INTRODUCTION

From Dated to Desirable: The Transformation Behind 5902 Fishburne

5902 Fishburne Ave began as a solid home with great bones—a spacious layout, beautiful wood floors, and a relatively new backyard pool. But it also came with design challenges: an awkward second-story addition, a cramped dining space beneath the stairs, and an off-center fireplace that disrupted the home’s flow. With a shifting market and a less-than-prime location, our mission was clear—create a strategic, high-impact transformation to capture buyers’ attention and deliver maximum value. Here's how we turned vision into results.

CHALLENGES

Outdated design that didn’t appeal to today’s buyers
Tight budget & timeline—needed a quick yet impactful transformation
Balancing upgrades vs. cost efficiency—what to change vs. what to keep
Coordinating logistics for sellers moving out while the remodel happened

APPROACH AND SOLUTIONS

💡 Design-Led, Budget-Smart, Impact-Driven

To make the most of this home's potential, we focused on strategic updates that would create a memorable first impression—without inflating the budget. With careful planning, seamless teamwork, and a clear vision, we delivered high-end results on a tight timeline.

✅ Our Game Plan

Focus on standout design elements to attract modern buyers
Target key visual areas for maximum return on investment
Stay budget-conscious with smart, efficient upgrades

🎯 Our Renovation Focus

Centered the fireplace and added a sleek built-in shelf
Transformed awkward under-stair space into a wine bar with bay window seating
Elevated the entryway with trending wood slats and a mirrored accent wall
Redesigned the lighting plan for a cohesive, welcoming feel

THE RESULT?

Despite being in a less sought-after location, the Open House attracted more visitors than expected—and the home sold at a premium! Many buyers shared honestly: without the thoughtful renovation, they wouldn’t have even considered viewing the property.

We’re proud to have turned smart design into measurable results—transforming vision into value, one home at a time. Each project is built on trust, efficient execution, and maximizing potential without overspending.
