This 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home in Jacksonville, FL features a spacious floor plan, bright natural light, and a private backyard. Agent Elaine Samaan of Side - Dogwood Realty FL teamed up with Freemodel project director Julia Alexander to completely remodel this home from top to bottom, giving it the best chance at appealing to the modern buyer house hunting in the Mandarin area. Once this project concluded, the home sold for $305,000, earning the sellers a $115,525 profit and a 194% return on their investment. This marks Freemodel’s first home sale in Florida! Congrats to Dogwood Realty and Julia!

Julia describes the project saying: “For this home, we undertook a complete renovation that included several key upgrades. The kitchen was completely transformed with the addition of modern appliances, new shaker cabinetry, and a stunning quartz countertop. The bathroom also received a revamp, featuring new black hardware, a new vanity, and stylish black-on-white finishes. In addition, we made efficient use of space by adding a pantry in the laundry room, providing more storage and enhancing the functionality of the small kitchen. Throughout the house, we incorporated black and white details, resulting in a fresh and modern aesthetic.

One of the standout features of this project was the conversion of the garage into an additional bedroom. We added a closet and a new window, adding approximately $15,000 to the property value. This transformation not only increased the livable space but also significantly enhanced the overall appeal of the property.”
