This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home in Berkeley features original details from the 1920s and includes a beautiful picture window and fireplace and bright sunroom. Agent Alex Michas from Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty paired up with project director Lara Richmond to get this property ready to impress modern buyers while keeping its historical integrity intact! Under Lara’s direction, some of the major upgrades included new hardwood flooring, new cabinets and amenities in the kitchen, expanding walls around the kitchen, and a fresh redesign in the half bathroom. When this project concluded, the property sold for $1,975,000, earning the sellers a whopping $377,976 profit and a 390% return on their investment!
