This 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home in Menlo Park is a hidden gem with a rich artistic legacy! This cozy home once owned by renowned artist Zirker, sits on a spacious sunny lot. The transformation took place over a swift 10 day period under the guidance of project director Azary Khalfan and agent Sara Tierno from KW Advisors Home.
The laundry room received a functional uplift, with inoperative appliances being removed and the space receiving a fresh coat of paint. In the family room, they skillfully remedied a water stain on the ceiling and revitalized a canvas wall with a new splash of color. The kitchen saw a selective update with only the blue cabinets being painted, demonstrating a keen eye for style and efficiency. Outside, the property's façade was upgraded with paint, including the front door, while a broken clay pipe was adeptly replaced, ensuring functionality matched the home’s aesthetic appeal. The studio’s exterior wasn’t overlooked either, with the metal post receiving a new coat of paint. Inside the studio bathroom, the team caulked and repaired as necessary, ensuring every detail was attended to.
Once this project wrapped up, the home sold for $1,800,000, earning the sellers a 4067% return on investment and a $634,400 profit!
