• The renovations totaled around $1 million and took almost a year to complete; here’s a look at the before and after photos.

If you’ve ever wondered what kind of effect a $1 million renovation has on an apartment, look no further.

A Manhattan apartment that closed in June of 2015 for around $2 million is back on the market for $3.5 million. Since then, the apartment has been completely redone, totaling over $1 million in renovation costs and almost a year of work.

The three-bedroom apartment is managed by Warburg Realty, and is listed for $3,595,000. It is located at 130 East 67th Street, just three blocks from Central Park. It is also located near several art galleries, along with luxury shops such as Kate Spade and Michael Kors.

The outdated kitchen layout, in particular, was rendered nearly unrecognizable by the renovations. Marble countertops now replace granite, and every room in the apartment received a new coat of paint.
