Junior League of Greater Princeton – Priory Court House Tour

April 18, 2012

Priory Court

Every year the Junior League of Greater Princeton picks a beautiful home to do up with all the latest and greatest the interior design world has to offer. Then, they open it to the public for anyone seeking  inspiration. They always use local talent and all proceeds go to charity. This year’s tour promises to be a special one as it is at Priory Court in the beautiful Edgerstoune neighborhood of Princeton. Priory Court was designed in 1933 by renowned architect, Alfred Hopkins. Hopkins was known as an estate architect who specialized in country houses and farms. He had a long list of well to do clients, including the highly discriminating Louis Comfort Tiffany, but it turns out his most difficult client to please was indeed himself:  he spent over 20 years searching for the perfect location to build his own estate, the stunning Priory Court! The attention to detail, quality of craftsmanship and old-world feel are extraordinary. We have it on good authority that Albert Einstein loved the music wing so much that he logged countless hours playing his violin there. The tour runs from April 22nd to May 20th.  There as some pretty nifty events planned so be sure to check the JLGP website at  www.jlgp.org . There is a one on one design consultation day, a special showhouse scoop tour with Princeton Tour Companies Mimi O and architect extraordinaire Max Hayden, and much more. We also cannot fail to mention (we are after all ladies of real estate) that this beautiful estate is…FOR SALE! http://www.callawayhenderson.com/listing/NJ/Princeton/124-Edgerstoune-Road/5715575/554810 . Enjoy!  Sig&Syl

Thinking of Selling?

February 7, 2012

If you are thinking of selling your home this spring, the time to prepare is now!  First impressions are everything, be it online or in person. February is the perfect month to start de-cluttering and sprucing up. Statistics show, homes that have been carefully prepared for sale not only spend less time on the market, but also consistently achieve a higher sale price.  Here is short list to get you started!

-De-clutter in order to give a more spacious and roomy feel.

-De-personalize by packing away photos and family heirlooms.

-Remove and replace any items you plan to take with you. Say for example; your dining room chandelier is a family heir loom. Take it down and replace it with a suitable fixture. If the buyer never sees it, she/he won’t want it.

-Make minor repairs inside and out.

-Make the house sparkle!

-Pretend you are the buyer and see if you’ve missed anything!

This is just a small sampling of a few of the things that should be completed in order to have a market ready home. We would be happy to come to your home and give you a thorough market evaluation as well as a comprehensive road map on how to get your home ready for sale.  We are fortunate to be backed by a world class agency, www.callawayhenderson.com  and can provide you with the best marketing, technology and services in the industry!

Cheers,

Sig & Syl
