Come along on the Snowberry renovation project. A down-to-the-studs renovation of our 1950’s ranch-style home in Northern California.
We recently moved back to California after two years in coastal Washington.
Tour our Fidalgo Island home here.
We settled into temporary quarters and began a house hunt.
The housing market was, and still is, hot and we anticipated a challenging and lengthy search.
We concentrated on the Lamorinda area, a community made up of three small towns, including my hometown.
On the third weekend of touring open houses we were exhausted and discouraged.
Ready to call it a day we decided to power through to the last house on our list.
Good thing we did because as we pulled into the driveway of that last house we looked at each other and smiled.
This was our new home!
Walking through the house confirmed our initial impression.
It also created anxiety as we overheard the real estate agent saying she had several offers in hand and expected more by the next day’s offer deadline.
Standing in living room we called our realtor, Kelly Wood, a premier buyer’s specialist at The Dana Green Team, who got right to work.
Long story short, we made an offer, prevailed in the bidding process and 10-days later Snowberry was ours.
See Snowberry in all her glory before the renovation here.
Come along for the ride, we’re just getting started!
