Spanning 4,000 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, this private, serene home in Oakland was prime to hit the market after a few cosmetic renovations. While this property already had numerous amazing qualities, getting these .44 acres ready to impress would be no easy job! In partnership with agents Jennifer Glassman and Marcia Skall of Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty, project director Melissa Jones got to work on refreshing this property.

To start out, the team opted to do paint touch-ups on the walls, ceilings, and trim in every room. All of the windows were washed to help accentuate the natural light, which is crucial in a home of this size! The bedrooms all had a thorough carpet cleaning and fresh paint. Out in the backyard, the team dug into a large-scale landscaping job! The original landscaping was demolished and a new lawn was laid, along with fresh mulch and new plants. Weeds and overgrown foliage were also removed, resulting in an outdoor space primed for entertaining and relaxing!

Once the project was completed and listed, this home sold for $3,850,000, giving the owners a 1314% return on their investment!

Freemodel’s scope of work for this project included:

- All rooms: paint touch-ups on ceilings, walls and trim, window cleaning

- Bedrooms: fresh paint, carpet cleaning

- Bathroom: fresh paint

- Exterior: demolition to landscaping, new plants and mulch, new lawn
