"Bigger isn't always better when it comes to choosing a home. In fact, it's often petite spaces that are the most appealing because what they lack in square footage, they can more than make up for in coziness, style, and creative layouts. Case in point: This petite bungalow in Seattle, Washington. Built in 1942, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home had never been renovated until recently when it was purchased by a builder."
"The builder did a full remodel of the house plus its adjacent accessory dwelling unit (ADU) which features a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Among the changes were removing dated wallpaper and carpet (bye-bye, mustard yellow living room rug!), widening the doorway between the kitchen and living room to create a more open-concept space, and giving the whole home - stone fireplace included - new lighter, brighter paint."
"The stager kept first-time homeowners in mind. "My vision for this property is directed toward a first-time homeowner - perhaps a bachelor who potentially works from home and is looking to generate additional income by renting out the ADU, or a new family with a child anticipating frequent family visits and in need of extra space to warmly welcome their guests," she says."
Built in 1942, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow in Seattle had never been renovated until a builder purchased it and removed dated features like yellow carpet and wallpaper. The builder completed a full remodel of the main house and its adjacent accessory dwelling unit (ADU), adding a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom to the ADU, widening the kitchen-to-living-room doorway for an open-concept feel, and repainting the interior with lighter, brighter tones, including the stone fireplace. A professional staging team from Upstaging Seattle furnished and arranged spaces to appeal to first-time homeowners, highlighting rental income potential from the ADU and creating warm, functional layouts that emphasize coziness and usability.
