PROJECT OVERVIEW
This Fairview, NC property underwent a strategic transformation from a traditional duplex rental into a profitable Airbnb. The project centered around three bathroom remodels and included meticulous matching of existing elements to create a cohesive, upscale guest experience.
THE CHALLENGE
Converting a functional but basic duplex into an inviting short-term rental demanded careful planning and execution. The property required updates that would appeal to discerning travelers while maximizing the owner's return on investment. A particular challenge involved repurposing the upstairs kitchen area into an additional bathroom to better serve guests.
THE TRANSFORMATION
UPSTAIRS KITCHEN CONVERSION
The former upstairs kitchen was completely reimagined as a luxury bathroom. The renovation included: Custom marble tile installation that elevates the space with timeless elegance. Bespoke glass shower doors that create an open, airy feeling while containing water. Thoughtful layout optimization that makes the most of the available space.
ENLARGED PRIMARY BATHROOM
The primary bathroom was enhanced through strategic expansion of the shower area. This modification created a more luxurious bathing experience for guests while maintaining the overall footprint of the room.
PRIMARY AND GUEST BATHROOMS
Both the primary and guest bathrooms received comprehensive updates including: Fresh paint that coordinates with the property's overall aesthetic. New sinks, mirrors, fixtures, and lighting that add contemporary appeal. Premium tiled flooring that improves both the look and durability of the spaces.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
Throughout the property, special attention was paid to creating visual continuity: Hardwood flooring was meticulously matched to existing sections, creating an uninterrupted flow between spaces. Paint colors were carefully selected to coordinate with remaining elements, ensuring a cohesive appearance. Fixtures and finishes were chosen to elevate the property's appeal while maintaining a consistent design language.
THE RESULT
This thoughtful conversion transformed a basic duplex rental into a desirable Airbnb property that commands premium nightly rates. The bathroom renovations, particularly the innovative kitchen-to-bathroom conversion, maximize the property's functionality for short-term guests. By focusing on quality materials and seamless integration with existing elements, the renovation achieved a high-end look that photographs well for listings and creates a memorable guest experience.
The property now generates significantly higher income as an Airbnb than it previously did as a traditional rental, providing the owner with an excellent return on their renovation investment.
