3807 MELTON STREET
GOT STROCK’IFIED
In just two weeks, the Strock Real Estate Team added additional love to 3807 MELTON STREET in Santa Cruz. With a small budget, the Strock Real Estate Team went to work upgrading the lighting, painting the interior, remodeling the detached office space, resurfacing the upstairs deck, general home repairs, and front/backyard landscaping.
Increasing Home Value with Design, Renovation, and Staging
Step 01: Design Consultation. Our team puts together a cohesive design for your home for any improvements along with plans for full staging or occupied staging options. The goal is to make your home visually appealing to a broad spectrum of buyers.
Home Repairs. At the initial walk-through, our design team suggested a few general home repairs and resurfacing the upstairs master deck.
Lighting. Lighting makes a huge impact on the overall look of your home. Our designers suggested replacing the kitchen pendant hanging over the island and adding lighting to the new outdoor office space.
Office Overhaul. Creating spaces that are more universal is key to helping potential homebuyers “move in.” Our designers suggested creating an ideal work-from-home space out of a pre-existing surf shack.
Landscaping.The first thing potential homebuyers see is the exterior of a home. Our designers suggested adding additional plants in the front yard to block out the view of the street. Also to help create a cozy environment in the backyard we suggested adding to the preexisting soft scape.
Step 02: Renovation If your home needs any updates, we have a team of experienced, trusted vendors to get the job done. We will work directly with these vendors to manage the schedule, oversee the work, and keep the job on budget.
Our team of professional contractors went to work on the renovations, from painting the interior rooms, converting a surf shack to an outdoor office space (french doors, painting, new light fixtures), resurfacing the upstairs master deck, to sprucing up the front and backyard landscaping.

Step 03: Staging.We have realized over the years that not every home fits the same mold — some are Modern, some are craftsmen, and others are more Traditional. Our stagers help transform your home’s furnishings to match its architecture.
After getting the keys, our home stagers came in and create an atmosphere that will appeal to a wide range of serious buyers.
- Our stagers created a warm and inviting environment inside by enhancing the home’s natural elements with stylish furniture pieces, plants, artwork, and lighting.
- Outside, we created an inviting atmosphere by sprucing up the tree fort, adding plush cushions to the pre-existing built-in couch/firepit area, and planting additional foliage.
- In the newly converted office space, we painted and added lighting, brought in elements specific to Santa Cruz, items such as hand-painted skateboards – courtesy of the home sellers.
- The Strock team took care of every detail and masterfully managing the project from start to finish, updating the homeowners on the progress weekly.
