From Before → After 🏡✨

This one has a little more story behind it.

I originally helped my client purchase this home on 1260 Paradise Road — and then came the transformation. What started as a dated home was completely reimagined from the inside out.

New finishes. New kitchen. Updated spaces. Modern details. And a whole new feel.

Now, after a full renovation, this home is back on the market and ready for its next chapter.

Seeing the before-and-after side by side really puts the transformation into perspective. 👀

📍 1260 Paradise Road, Ferndale
✨ Completely renovated
🏡 Now available for sale

This is one of my favorite parts of real estate — helping clients see the potential in a property, execute the vision, and ultimately create something they’re proud to put back on the market.

What do you think of the transformation?
