After home staging the answer is a resounding YES!
This historic 10,000 square-foot home on 38 acres and built in 1870 with multiple out buildings is for sale – again.
After 2 years and 4 agents, staging is recommended. The home is staged with minimal expense, and maximum effort.
The Clinton’s passed on this home. But would they buy it now, after home staging? We’ll never know.
After the sale, here is what homeowner Janet had to say about the experience:
“This wasn’t the first time we tried to sell our home, so we were open to new ideas. One of those ideas – suggested by our agents – was home staging. At first I was a little hesitant. To be honest, the idea of someone coming through my home and critiquing it made me a bit nervous and uncomfortable. But Susan dispelled all those fears and made me feel totally at ease. (The fact that she kept telling me I had good taste didn’t hurt either!) After all the staging was done, I wondered why I had ever been nervous. It was a lot of work, but overall the experience was enjoyable. And now I’m looking forward to buying a new home – in the area. We already plan to invite Susan to help from day one, so we may enjoy the home to its fullest the entire time we live there, not just when we are getting ready to sell. I also appreciate the fact that Susan used what we already had, and kept expenses to a minimum. After this experience, I would not hesitate to stage and look forward to working with Susan again when we purchase our new home.”

New window treatments and rugs, combined with the home owners’ furniture borrowed from the adjacent living area, give this entry the formality it is missing. First impressions start here.

Every space is staged. Some need more work than others. The previous pictures are the most dramatic transformations. Here are some of the listing pictures for your enjoyment.
How often do you see inside a home this grand and historic without an admission ticket?
