Office
Previously, the home office looks like a strange afterthought. The flip transformed it into a gorgeous, usable room.
"Home offices are one of the most sought-after spaces in our current climate of working and teaching kids remotely," says Bernard. "The new floor, lighting, and open, sleek modern space with windows make this a strong selling point for busy buyers."
"The hardwood floors throughout facilitate the visual flow between spaces, creating a more harmonious relationship between the office and the rest of the house," says Alberti. "I also love the contrast of the black-matte stair raisers and wooden handrails. It provides a sophisticated rustic appeal that a lot of buyers look for in a home."
Kitchen
"It looked like a sad little kitchen crying in the corner," Alberti says of the pre-renovation space. But the flip made a huge difference in this all-important room.
"They have repositioned and expanded the kitchen, creating an open concept tied in by a beautiful, massive island that not only provides contrast but also bar seating," Alberti explains. "They did a great job combining different materials and textures. ... It's a design risk that elevates the home."
Kelsch says the new kitchen is definitely more appealing to potential buyers.
"Additional usable counter space, storage, and lighting make this a desirable kitchen and a 'wow' feature in the home," she says.
Bathroom
The old bathroom in this home was like a walk back in time, but not in a good way.
"The wallpaper and the top-and-bottom built-in cabinets made the space feel enclosed and restricted," says Alberti. "The old shower doors are always a must-go—they have had their run for far too long."
The updated bathroom now feels warm and welcoming.
"The shower wall niche was a particularly nice touch because it provides practicality to the user," adds Alberti. "Those kinds of details are never overlooked by buyers."
Bernard agrees: "The new, beautiful bath lets in natural light for the tranquility that homeowners want in their bathrooms," she says. "The updated shower and more functional and modern vanity feel clean and fresh compared to the original."
Bedroom
From the gray wall-to-wall carpet to the heavy drapes, can we all just agree that the old bedroom was the stuff of nightmares?
"The new bedroom sheds pounds of darkness that were exhibited in the old carpeting and bulky cabinets," says Bernard. "The white walls and wonderful new windows are inviting in a room that anyone can envision themselves waking up in. This is a luxury look that buyers in all price ranges desire."
"This bedroom has had a complete turnaround. The new vaulted ceiling helps make the room feel more spacious, and removing the cabinetry opens up the room," says Kelsch. "Bringing in as much natural light as possible by taking down dated old drapes and updating furnishings and fixtures will bring top dollar to this house."
