        "text": "Historic restoration aims to return a property to a specific past appearance, preserving its original materials and design as much as possible. Renovation, conversely, focuses on updating or improving a property, often altering its original character for modern functionality or aesthetics. For example, restoring a Victorian home in Alameda would focus on replicating original details, while a renovation might involve changing the floor plan or adding contemporary features not found in the original design.",
