In the heart of the historic Monoa neighborhood, HGTV uncovers a hidden gem - an off-market house with a rich history of original owners and mid-century design. The team, led by the intrepid Courtney, dives into plans to revamp this multi-generational family home, aiming to attract buyers seeking a modern twist on tradition. Despite facing challenges like a tight budget and unexpected issues with the property, the crew embarks on a mission to transform the space into a functional oasis for potential buyers.
With a keen eye for detail and a determination to honor the home's heritage, the team navigates through layout changes and renovation hurdles, including a pesky dry bar dilemma and a siding setback. Embracing the essence of Monoa's mid-century charm, they focus on modernizing the interior while preserving the original art and unique features of the house. From a built-in entertainment center to a cozy wet bar, every corner is meticulously crafted to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
As the renovation progresses, the house undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis, culminating in a heartwarming blessing by the owner's father, adding a touch of sentimentality to the project. Despite going slightly over budget and timeline, the property is listed and quickly garners attention, attracting multiple offers and eventually selling above the initial asking price. The successful sale not only marks a significant profit for the team but also signifies a job well done in transforming a piece of Monoa's history into a modern-day masterpiece.
