Beaumont Bungalow Before and After
Get ready for a fun transformation! I had the immense pleasure of listing this beautiful home for sale this spring. The owner had taken loving care of her Portland landing pad for the last 10 years, and was now making a life change and moving out of state to be closer to family. Over those 10 years she updated almost every system possible, and built a really unique and well designed accessory dwelling unit (ADU).
Before selling we need to give the home a little sprucing up, and while the changes weren’t huge they made a dramatic impact. I’ll go through what we did in more detail, so you can get a window into what it’s like to prepare a home for sale.
The preparations really paid off: we listed the home for $635,000, got four very competitive offers and sold for $680,000. Success!
When she hired me to help her list her house, it just needed the last finishing touches to make it really shine. Together we made a plan to tackle the last steps to make the home complete. For example, the home already had beautiful exterior paint that matched the landscaping so well, we just touched up the porch and a little window trim. The front yard got cleaned up as well.
The living room got a fresh coat of paint, and we removed the curtains. It was also staged after the seller moved out.
The basement bedroom was the biggest project. It needed putting back together after a recent waterproofing project. When I arrived it didn’t have framing, drywall, or flooring. We also moved a closet to make more room for a bed. The HandyGals did the work and did an excellent job!
We also did a kitchen mini-remodel: We added new kitchen flooring, added doors to two cabinets that were open concept, changed the lighting, and painted.
The whole house got a color refresh, including the front bedroom.
The last touch was the fabulous staging from Polka Dot Interiors.
Every home is different in the amount of work it takes to get them to this picture perfect end result. My goal is always to do my best to get it looking market ready for the best results for my clients.
