This split-level Art Deco 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is a stunning example of Oakland’s architectural heritage. Featuring a cozy fireplace, hardwood floors and a spacious backyard allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living, this property was sure to impress buyers. Agent Hans Struzyna of KW Advisors Home Concierge teamed up with project director Megan Silver and Freemodel’s Head of Design Lauren Sharp to thoughtfully modernize this home before it hit the market. Under Megan’s direction, and with design support from Lauren, some of the key upgrades included a full renovation of the kitchen and bathrooms, all new recessed and decorative lighting throughout, hardwood floor refinishing, all new windows and doors, and exterior paint and landscaping upgrades. Once this project wrapped up, the home sold for $1,450,000, earning the sellers a $322,289 profit!
