This darling home at 4430 Southcrest in Preston Hollow is full of exceptional details. Jeannie Nethery of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty, who recently sold the home, said, “This home already had so much going for it— it has a lovely pool and landscaping, a great floor plan for a family, and two downstairs bedrooms, which is hard to find these days. Plus, it’s in a quiet and reserved part of the neighborhood on a private cul-de-sac.”
But the key to the sale, Jeannie said, was great home staging. “The home looked fabulous, but the decor was very personalized to the owners’ tastes. They allowed me to have some of the key rooms repainted in a more neutral color and to have someone come in and stage the home. Once we did this, the home sold right away!”
