Edmonton Character Home

Thursday, June 6th, 2013

 

Downtown Edmonton is where you will find this character home.  Close to so many amenities, you don’t even need a car.  Shopping, Public Transportation, Hospitals, Schools, The New Arena, Stadium, where can you find so much in your backyard.

Private yard with single detached garage, 872 square feet of living space on main level.  This home has so much for it’s size. There have been a lot of upgrades done in the last few years, but the character of the home has never been lost.  The original hardwood floor has recently been redone, the windows are still framed in the original wood, AND  the doors have the original GLASS DOOR KNOBS with the keys.   The kitchen has newer cabinets and opens up to the living/dining room which has a gas fireplace, those long winter evenings are looking better already.  Family gatherings come easy in this home with visiting made easy.

The bedrooms are a good size and both have spacious closets.  The 4 piece bath finishes up the main floor.  Downstairs you  have a bedroom, bonus room, and a 3 piece bath.  This character home has hot water heating which is unique and cost effective.

Edmonton Home Stager: Staging Your Basement when Selling Your Home

Friday, October 7th, 2011

Basements are usually the last place that a buyer sees when viewing your home. So why not make it a lasting impression?


Here are some things to consider when ‘Setting the Stage’ for the basement:

 1. Clean up and Clear out – get a bin, bag, shovel – whatever you need to only leave the essentials behind – less is more in this case – always…and no kitty litter in sight!!
2. Give Purpose to the space:
i. ) if the basement is unfinished and is used for storage – then make the best most organized storage space on the block – painted floors, proper shelving , bins for storage that fit into the shelving. It also shows that you are a conscientious home seller!
ii.) if the basement is divided into a bedroom and recreation space – play up the function of these 2 rooms
III.) if the space is one big rectangle: divide it into a games table section, desk area and a t.v. area using a couch table or Ikea low rise open book shelf unit to divide the spaces.
3. Apply Basic Staging Rules: lighting in a triangular positioning – make sure you have lamps/lighting in three areas of any given room; when in doubt angle your furniture/bed – this always makes the room look bigger by defining the space more efficiently; and all art work at eye level – or in a collage at eye level.
4. Warm it Up! If a buyer feels the basement is too cold – they will deem it not as user friendly – therefore attach less value to the over feel of the home…

5. Place a sticker on the furnace and hot water tank stating the age of them and when they were last serviced – buyers will really appreciate the notice.

Basements are often overlooked by home sellers – when it comes time to sell. However – on the buyers end of things – it is one of the aspects of a home that may make or break a decision. A well presented, and well kept basement completes the perfect home package for alot of home buyers out there. This is becoming increasingly so.
AND – if you live in a new home – finishing your basement right away – well ahead of the rest of your neighbors will ensure you have a completely finished home when you go to sell. Apples to apples for newer homes -ones with finished basements sell quicker and for more money!
