Two years ago, this single family home, 28 Clarendon Avenue, sold for $1.6 million in a trust sale. Less than 2 months ago, this 5 story home came on the market with a major renovation and a $4.5 million dollar price tag.

Designed by San Francisco architect Simon Kwan and rebuilt in 2010, this mid-century home spans five levels and comes with oak hardwood flooring and a number of wide floor-to-ceiling windows. It's highlighted by a top-floor great room with a living room, dining room and kitchen that has Viking appliances, Chroma Quartz countertops, European metallic backsplash and a center island. The lower level master suite offers a panoramic three-bridge view and a bathroom with limestone tile. There's also separate lower level with a bedroom suite, office/media room and stairs that lead to the deck and landscaped garden. The home has been seismically retrofitted and has a two-car garage with interior access.

Don't miss: The property has a cedar wood-lined light well that runs through every floor, as does an elevator, and there are multiple decks, a professionally landscaped yard and a wine cellar.

Built: 1959, renovated in 2010

Size: The three-bedroom home has three full and two half bathrooms and covers 4,537 square feet.
