CabCo Design and Renovation -A complete renovation: Once-unsellable home to a top-dollar gem.

Every home has a story, and some just need the right team to help rewrite it. This property, once considered unsellable, sat overlooked and undervalued — raising the question of whether it could ever shine in today’s competitive market. But with vision, creativity, and expertise, CabCo Design and Renovation stepped in to breathe new life into every square inch.

From the exterior curb appeal to the very heart of the home, this project was more than just a facelift — it was a complete transformation. Outdated spaces were reimagined with fresh, timeless design. Functionality was prioritized without sacrificing style. And the results? A once-forgotten property that is now a stunning top-dollar gem.

Best of all — this incredible transformation has already captured the heart of a new owner who can’t wait to call it home.

Every unforgettable renovation has a centerpiece, and in this home, it all started in the kitchen. Once dated and uninspiring, the space has been completely reimagined — blending bright, modern finishes with timeless charm. With crisp cabinetry, bold herringbone backsplash, warm wood accents, and sleek lighting, the kitchen became the spark that set the tone for the entire renovation.

What was once an unsellable property is now a top-dollar gem, refreshed from the inside out. And with a new owner eagerly waiting to move in, this transformation proves how the right design can breathe life back into any home. Know more about the before and after...here

From Kitchen Transformation to Whole-Home Revival

When CabCo Design and Renovation first stepped in, the property sat on acres of Albemarle land with plenty of potential but little buyer appeal. Outdated finishes, tired layouts, and a lack of modern functionality left the home sitting on the market, raising the question: could it truly compete in today’s housing market?

The Challenge: A Home Overlooked

THE BEFORE

The heart of the home needed to inspire — and that’s exactly what the kitchen now does. Once dark and closed-off, the new design feels bright, open, and welcoming. From timeless greige cabinetry paired with vintage-inspired brass hardware to durable quartz countertops and a bold backsplash, every detail was chosen to balance beauty with function.

This kitchen is now more than a place to cook — it’s a space for gathering, entertaining, and creating memories. See the before and after....

The Spark: A Kitchen Reimagined

The design vision didn’t stop at the kitchen. Room by room, CabCo reimagined the spaces with a perfect mix of style and practicality:

Living Areas: Fresh paint, modern lighting, and open flow brought warmth and cohesion.
Bedrooms & Baths: Updated layouts, serene finishes, and thoughtful storage transformed once-cramped areas into true retreats.
Exterior: A refreshed façade and landscaping gave the home instant curb appeal, welcoming guests before they even step inside.

The Whole-Home Transformation

The Reveal: From Unsellable to Unforgettable

What was once a home overlooked and undervalued is now a showpiece ready for modern living. Every detail reflects a commitment to quality design, timeless style, and functional comfort.

And the best part? This top-dollar transformation already has a new owner eagerly waiting to begin the next chapter of the home’s story.
