How do buyers value a home in a desirable neighborhood that is significantly bigger than all surrounding homes?
We’re excited to announce the sale of 247 Cedar Street in Roseville — sold for $695,000, representing the seller, a truly unique property in one of the city’s most charming historic neighborhoods.
This neighborhood is known for its character.
Tree-lined streets.
Mature landscaping.
Homes originally built in the 1940s.
It has an undeniable aesthetic and a sense of history that buyers are drawn to.
But with that charm typically comes one common trait — smaller homes.
Most properties in the area are modest cottages, often under 1,200 square feet.
And that’s what makes this sale so special.
From 900 Sq. Ft. Cottage to 2,400 Sq. Ft. Unicorn
When originally built 80 years ago, this home was a 900 sq. ft. cottage. A previous owner completed a large addition, significantly expanding the footprint.
My clients — the current sellers — took it a step further.
They completely reworked the layout of the addition to maximize functionality and flow. What could have felt like “tacked-on square footage” was transformed into intentional, usable living space.
The end result:
6 bedrooms
3 full bathrooms
Approximately 2,400 sq. ft.
In a neighborhood dominated by smaller historic homes, this property became something incredibly rare — a large, move-in-ready home with modern functionality, all while preserving the charm and setting buyers love.
Why It Stood Out in the Market
When we brought this home to market, it immediately positioned itself as a unicorn.
You had:
Size and bedroom count far exceeding neighborhood norms
A functional lot with great usability
Clean, updated finishes throughout
A sought-after, character-filled location
That combination is powerful.
Buyers didn’t just see a remodeled home — they saw an opportunity to live in a historic, aesthetically pleasing neighborhood without sacrificing space or modern conveniences.
And the market responded.
The Result
We closed at $695,000 — one of the highest sale prices in the history of the neighborhood.
This sale is a perfect example of how:
Smart design and layout improvements create real value
Unique positioning within a neighborhood can drive demand
Size and functionality matter — especially in areas where they’re scarce
Huge congratulations to my clients for executing a thoughtful, high-quality remodel and trusting me to guide the sale.
If you’re considering a flip, remodel, or wondering what your home could command in today’s market — especially in Roseville’s older character neighborhoods — let’s talk.
Every neighborhood has its own dynamics.
The key is understanding how to position your property to stand out.
