Before & After: The Belvedere House

Tired of managing their rental property, the owners of The Belvedere House were ready to sell and wanted to feel confident in receiving top dollar for their 3 bed, two bath, 2,000 sqft. home. We had two months to prep this Belvedere home with minor cosmetic upgrades to attract today's buyers.

The Details

Zestimate: $1,879,000
Prep Budget: $45,000
List Price: $2,095,000
Days on Market: 0
Sales Price: $2,310,000

 

The Living Room

Objective: Create a warm and welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining

With a fantastic floor plan to work with and an open living / dining room that flowed seamlessly to the outdoors, we focused only on cosmetic updates that would maximize their sales price. The major changes were refinishing the hardwood floors to a whitewash finish, painting the interior white and upgrading the light fixtures.

The Den

Objective: Update the space to create a cozy, casual family room

The room off the kitchen is the perfect space for hanging out, watching movies or cozying up with a good book. Our goal was to update the space with fresh paint and new brass hardware to accentuate the midcentury modern cabinetry.

The Kitchen

Objective: Update the hardware and appliances to make the kitchen feel new

The existing layout and color scheme were great as is. All it took was some new hardware, light fixtures, a new dishwasher and refrigerator to add exponential value to the home.

The Master Suite

Objective: Create a bright, open master bedroom

With high vaulted-ceilings and ample sunlight, we brightened the room with our go-to white paint color, refinished the hardwood floors and styled it to maximize the space.

The Million Dollar Question...

|

After we prep a home we always ask ourselves, do we think we would have seen the same results if the home was in its original condition? We'll let you be the judge.
