Every now and then, I come across odd spaces in North Scottsdale homes for sale. By that I mean an oversized walk-in closet the home owner isn’t using or maybe a dining room that has never been used. Even though builders have labeled these rooms for designated uses, doesn’t mean the space has to be used for that purpose.
On the flip side, maybe the homeowner is using the designated space in the way it was designed, but as a real estate agent in North Scottsdale, you might have a buyer who doesn’t, for example, want a dining room or a log-burning fireplace. So that’s where creativity comes into play. Instead of a fireplace, the area could be designated as a built-in entertainment center. Think of ways of redesigning these areas in North Scottsdale homes for sale. Here are more examples.
Oversized walk-in closet
While some home buyers dream of a walk-in closet, others, such as millennials, look at it as wasted space. So, as a seller or agent, you could also market the closet as a practical laundry space near the master bedroom or an upstairs laundry near the bedrooms. If there are a lot of shelves and cabinets in the closet, those can be repurposed for laundry supplies.
Built-in kitchen desk
Recently, kitchens in North Scottsdale homes for sale seemed to have functioned more like an office with “more equipment, counter, and seating.” As a result, homeowners installed more wall plugs and phone jacks. Now, with the downsizing of computer equipment with more people using laptops and tablets, fewer people are wanting a “kitchen office.”
Instead, why not promote a kitchen desk as “bonus kitchen storage space?” It could even be used as prep space for kids since most kitchen desks sit lower. Decorate the space with fun kitchen accessories and a few nice cookbooks.
Large dining room
Many of today’s buyers don’t have a need or care for a large dining room. Instead, they’d rather have the space for an entertainment center. Replace a dining room table with comfy chairs and a big screen TV and you might attract more buyers to your North Scottsdale home for sale.
