What Rooms Sell the House?
After nearly 30 years of representing properties up and down the coast, there is one constant that I have seen time and again when showing homes — all buyers are looking for where they are going to hang out!
And, whether it’s a first time buyer or a seasoned homeowner buying a luxury second home, the rooms that matter most are the kitchen/great room and primary suite - and studies show these are the spaces that sell a home. Here are a few of my picks of homes that really deliver these spaces:
Kitchens That Speak to Lifestyle
1803 Fernald Point Lane, which just sold last week, was a perfect example of the kitchen/great room/primary trifecta as all were on the main level and had the added bonus of sweeping ocean views.
At 220 Montecito Ranch Lane, marble and light define the kitchen/great room space and 150 Cedar Lane is a single level gem embracing warmth, texture and views.
Living Rooms That Invite You In
Single level living is on full display at 2125 Birnam Wood Drive, with soaring ceilings and masterfully designed spaces full of texture.
Two more great properties that deliver today’s most desirable floorpans - 120 Polo Way (listed by Calcagno & Hamilton Group) offers warm finishes and unobstructed polo field views and at 890 Park Lane (listed by Riskin Partners Estate Group), ocean views and refined design create a space that speaks to a life well lived.
Primary Suites That Set the Scene
At 796 Hot Springs Road, garden serenity defines the primary suite, which is also well placed at the east end of the home.
1077 Summit Road pairs expansive volume with enchanting views, and 1181 Glenview Road invites quiet retreat with a private patio and cozy fireplace.
