Selling in the Suburbs

Before, the layout in the attic was awkward and full of wasted space. Now, it is has more usable living space and more storage. To get the extra space, the closet in the middle of the room is torn down and rebuilt in the back of the room. Then more storage is added with compartments and shelves built along the low sides of the attic wall. By staging the room as a master suite instead of the children’s room, the home will appeal to more homebuyers.
