This is a $5 million property here in Larkspur
0:04
My team and I are going to help the current owner and the realtor completely redesign this
0:10
space so that way we can get top dollar for both of them. Come take a look
0:30
So I bet you are asking yourself, what is the investment that we're going to put into this
0:36
property and what is going to be the return on that investment? Just a little FYI for you. This
0:42
house was purchased in 2003 for $1.3 million. $1.3 million was essentially a tear it out in
0:50
Larkspur. Since that, in the last 20 years, they've added millions of dollars of renovations to it
0:57
and home improvements, but now we're going to come in and put our final touches on it to get that true ROI
1:03
Today, Kyle's team mission is to revamp a 7,000 square foot house in the city of Larkspur
1:10
just 16 miles north of San Francisco. A beautiful drive from the city over the Golden Gate Bridge, Larkspur is in Marin County
1:18
well known for its windswept bluffs of the Point Reyes National Seashore
1:23
to the intimate canyons of the Muir Woods National Monument. so this house here is 7 000 square feet 7 000 square feet everybody it has seven bedrooms six
1:39
back a four car garage home gym i mean water lakefront views four days it's an absolute
1:48
stunner this has to be my favorite feature and everyone's favorite feature of this house
1:55
the lake. The views, a private dock. I mean, talk about getting ready to host parties here
2:02
It's unreal. You have a dock and a deck that run the full length of the property. Like
2:10
how amazing is that? You need coffee? Jump on your boat. Go pick it up. You need groceries? Oh
2:16
jump on your boat. Go pick it up. I mean, honestly, the amenities here are fantastic
2:21
one of the other things that I love about this house is the fact that all of the bedrooms in
2:27
the back have views of the lake it's just it's like who wants to wake up like this um I do
2:34
and so does everyone else I know I think Before I go any further about this house here in Larkspur
2:46
do you remember that condo we did on 4th Street in the Palms in the heart of Soma in San Francisco
2:53
Well, guess what? It's sold and you will not believe what it's sold for
2:58
So you might be asking yourself right now, what are we doing to increase the value in this house
3:03
let me tell you what we are going to do. We are fully painting the exterior. We're restaining
3:09
all of the fencing outside and the handrails, fully staging the inside, painting the inside
3:16
and we're going to redo one of the bathrooms. Oh, I forgot to mention all new lighting
3:22
There is over 45 light fixtures in this house, and we are replacing every single one of them
3:33
For this stunning home, we are going to be doing a more transitional modern style
3:40
The buyer profile for this home will most likely be a family that has two to three kids and frequent house guests
3:45
with an emphasis on their love of entertaining. Look at this brilliantly rich moody exterior color
3:52
Before, it was a very traditional color palette of white with black trim
3:56
We knew immediately that for us to get top dollar for our clients
4:00
we had to bring out the architecture and the elegance of this home with a color story that
4:04
was bold but yet refined. The color is Dragon's Breath from Benjamin Moore and the trim color is
4:10
Black Beauty from Benjamin Moore as well. So you're in luck. You're getting a little sneak
4:16
peek of the formal dining room right behind. Okay, my team and I have been working tirelessly
4:23
to get this property ready for market. And guess what? Today is the final day. We're putting on
4:29
finishing touches and the appraiser is coming. So, fingers crossed, we get that number that
4:35
we're all hoping for and it's going to skyrocket. Check the living room before and check the living
4:43
after. So the thing that I wanted to feature in this house is conversation. I wanted us to create
5:03
moments, vignettes, where you and your friends can talk all the hot gossip and still be part of
5:10
So when you enter this house, you see a beautiful Kona Wood staircase
5:15
This staircase fun fact okay It has continuous pieces of wood on each side We talking one continuous piece of wood on one side
5:27
one on the other. The engineering, the craftsmanship, incredible. And it brings you to one of my favorite rooms in the house
5:35
the family room. here in the family room one of my favorite things that makes a great family room is a big
5:56
comfy sofa who doesn't love a movie night where you can just sink into a nice deep sofa
6:02
and have plenty of room to entertain with your friends here's one of the best features about
6:08
this family room parents you're gonna love this one take a look inside you've got your own wet bar
6:14
speak easy hide away from the kids whatever you want to do
6:18
and I'm now going to show you one of my favorite spots in the house can you guess it the primary
6:41
bedroom. The primary bedroom here is 1,800 square feet of living. That is double the size of my
6:49
first apartment, everybody. And now here we are in it. The thing that I wanted to showcase is
6:55
serenity. You have an amazing view of the lake. We have gorgeous textures. Ooh, feel those. Okay
7:03
You know, you want this to be a retreat. You want it to be serene. So not only can you have one area
7:11
to sleep in, but you also have another area to watch TV in. Who does not want to have a living
7:20
room in their own primary bedroom? Gus agrees, so keep taking a look and see
7:41
Thank you I can believe that I almost forgot to show you one of the biggest primary baths I ever seen
8:10
Come on, follow me. I mean, who doesn't want to get ready in the mornings in this amazing bathroom
8:16
You have views of the lake. You have a dry sauna. You have a jacuzzi tub
8:22
You have rain shower heads. I mean, hello, look at this closet
8:27
Yes. Take a look at this. Everything is cedar lined. You have wrinkled clothes
8:33
Guess what? Not a big deal. Steam them in the morning as you're getting ready
8:38
Oh, you need a little bit more space. You have a completely other side to your closet
8:44
Hello, storage for days. and we're not done. Just keep coming. Come on, come on
8:50
I brush you my teeth. Oh, I'm looking at my boat. I decide I have time tonight
8:56
I'm going to come out to this jacuzzi and really rest and relax
9:01
I mean, what's not to love? The sun above, the choosy, everything's coming up roses here
9:46
Now, before I tell you any more about this house here in Larkspur, I bet you're wondering how much
10:05
should the house on 4th Street sell for? That one bedroom condo, with my team's help and everyone and
10:12
all those attention to details, we sold in less than seven days for $30,000 over asking. And that
10:18
selling price, just a little more than $700,000. And now this house here at Larkspur, we are going
10:26
to be listing this for $5 million. $5 million, everybody. Can we do the same magic that we did
10:33
at 4th Street? Tune in and see
