Not often is the Urban Dictionary the place you start when selling real estate, however this new listing of mine has me thinking it makes the perfect time to talk about this term that’s been running through my head: Home Swagger.
“Swagger is to conduct your self in a way that would automatically earn respect.”
“How one presents him or her self to the world.”
I’ve always been interested and intrigued with the way a home can be styled, designed, kept, maintained, etc. The homes that have some swagger are the most enjoyable to sell. They have personality. They can be showcased. They can BE sold!
Not only are homes with swagger fun to sell, they are fun to experience. A home with swagger is set up, and arranged with purpose. It maximizes functionality of all spaces. And it presents itself in a manner than commands attention.
I have been thinking about this term #HomeSwagger for some time now, and this new listing in Newton is the perfect candidate to exemplify some of these thoughts and ideas. The house is a one-owner home that was ahead of its time. The design, layout, and materials used are trends and styles that people are using today.
702 W 8TH, NEWTON, KS
$189,000
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2,642 square feet on the main level, with an unfinished basement (space for more living area and plumbed for another bathroom)
Let’s start with the kitchen, for example. The cabinets are sought-after St Charles cabinets, which I have fallen in love with. If I wasn’t worried about doing the home a disservice, I would pull them out of the house to use on a future project. The style, construction, and functionality of the cabinets are ready to be enhanced and brought to life for the next home owner.
In addition to the killer kitchen, the layout and space of the house is deceiving and can only be truly appreciated if you tour the home. The house features an open floor plan that comes to life with all the natural light coming through the large doors and windows. Rooms are all spacious and thoughtfully placed. There are 3 fireplaces located throughout the house to create several comfortable spaces. Square footage was put to use in all corners with an abundance of closets, and even a pocket office situated off the informal living area!
The house is situated on a corner lot, and located within a quite, mature neighborhood. It is hard to find properties that offer the space, and style that this home does, while also being able to offer the potential for equity gain for the next home owners. With a few touches of personal style, the next home owners will realize the gem they found once they are settled, and experiencing this homes swagger!
If you feel like you have a home with swagger, tell us about it. We can help you sell it, enhance it, or create the swagger for you!
