Before & After: The Hawkins House, Larkspur
Looking to downsize now that their kids are off to college, the owners of The Hawkins House brought in Whitney Potter and our team to prep their home to sell for top dollar.
Located in the heart of downtown Larkspur, The Hawkins House is a 4 bed, 4.5 bath, 2,829 SF home surrounded by big, beautiful homes on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac. Maintaining the architectural integrity and the historical details of the home was crucial during recent contemporary renovations and the end result is a California contemporary home with a modern aesthetic.
With $55,000 into painting, landscaping, floor refinishing and staging we received multiple offers within 7 days of going on the market and sold the home for $155k over asking.

The Master Bedroom
Objective: Create a bright, beautiful master bathroom
A stunning master suite with a bay window that takes in Mill Valley’s iconic views also took in a bit too much sun. We refinished sun-damaged hardwood woods, swapped single-pane for double pane windows and refreshed the space with our favorite white paint color.

The Master Bathroom
Objective: Modernize a dated master bathroom
Our biggest bathroom renovation to date, we resurfaced the master bathroom from head to toe to create a bright space that any home buyer would fall in love with. New Carrera marble countertops, Carrera subway shower and bath surround, bright white paint, matte black hardware and plumbing fixtures, and luxury sconces did the trick.
