This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Novato features high ceilings, unique multi-level elevations, and direct access to nature with the Mt. Burdell Preserve just steps away. Agent Craig Ackerman of Side - Proof Real Estate paired up with project director Melissa Jones to transform this one-of-a-kind home into a modern masterpiece to impress buyers. Under Melissa’s direction, the team got to work and some major renovations included the installation of new luxury vinyl flooring throughout the home, refaced cabinets and new appliances in the kitchen, and major design and functional upgrades in both bathrooms. Once this project wrapped up, the home sold for $1,150,000, earning the sellers a $317,480 profit and a 295% return on their investment!
