In terms of what the market has to offer, this region is full of townhouses that span two to three stories, and usually have their own attached garages. Two to three bedrooms are common in this region, and most of these properties have generous floor plans, with 2,400 square feet being average. How is all of that space used? Primarily, it goes into creative floor plans. While the great rooms are indeed great, the central staircases are also expansive, with extended landings large enough for a small tableau of furniture or a decorative display. In some of these homes, a loft space that can double as an office or library is sited above the great room, allowing residents to overlook the living area. These loft areas also provide the opportunity for elongated banks of windows, sometimes spanning two or more stories. The accompanying cathedral ceilings create a feeling of vastness and splendor while also functioning as a giant light well, helping to keep the interiors bright and welcoming.

The bedrooms tend to favor a cozier make-up, with slightly recessed ceilings and lighting. A bank of windows is usually present here as well, although dramatic vaulted ceilings are not often used. Skylights will occasionally be present in a master bedroom or bathroom to create a feeling of drama and anticipation. In some units, a skylight with frosted glass will be mounted over the shower to provide natural light and the sense of an atrium space. In many places, the bathrooms are large enough to accommodate both a shower and a separate bathtub.

The beauty of the outdoors is a major selling factor in this area, and subsequently most units purposefully interface with nature, often situating the windows to provide the best views of the exterior. The exterior decks, which are usually accessed via a set of sliding glass doors from the principal living space, are often bridges between the stately interiors and the scenic wilderness outside. For those units built on the lip of a pond or the woods, the deck may have a set of stairs that leads down to the water or to a hiking trail. In other instances, the deck is built to provide an awe-inspiring view of the natural surroundings.

Most of the exteriors of these homes either have vinyl siding or a mixture of clapboard and brick. Those homes that are renovations tend to built from brick, although concrete and granite are sometimes used to finish the facade.

How to List Your Property

Selling a property can be a rewarding experience, but it also requires some legwork. When was the property originally constructed, and what is its total square footage? How many bedrooms does it have, and what are its special features? These questions may seem simple on their surface, but creating a listing that not only lists the basic details of a property but conveys what it’s like to live there is more of an art than a science. Luckily, by contacting us, a seller can gain insight into what listings are selling these days. We provide suggestions and advice on putting together a compelling yet pithy description, as well as what photos to include to help transform a browsing buyer into a serious one.

We also offer sellers the opportunity to connect with buyers who are already very interested in what their property has to offer. Instead of holding open houses with groups of people who may or may not be interested, we offer a targeted series of viewing appointments with buyers who have expressed specific interest in that property. By contacting us, a seller can dramatically expedite the process between listing and the close of escrow.
