What made 220 Marina Way stand out?
The clearest story at 220 Marina Way was the contrast between a compact 825 sq ft interior and a 5,650 sq ft lot. The gated front approach, Craftsman-inspired exterior, and simple room layout gave the home a clear, easy-to-follow identity.
Inside, the living room connects directly to the dining area, with wood flooring, a large front window, and a fireplace surround that gives the main room a strong focal point. The kitchen sits just beyond the dining area and was presented with a new refrigerator, gas range and oven, and dishwasher.
Before launch, preparation included interior and exterior painting, painted kitchen cabinets, bathtub refinishing, select light-fixture replacement, and yard cleanup. We then used professional photography to show the exterior, main living spaces, kitchen, bedrooms, rear deck, and yard in a simple order.
The rear deck and open yard added an important outdoor layer to the property story. The photo sequence showed the existing home, deck, yard, gated lot, and off-street parking so buyers could understand the full property without cluttering the message.

How did the sale of 220 Marina Way come together?
Situation
A compact home needed a clear, factual presentation
220 Marina Way came to market as a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath single-family home with 825 sq ft of interior space on a 5,650 sq ft lot. The property had a straightforward floor plan, a gated front area, off-street parking, a rear deck, and a large yard.
The marketing challenge was to make the home easy to understand within a compact footprint while giving the outdoor space and preparation work enough attention. The strongest approach was to show the existing spaces clearly and let the photos explain the property.
Strategy
Prepare the visible surfaces and keep the story simple
Pre-sale preparation included interior and exterior painting, painted kitchen cabinets, bathtub refinishing, select light-fixture replacement, and landscaping cleanup. The kitchen was presented with a new refrigerator, gas range and oven, and dishwasher.
Professional photography led with the front exterior, then moved through the living room, dining area, kitchen, bedrooms, bath, rear deck, and yard. That order kept the story focused on the home's existing spaces and features.
The home launched at $525,000 on July 24, 2026. We kept the marketing centered on the completed preparation, outdoor space, kitchen updates, and usable layout.
