This captivating Mid-Century California Ranch combines contemporary luxury paired with a modern makeover. The home features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, beautiful outdoor entertainment spaces, and a backyard pool - all located on a private, cozy cul-de-sac. Agent Michael J. Okun of Sotheby’s International Realty teamed up with Project Director Lillian Lageyre to breathe new life across this sweeping ⅓-acre lot nestled in the beautiful woods of Studio City.

To get started, Lillian directed the team to patch and paint all of the walls, ceilings and trim around the house. Every door was upgraded with new privacy doorknobs and the front door was swapped out for a new modern glass and light wood installment. The brick around the fireplace and in the kitchen and dining room was all freshly painted and repaired, and new lighting was added throughout the home. In the kitchen, the ceiling lights were upgraded, new floating shelves were installed next to the range, and quartz countertops were installed. A new farm sink was added with the addition of a new sink faucet, garbage disposal, and hardware. A new tile backsplash was included in the remodel and a new island cabinet was placed in the center of the kitchen to maximize use of the space. The bedrooms benefitted from new LED lighting being installed and new drawer knobs added to the dresser. Moving on to the primary bathroom, the team got busy and added a new freestanding bathtub with a new drain kit. A new sink and faucet were installed, along with a modern vanity mirror and hardware throughout the room. The shower was upgraded with new glass, new tile walls and a new fixed shower head. The baseboards were replaced in the room and new tile flooring was laid throughout. In the second bathroom, a new toilet was added, along with a new prefab vanity cabinet, sink, vanity mirror and hardware. That shower also received new glass and a new fixed shower head. The baseboards were replaced and new tile flooring was added throughout.

On the exterior of the home was upgraded with fresh stucco and paint to areas that needed repair, as well as repairs made to the front porch wood. Any of the missing stone on the entry walkway was replaced, and new lighting was added along the porch. Modern house address numbers were included in the exterior makeover and any of the missing roof tiles were replaced. Additionally, the front yard grass was seeded, hedges and ivy trimmed, fresh mulch was laid, and plant beds were added next to the pool. A new gate and latch were added for the backyard shed and new tile was laid around the pool. The pool also got a thorough acid wash and new drain covers to finish the job.

Upon completion of this project, the home sold for $3,500,000, offering the owners a $682,186 profit and 313% return on their investment!
