We’re thrilled to announce a record-breaking sale at 221 Woodbridge Circle! This newly transformed home sold for an incredible $2,920,000—over $230,000 above the asking price—in just 7 days, marking the highest sale in the neighborhood. Curious to see how we achieved such a remarkable result? Here’s a look at the transformation journey.
The Vision
Our goal was to breathe new life into this older home, creating a warm, elegant, and inviting space that would captivate today’s buyers and maximize market value. We chose a cohesive design theme of light wood, white, and gold to modernize the property and make it stand out in the competitive San Mateo market.
Challenges
The home came with its fair share of challenges:
Outdated Design: The dark wood and old fixtures made the home feel stuck in the early '80s.
Lack of Natural Light: The interiors were gloomy and small, lacking the brightness today’s buyers crave.
Cohesion: We needed to create a consistent, modern design theme that flowed throughout the entire home.
Our Approach
We tackled these challenges with a strategic approach that combined thoughtful design, custom elements, and a consistent theme:
Design Concept: We implemented a light wood, white, and gold theme to brighten the space and create a timeless, sophisticated look.
Custom Elements: We added custom cabinets and slat wood panels to enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of the home.
Lighting Solutions: Gold-accented sconce lights were added in key areas to highlight the design and bring warmth and style to the space.
Solutions
The transformation began with a careful selection of materials and design elements that would bring our vision to life:
Entryway Transformation: We installed light warm wood floors and customized a cabinet in light wood and white. A light wood slat panel was added to part of the wall, complemented by a white and gold sconce light, creating a welcoming and elegant entry.
Living Room Redesign: The living room mirrored the entryway’s design with another custom cabinet and light wood slat panel. The addition of sconce lights with gold accents on the wood slat panel created a harmonious design flow between the two spaces.
Kitchen Revamp: In the kitchen, we chose a stylish combination of white and light wood cabinets with gold handles. The white upper cabinets create an airy, spacious feel, while the light wood lower cabinets add warmth and balance. We installed new high-end appliances to elevate the cooking experience. Additionally, a custom bench with storage was added to the breakfast nook, paired with a woven pendant light to complete the cozy and inviting look.
Family Room Coziness: The family room was enhanced with a fireplace to create a cozy atmosphere. We added white cabinets at the bottom and light wood floating shelves at the top, continuing the home’s design theme.
Upstairs Consistency: The same color tones and materials were used in all the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs, ensuring a cohesive look throughout the entire home.
Master Bedroom and Bathroom: The master suite was transformed into a serene retreat with light wood and white tones that echo the home’s overall design theme. We added a light wood vanity in the bathroom, paired with gold-accented fixtures to enhance the luxurious feel. The bathroom features camel and white tiles for the standing shower, creating a soothing and elegant ambiance. The result is a master suite that offers both comfort and sophistication.
Results
The result was a stunning transformation that brought this 1987 home into the modern era while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This beautifully transformed home sold in just 7 days, achieving a price over $230,000 above the asking price—the highest sale in the neighborhood!
Our renovation expertise, marketing strategies, negotiation skills, and extensive network were key factors in this success. By strategically updating and staging the home, we were able to attract serious buyers quickly and negotiate a record-breaking sale price.
This project highlights the power of thoughtful design and strategic upgrades in maximizing a home’s value. If you’re considering selling your home, we’d love to help you achieve similar results!
