Uninhabitable to High-Value: Victorian Transformation

By Floor & Decor

Pro customer, Ashley Reese of Blu Leaf Property Solutions, teamed up with a Floor & Decor designer to complete another standout project. This four-story, multi-family home in the San Francisco Bay Area brings quality, style, and heritage to the forefront. Each of the three units has successfully sold for top value. See how Reese turned to Floor & Decor Design Services to bring this project to life. 

Starting with Free Design Services 

Reese begins with Floor & Decor's free Design Services to help his homes reach top value in the market. Manal, Floor & Decor Senior Designer, worked with Reese to find the best materials and selection to achieve his vision within budget. 

Before the Transformation 

Reese’s transformation began with an auction for this historic Victorian home built in 1900. The property was uninhabitable and required a large-scale remodel. Reese’s goal was to create functional and unique appeal for each of the three units.

After the Remodel 

With the help of Floor & Decor’s free Design Services, Reese created one-of-a-kind properties fit for the luxury market that honor the craftsmanship of a heritage property. Featured throughout the units, Pearson White Oak Distressed Engineered Hardwood provides a strong foundation for each space with its natural texture and lasting durability.

Reese designed each kitchen to be both distinctive and cohesive. Memorable marble backsplashes and Euro White Oak Butcher Block Countertops are unique yet appealing to a wide range of home buyers, which is essential for resale.
