Split-level houses are common in the Greater Seattle area. One of the common challenges with these homes is the open floorplan with misaligned fireplace and stairway railing. The features we chose to highlight in the living area are the fireplace, floor-to-ceiling window, and fully updated chef's kitchen. Floating furniture and careful placement of the accent colors allowed us to evenly distribute our staging pieces. So we were able to create a cozy lounging area close to the fireplace without blocking any of the home's selling features.

This split level property in Centennial, Colorado had T1-11 siding. The paint was peeling and the composite wood was swelling and flaking off in areas. This home needed some TLC. Colorado Siding Repair installed James Hardie’s primed Sierra 8 Panel Siding to match the current look. Once the new siding was in place, we painted the whole house with Sherwin-William’s Duration. The homeowner chose Web Gray, trim in Early Gray, and the front door in Expressive Plum. This straight-forward, cost-effective home exterior renovation drastically improved the curb appeal of this home. What do you think?
