This charming Cobble Hill townhouse at 212 Kane Street was a true labor of love to stage. With its high ceilings, ornate details, and a beautiful garden, the property already had a lot going for it. However, staging helped to showcase its full potential and attract the perfect buyer.
Staging Strategies:
-
Highlighting Architectural Features: The 12-foot ceilings in the parlor level were a major selling point. We emphasized them by strategically placing furniture to create a sense of spaciousness.
-
Creating Warmth: The house had a classic feel, so we incorporated warm neutrals and natural textures throughout. Think cozy throws, plush rugs, and natural wood accents.
-
Showcasing the Garden: The garden was a major highlight. We staged it with comfortable outdoor seating, lush greenery, and subtle lighting to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.
-
Creating a Flow: We focused on creating a smooth flow between the rooms, making the house feel connected and inviting.
-
Depersonalization: We removed any overly personal items to allow potential buyers to envision themselves living in the space.
Key Staging Areas:
-
The Kitchen: We staged the kitchen with high-end appliances and stylish cookware to appeal to aspiring chefs.
-
The Primary Bedroom: We created a luxurious retreat in the primary bedroom suite by adding a plush headboard, luxurious bedding, and a cozy reading nook.
-
The Living Room: We staged the living room with comfortable seating, stylish coffee tables, and artwork to create a welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere.
The Results:
Our staging efforts paid off! This beautiful townhouse quickly found its perfect match. Staging helped to showcase its unique charm and appeal to a wide range of buyers.
Make it hard for buyers not to fall in love!
Work hard to make your home look move-in ready and appeal to a wide range of buyers. Real estate is aspirational and emotional. When a home captivates a buyer’s heart, when they can imagine themselves living there, they’ll move quickly and make a higher offer. With interest rates higher, many buyers’ renovation budgets have shrunk. Inexpensive updates that freshen up your home, like painting, de-cluttering, and staging, can make a difference between receiving multiple offers over-ask and negotiating below your asking price.
That’s why I offer professional staging services to all of my clients at little to no cost. With my background in interior design and my team of professionals, I do everything from helping with decluttering and picking out paint colors, to completely furnishing and decorating your home. I’ll even pay the upfront costs until closing.
