For those of you who regularly follow my articles, you know how much I love sharing tips and tricks that go beyond the commonplace. In fact, you’re probably not surprised to find out that I love everything about real estate, from buying and selling to decorating and landscaping.
And one of the biggest aspects of real estate, in Southwest Florida or anywhere, that I consider is the potential of a property. This is because you can often find homes that are considerably marked down in price compared to their neighbors, and all because someone has yet to see the hidden possibilities in that property.
But how do I hone my skills for spotting potential and unlocking it? Although there are a few other tools I use, I enjoy browsing photos of other homes that have been transformed or enhanced. And today, we’re going to browse together to get ideas and see exactly what brings out the potential of 2 Houzz homes.
Rehab of Tropical Real Estate in Southwest Florida
You are going to be totally blown away by this image gallery of a quaint piece of real estate in Southwest Florida. Located in Stuart, Florida, just a few hours from where I am, this home was originally a drab, somewhat boring property. Looking at the images, you might wonder whether this property would even be worth touring.
Yet, once it was rehabbed, you can see that it went from underwhelming to a property that likely would command a significant sum over purchase price. I love that something as simple as a paint job truly made it shine and fit more to the landscape. And the new design elements are right on-point, in addition to the attractive new landscaping. But the outdoor area is a transformation you have to see to believe.
Incredible Mid-Century Modern Rehab
For real estate in Southwest Florida, we have a large diversity of styles when it comes to design. Of course, one style that is trendy right now is the Mid-Century Modern vibe. And for this kitchen overhaul, you’ll find this approach has been captured in a wonderful way. Now, the original kitchen isn’t bad and is even a little quaint. However, the owners saw a bit more potential lurking under that veneer. I like this one particularly for its clean, but natural look. It maintains a sense of warmth that transcends other more sterile modern approaches that rely on white.
