Ep 4. Midcentury Maze

In season 7 episode 4 of Flip or Flop titled "Midcentury Maze," hosts Tarek and Christina undertake the ambitious task of flipping a maze-like midcentury modern house in La Habra, California. The house is in dire need of a modern touch after being untouched for decades.

The hosts take a moment to assess the property before beginning their work. As they explore the house, they soon realize the task ahead may be more difficult than anticipated. The maze-like layout of the house makes the project more complicated than they originally thought.

The house has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a pool, and is in a desirable neighborhood. Their goal is to complete the transformation in just 30 days, which is a tight deadline. There is a lot of work to be done, but the potential return on investments is sizable.

They begin by removing the old carpet and replacing it with new flooring. They also tackle the kitchen, which needs an entirely new layout and upgraded features. The couple installs new appliances, lighting, and fixtures to modernize the space. In doing so, they transform the kitchen into a more open and inviting space. They also decide to convert one of the bedrooms into a home office.

The master bedroom is another area that requires significant work. Tarek and Christina have expensive tastes, so they give the mattress a high-end upgrade. They modernize the space with new windows, a walk-in-closet, and high-end finishes.

The living room is a central area of the house that also needs significant work. They give the room a cozy feel by installing a new fireplace and creating a custom built-in bookcase. They also repaint the walls to align with the new look of the house.

As the team nears the end of their project, they realize that some of the outdoor renovations must also be scaled back. There is simply too much work needed to complete everything before the deadline. Despite the setbacks, they manage to finish the job and transform the dated midcentury modern home into a sleek and modern dwelling.

The episode ends with the couple hosting an open house for potential buyers and curious neighbors. They eagerly await the verdict on their renovation, hoping to get an offer that will maximize their profits.
