Jeremy Renner might play Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s his mom, Valerie, who is the real-life superhero of his family. “She’s given me everything and she sacrificed everything,” Jeremy said. While Jeremy and his siblings built lives of their own in Los Angeles, Valerie remained in Modesto, California — a good five hours north. However, being that far from her children and six grandkids was no longer cutting it. So, Jeremy and his siblings purchased their mom a condo. Valerie knew about the condo, but what she didn’t know was that Jeremy was going to renovate it before she moved in. “She’s given her life to us, so we really want to take care of her,” said Jeremy.

With the help of Jonathan and Drew Scott, Jeremy transforms his mom’s 1970’s condo into a modern-meets-cozy space with grandkid-friendly features.

With five weeks to transform basically every space in the condo except the three upstairs bedrooms, the Property Brothers and Jeremy started demo immediately. Lucky for Jonathan and Drew, Jeremy has a ton of experience with home renovation. “I’ve done a lot of homes in the past,” said Jeremy. “It was a job I fell into and [it] ended up paying for my acting career.”

Two things Jeremy loved about the original condo were the natural light and high ceilings. But between the mirror wall and parquet floors, this living room was frozen in time — 1979 to be exact.

To bring this living room into the present times, Jonathan and Drew took out the mirror wall and replaced the parquet floors with wide-plank oak hardwood. Even more natural light pours into the space thanks to the shutter-less windows. A gorgeous floor-to-ceiling fireplace creates a focal point and brings some traditional vibes into the modern space.
