Modernizing the bathroom took another level when we made the bathroom cabinet. After we were done the cabinet look  beautiful and it was a fun process to re utilized the wood from the same house.

From Magalli Murguia Yoho

The Bay Area in California has become one of the most expensive places to live in the United States. The shortage of housing in this area has propelled a skyrocket in prices for a simple, small and boring house. The ones that are a little different and have a some land, sell for millions of dollars and the competition to buy one of these homes is exponentially growing.

So people who work in the Bay Area are willing to commute three hours in order to buy a nice house for a reasonable price. We see the commuters everyday on 101 or highway 5 or even 152 to get to their jobs. Some of these buyers are now benefiting from the nice and flexible jobs that companies like Amazon are offering...... The so called virtual offices allows their employees to work from home, so why not live in Clovis? Or in cities near by that can offer a better buy for your money?

My brother Luigi and I decided to buy a house in Clovis to remodel and re sale.
Our criteria consisted of: a convenient location (easy to get to on a great school district), beautiful views, and as much land as possible. So when we saw 10350 Mendocino Avenue in Clovis we felt in love with the property and now we want to share the project with you. Our goal is to inspire other people to think outside the box and explore other cities near by. The commute is not as bad when you can buy a something, which ultimately is far more precious than just a house. You're investing in land that you can call home. The land is so precious because the land is not unlimited!

The house on Mendocino has been transformed into a modern style farmhouse that took four months to remodel. The house has the beautiful views of the rolling hills, with bright orange California sunsets, and it is in an award winning school district. The house also has 19 acres of land, and with a little work you could probably subdivide the property to make a few other homes. You could use these homes as a secure way to get monthly income; now you have created a reliable retirement plan! This house has unlimited potential!

If this house was in the Bay Area you would have to pay around $4,850,000, but 3 hours away you can have it for $845,000.

This particular home was built with metal framing and is strong. Not your standard construction, but one that will last many life times. I am so exited for the new owner.

I hope you enjoy the transformation.
