With 4 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms (the bedrooms have new carpet and the bathrooms have been completely redone with new tile, fixtures and cabinets) in 1,625 sq. ft., this home is an exceptional value. And check out the new kitchen, with new cabinets, appliances and granite counters:

Since the outside of the house is painted that nice mossy green, I decided to carry that color into the living room and dining room:

Yes, that’s a fireplace and new engineered wood floors.

The master bedroom is very spacious with his and hers closets:

One more shot, just because I really love these green chairs and the silk throw pillows I used:

Here’s some information about Janes Cottages for JanesVillage.net:

Janes Village is a neighborhood in Northwest Altadena, California, (Where is Janes Village?) designated in 2002 as an “Altadena Heritage Area” by Altadena Heritage. This designation was bestowed upon the area because of the unique architectural and historical character of the homes of this area which were largely designed and built by Elisha (E.P.) Janes between 1924 and 1926.

This home is located at 460 Alberta Street, Altadena. MLS# S683835 .  $385,000 for 4 bedrooms/2 bathrooms!

Yesterday we staged this very lovely Altadena California cottage. This home is located at the top of Lake Ave. across the street from the Angeles National Forest, a mecca for Los Angeles outdoor enthusiasts. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and a very large family room with sliding doors that lead out to a private backyard, this Altadena home has something for everyone.  The seller is willing to add closets to the family room so it can become a very generous bedroom, bringing the total bedrooms to 4. The porch, which stretches across the front of the house, would be perfect for a couple of Adirondack chairs, to sit in while sipping iced tea and admiring the mountain view.

When we are staging a home, we select our furniture and accessories to accentuate the most positive features of the home. In this home, we want to call attention to the new hardwood floors, new tile floors, the fireplace, granite counters in the kitchen and 2 bathrooms, in particular. I usually use light colored living room furniture, which photographs better (for those all important MLS photos we provide with every staging) and makes rooms feel lighter and brighter. We also use furniture that is commensurate with the value of the home. We make sure our home staging adds perceived value to the home.

How? Have your investment real estate staged by professional home stagers at Moving Mountains Design.

As a wise real estate investor, you know you have to spend a little money to make even more money. Home staging has been proven to help homes sell faster than unstaged home, usually for a higher price. In one study, published by the Real Estate Staging Association, staged homes sold 74% faster after they were staged than when they were unstaged. That resulted in lower holding costs and less time wasted, which equals higher profits.
