    As the saying goes, “you never get a second chance to make a first impression!” So, if you’re thinking about selling, take a spin around the neighborhood and approach your home with fresh eyes. Imagine what homebuyers might focus on when they first arrive. Here are a handful of inspiring examples.

    Country Comfort

    Anchoring your front entrance with seating, as the homeowners did at this 8,000-square-foot colonial farmhouse in North Salem, lets visitors know this is a home where people like to gather. And the stars and stripes add an all-American, patriotic touch.

    Waterfront Welcome

    Don’t forget about the back entrance!  Just because most of your guests and potential homebuyers arrive by car to enter through the front door, with a fabulous property to explore, they’ll surely be approaching your home from all directions. The pretty dock that leads to this Blue Heron Lake modern estate compels sailors and paddlers to come take a look!
