Lakeview Drive - A Special Marina Lifestyle

THE STATS : One of highest priced homes to sell in Hampstead in the past decade at $1,045,000 | Under contract in 41 days



THE PROJECT : This house was so much fun to design a staging plan for! It is a gorgeous custom home, located on the marina with a 60' boat slip out it's backdoor. Every single room in the house (except bathrooms) included a phenomenal view. It has a fantastic layout, with primary living all on one level... and outdoor living that you'd use equally as much as you are indoors. There was a large flex room on the ground level which we wanted to show more purpose for, so transformed it into a guest suite with the potential to be a second master... this may be one of our favorite room transformations. In addition to the main house, there was a guest house/studio apartment over a detached garage, which we wanted to highlight the size and use of. Our goal with this house was to make it light and bright, reflective of the scenery which became it's backdrop. We also wanted it to be a blend of coastal, transitional, and classically on-trend. We achieved this by sprinkling in some more contemporary lines but in textures that lend to the coast. Keeping things simple inside so that the view maintains the buyers focus the entire time they preview the home.

Cottage Bungalow in Center of Southport

Cottage Bungalow in Center of Southport

This bright cottage home in the heart of Southport was so much fun to stage. The renovation was very nicely done and made for a great pallet to bring in a fun staging with. Some of it’s challenges before staging were mostly spacing and rooms feeling small - but with the perfect pieces and placement, buyers easily saw the flow and could picture themselves living here - it didn’t last long!

Occupied Home in Saltwater Landing

This was a beautiful home occupied by a really sweet, very busy, family of 4 + pets! They were serious about selling though, as they were moving closer to family in the mid-west. So they followed our recommendations and kicked butt with their prep work, allowing us to showcase the true spaces of their home. Their hard work paid off, and not only did their home sell in a matter of weeks, but it also gave them a gigantic head start on their move, and made contract to closing a lot less stressful for them!
