Ep 12. Million-Dollar Flip

In Flip or Flop season 4 episode 12, titled Million-Dollar Flip, hosts Tarek and Christina take on a luxurious million-dollar home in the upscale city of La Habra Heights in Southern California. The two-story home boasts of five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and a large outdoor pool.

As the duo steps inside, they realize that the house is bigger and more intricate than they had initially thought. Amidst elegant furnishings and breathtaking views, they also note that the house has significant damage. From plumbing problems to water damage, the house requires significant remodeling.

With an alleged profit of over $200,000 at stake, Tarek and Christina work hard to bring the house back to its former glory. They begin by focusing on the kitchen area, which has traditional 90s finishes and fixtures that feel dated. Christina, who is known for her love for elegant, yet contemporary designs, wastes no time in ripping out the old kitchen.

For the cabinets, Christina opts for bright, white Shaker-style cabinets with a raised panel. She also installs a new island area and a modern backsplash made of delicate tiles. The kitchen area is painted a light grey color that complements the cabinets and the countertops.

As the project moves forward, the real estate experts also survey other areas that need fixing. They realize that while the exterior of the house has a captivating view, the front lawn is either dead or overgrown. In addition, the wooden decks at the back of the house have been neglected, and the trees need trimming.

To solve these problems, Tarek and Christina bring in a team of landscapers to design the front and backyards of the house. They come up with a plan that creates a beautiful landscape and turns the barren front yard into a luxurious garden. Additionally, they remodel the backyard and install a contemporary pool design and a deck area. The transformation is striking, and the exterior area is once again a sight to behold.

On the interior, the duo pays attention to the bathrooms. They realize that the tiles in the bathroom showers are outdated and opt for modern design tiles that incorporate natural colors. They also install new bathtubs and sinks with a sleek design that compliments the new tiles.

As the project draws to a close, Tarek and Christina are satisfied with the results. The overhaul of the house has brought out all the features that previously went unnoticed, and the house is now undeniably beautiful.

In the end, viewers get to see the final transformation, and Tarek and Christina reveal the renovated house to a real estate investor. They go through the house's new features, including the modern kitchen, renovated bathrooms, and a breathtaking view from the backyard. The investor is impressed and decides to put in an offer for the house.

Overall, Flip or Flop season 4 episode 12, Million-Dollar Flip, showcases the stunning transformation of a million-dollar home in Southern California. Tarek and Christina's expertise in real estate and renovating are on full display as they turn a once-dated and damaged house into a renovated gem with striking features.
