The housing stock has increasingly become dominated by luxury condominiums and dwellings that make the most of the spectacular views while preserving a sense of comfort and privacy.

The typical dwellings in this area are located either in beautifully restored buildings from the turn of the 20th century or brand new complexes that overlook the waterfront. In either case, they tend to feature cutting-edge design, with gleaming hardwood floors and immaculate tile in the kitchens and bathrooms. Built-in cabinets with stylish backing and smooth, perfect finishes are common in these homes, which often have prominent lighting fixtures illuminating these features. The kitchens are appointed with elaborate mosaics of tile underneath the varnished oak cabinets and above the smooth porcelain or granite countertops.

The principal living spaces usually terminate in floor to ceiling windows that overlook the Harbor. In many cases, an exterior balcony is located directly off this space and can be accessed via a set of sliding glass doors. In some units, a balcony is also located off the master bedroom, providing a semi-private area on which residents can enjoy a cup of coffee or other beverage while taking in the view. The master bedrooms tend to be large enough to accommodate not only the bed, but several other pieces of furniture, including a dresser, a desk, and perhaps even a small couch or arrangement of chairs. These homes are often equipped with a number of creature comforts, including heated floors, a climate control system, and in many cases a fireplace which is activated by way of a gas switch. Many of these units span multiple floors, and are frequently accessed by a gorgeous spiral staircase that takes up very little room. In other units, a wider stair connects the different floors. Frequently, the space beneath the stairs is transformed either into an additional storage area or a small display area.

How to List Property

What is the most effective way to garner the attention of a qualified buyer? The first step in any sales process is to describe the property in detail, but not too much detail: an overly long description will turn off more buyers than it will bring in. The key is to create a listing that is descriptive yet pithy, an art in which we excel. By contacting us, a seller can start to receive pointers on putting together their listing, as well as be put in touch with buyers who are interested in the specific amenities that property has to offer.

We also offer assistance with arranging viewing appointments, from handling messages from interested to buyers to setting up times to even recommending staging companies for those units where the owner has packed up their furnishings but still would like there to be the feeling of a home as well as stylish decor. We understand that the best way to expedite the sales process is to connect like-minded individuals who have the same goals. By bringing a curated list of buyers to see each property, we help both buyers and sellers realize their property goals in a very rapid timeframe.
