by Dean Berman

Sometimes art and property are one. Besides looking good they both can appreciate in value.

This property in Victoria sold for $1,305,000 by Edward Hobbs and James Richer of Biggin & Scott.

Originally purchased in July 2012 for $725,000.

Represents an impressive gain of $580,000.

New Floorplan – 3 bedrooms, 2 bathroom, look at that 3rd bedroom and attic extension, creating a second storey and that funky staircase
Original Kitchen
New Kitchen – it’s so streamline and slick
Original Living Area – furniture was a little heavy for the space
New Living Area – such cool material usage in the exposed brick wall, wooden ceiling beams, polished wood floor and stair railing
Original Bedroom

New Bedroom – nicely styled with neutral colours
Original Bathroom – massive differences in the bathroom
