Ep 3. Million Dollar Design

On season 3 episode 3 of Unsellable Houses titled "Million Dollar Design," twin sisters and real estate agents, Lyndsay and Leslie, take on a challenging property in a highly sought-after neighborhood. The property is a dated split-level home with three bedrooms and one bathroom, and it has been on the market for 60 days without a single offer.

The sisters are tasked with updating the property and transforming it into a modern, desirable home that will, hopefully, attract potential buyers. With a budget of $85,000, Lyndsay and Leslie decide to give the house a complete makeover by tearing down walls and creating an open floor plan. They aim to create a functional and stylish space that will appeal to contemporary buyers.

The sisters meet with a design team to discuss their plans for the renovation, and they come up with several innovative ideas. They opt for a neutral color palette with pops of bold colors and patterns to add visual interest. They also decide on high-quality finishes and fixtures to appeal to buyers who are looking for a semi-luxurious feel in an everyday home.

As the renovation progresses, they run into several unexpected challenges, including outdated wiring and structural issues. Despite these setbacks, they remain focused on creating a home that potential buyers will love. They work tirelessly to ensure that every detail is perfect, and they bring in a few eye-catching design elements to give the home a touch of personality.

The result is an exquisite and modern home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. They have created an open-concept living space with lots of natural light, which makes the house feel large and bright. The design elements they have added—such as wallpapered accent walls, statement lighting, and a custom-built barn door—give the space a unique and stylish feel.

After the renovation is complete, the sisters stage the home with stylish and modern furnishings, which highlights the home's new features and design elements.

Finally, it's time to unveil the newly renovated home to potential buyers. Lyndsay and Leslie are feeling good about their work, and they can't wait to show off the property. They begin to do several showings, and a few potential buyers are interested in the home. However, there is one particular couple who loves the home and the exceptional design it has. They end up making an offer on the property that exceeds the sisters' expectations.

In the end, the sisters are thrilled that their hard work has paid off. They have created a beautiful and functional home that has appealed to potential buyers and sold for an excellent price. The episode is an exciting and inspiring look at what is possible with a bit of creativity, hard work, and a well-executed design.
