Top Long Beach real estate agent Sue La Bounty is known for her keen design eye, helping local homeowners sell for more with just a few strategic - and affordable - updates.
Case in point, 3010 E 1st Street in Long Beach's historic Bluff Park neighborhood that Sue sold last year. The coveted 4-bedroom, 3-bath home, with a highly sought-after detached studio apartment located just one block from the ocean had plenty of charm and character but lacked continuity.
"The house needed a lot of work to get it ready for market," said Sue. "I used accessory staging to help prospective buyers envision themselves in the property by enhancing the natural aesthetic of that space, rather than taking away from it."
Sue La Bounty and her team focused on three major spaces to bring new life to this vintage Craftsman home.
Living Room
BEFORE
AFTER
- The homeowners moved out prior to going to market so that Sue and her team were able to declutter the entire house.
- A full deep clean was imperative so the floors were gleaming, the walls were spotless, and the fireplace popped.
- Sue's accessory staged the fireplace with simple items to draw prospective buyers in and allow them to reimagine the space with their personal property.
Kitchen
BEFORE
AFTER
- The already fabulous kitchen just needed a deep clean and complete decluttering to show off great bones and design.
- Simple staging warmed up this kitchen and highlighted its amazing architectural details and rich woodwork
Studio Apartment
BEFORE
AFTER
- The team painted and decluttered the studio, which already had a trendy bed swing.
- A deep clean, including windows, really helped this room shine!
- Removing the rug showcased the beautiful wood floors.
- Crisp linen and light staging of the bed and room gave the entire space a more modern vibe.
