A transformed townhouse primed and ready for the market in Mount Albert, Auckland

House Renovations Auckland : Second time around

Shelley, the owner, was ready to sell up and wanted to increase the townhouse’s value before doing so. Her plans involved a completely renovated kitchen, improved exterior including the roof and landscape, new flooring, and an upgraded interior throughout the home. Shelley had worked with Refresh before so she knew she could rely on the efficient project management of Renovation Consultants

Cost-effective brainstorming

John, Maree, and Shelley discussed her goals and the options for achieving them in the most cost-effective manner. Some areas of the house required extensive renovation while others could be spruced up with relatively simple fixture upgrades and high-end finishing touches. After coming up with an agreed plan of attack, John and Maree brought their Project Manager Darren Clark on board to oversee the day-to-day happenings on-site. 

Renovation Process : Getting to work

Next, the team moved on to the star of the renovation, the kitchen. Everything was replaced: cabinetry, benchtop, splashback, sink, tapware, and even the appliances. It was important that Shelley created a fresh and functional space for buyers. 

The installation of new lighting throughout added to the home’s modern aesthetic. Bar spots were tactically positioned in the living areas and up/down wall lights in the bathroom and hallway added to the contemporary vibe. A light coloured wide plank laminate refreshed all the downstairs flooring and cut pile twist carpet added new comfort upstairs. The entire interior was freshly painted and the bathroom underwent a simple refurbishment that included a new black framed mirror and a combination of matte black and chrome fixtures. The final cost of the 10-week renovation was $96,000.

Maximised space and cosy design

Creating the open-plan living space was undoubtedly worth all the effort involved. With uninterrupted sight lines from the backyard to the kitchen, there is now unimpeded flow throughout the living level of the home and the space feels much larger - a major selling point for potential buyers. 

Final thoughts

The tasteful renovation guided by John, Maree, and Darren resulted in a home that feels cosy and spacious at the same time. Natural design elements and a neutral colour palette give the townhouse a chic and contemporary feel that would catch any home buyer’s eye. And it did. Shelley’s property sold after only four weeks on the market.
