality allowed my family to see their 70 year old home transformed (in record time) into a work of art everyone loved. That hard work and trust was rewarded with a sales price that was hundreds of thoughts above both asking and our expectations.
