34. From Rental to Renovation: Breathing New Life Into a Century-Old Home

Come with us as we discuss updating a family home built in 1912.  For the last 50 years this home has been a rental and received repairs but not major updates. Adam and his brother, with the help of contractors, tackled a number of home improvements and pre-sale updates.  Here’s an incomplete list of improvements- change windows to dual pane, change dressing room in primary bedroom into an ensuite bathroom, updated both bathrooms, remodeled the kitchen, updated electrical, updated the plumbing, painted inside & outside (painting contact info below!), refinished hardwood floors and restored what could be saved, and a new concrete driveway, patio, and stairs. In this weeks episode, we break down the work it took to transform this home from a long-term rental int a stunning move-in ready home.Adam Hamalian and Sherry Hutchens are real estate brokers (REALTORS) working in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.  Join us as we discuss the interesting and complicated world of real estate through engaging stories, humor, and expert insights.  Over the past few months,Sherry & Adam have been producing a podcast that aims to both educate and entertain our clients and colleagues.
