At this property, the challenges were in the details. We began by repainting the trim to match the house, replacing exterior lighting with larger and style-appropriate fixtures, and replacing the fence with a new board-on-board privacy fence to be stained to match the house. We removed the hot tub and redesigned the patio with an Asian influence, installed a table/bar, reed ceiling and palm fan. The dead lawn beside the patio became a lovely rock garden bordered by a gently curving lirope-bordered path leading to the garden building now accented with planted borders, planted window boxes and beautiful accent shrubbery. Liriope borders surround the entire house now and lush accent grasses border the front drive. All plantings were selected and installed for minimum maintenance.

The interior detail improvements included new porcelain tile flooring in the kitchen and laundry room (which also received new cabinets and lighting), a new chandelier for the living room; new floor-to-ceiling lined custom drapery (in go-with any décor fabric) in the living room, dining room, and master bedroom; repainting/finishing all of the kitchen cabinets and walls; neutralizing the master bath and replacing electrical outlet and switch covers that had simply been painted over. Even the front door received a new classy chocolate brown paint accented by new hardware. Yes, the details made all of the difference for the new owners. The property rented quickly and it rented well.
