⨠A Historic New Smyrna Beach Transformation â¨
Some homes deserve more than staging.
They deserve to have their story brought to life.
I recently had the privilege of staging "El Real Retiro," an extraordinary historic waterfront home in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, nestled beneath majestic oak trees along one of the area's most treasured stretches of the Intracoastal Waterway.
Every design decision was intentionalâfrom creating inviting entertaining spaces to highlighting the home's original character while allowing prospective home buyers to envision a refined coastal lifestyle.
Historic homes have a soul. My goal is never to compete with that character, but to enhance itâcreating spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and unforgettable from the moment buyers walk through the door.
This remarkable luxury home offers:
⨠Direct Intracoastal waterfront access with a private dock and 10,000-pound boat lift
⨠A screened pool, spa, and putting green designed for effortless entertaining
⨠Original hardwood floors, French doors, soaring ceilings, and timeless architectural details
⨠Beautifully updated kitchen, bathrooms, impact windows, electrical, and plumbing
⨠A short walk to the restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and charm of Historic Canal Street in New Smyrna Beach
It was truly an honor to help prepare this exceptional New Smyrna Beach home for sale for the market.
Congratulations to Jamie Stern of Magnolia Properties on bringing this one-of-a-kind property to market, and thank you for trusting AT HOME DESIGNS to help showcase its incredible potential.
Professional home staging isn't just about furniture. It's about creating an emotional connection that helps buyers fall in love before they ever move in.
Whether you're preparing to sell your home in New Smyrna Beach, searching for luxury waterfront real estate, or looking for professional home staging to maximize your home's value, thoughtful presentation makes all the difference.
I'm excited to begin sharing more of my recent staging and real estate projects in the weeks ahead.
