This 1940s Westwood home has been thoughtfully renovated and expanded by the current owners, while still retaining its historic charm. In 2019, the owners built an addition which included a new primary suite and bedroom. The primary bathroom includes a zero-entry steam shower/wetroom, a collaboration between an architect and an engineer, to ensure structural integrity. The primary shower and the hall bathroom shower are both steam showers. At the same time as the new addition, the kitchen was renovated, adding quartz countertops, new cabinets, new appliances, a pot filler, beverage refrigerator, skylights, bookshelves, and the creation of a walk-in pantry. The addition also created space for a one car garage with storage. The roof of the main house was replaced in 2023 and the roof of the new addition is from 2019. There is a separate, climate-controlled office/studio space. One owner, in particular, is very proud of the home's "mega laundry room" and laundry chute. The have added spray foam insulation in the attic and a B-Dry System in the basement.

The average price per square foot of the above comparable sales is $307. Using this figure for the main level's approximately 2800 square feet gives a value of $859,600. The 700 square feet in the basement can be multipled by half of the average price per square foot ($153.50), which equals $107,450. Adding the two levels gives a total of $967,500. The outside office also adds value to the home, though this is not included in the square footage.
There are 6 additional sales in Westwood and Forest Heights (these are basically sister neighborhoods based on their age, style, and proximity to each other) which have sold within the last year and that have also been renovated. I did not include these above, as they are smaller and have fewer bedrooms. Over the years I have sold 4 of these 6 listings, so I know them very well. The average sold price per square foot for those listings is $336.
