Deephaven Great Room
multiple offers + over asking in the first weekend!
Sometimes a home just needs a little extra push!
This beautiful single family home in Deephaven near Wayzata and Lake Minnetonka was all ready to go to market - except for the large, empty family room on its walkout lower level.
One of the largest spaces in the home, the room needed to transform into a family friendly great room, complete with flexible spaces for relaxing and entertaining. We matched our professional staging to the tone and quality of the rest of the home, incorporating existing furniture pieces with a new layout that showed off how this space could easily become the heart of this home’s daily life.
Buyers fell in love! Competing rival offers and a deadline called in the first weekend produced a sale price $65k over asking - especially noteworthy when nearby homes were selling under list price.

Before & After Wayzata Great Room
Before and After
before:
most of the large room sat empty and unused, with a few furniture pieces bunched in a far corner and blocking the light. Meanwhile, a large and heavy treadmill with nowhere else to go needed a home. Overall, the huge space felt disconnected from the rest of the house, lacking both purpose and emotional appeal.
after:
three distinct zones brought flexible functionality to the whole space: a confortable seating area for relaxing with the family, an entertaining area - great for table top games or sleep-over friendly meals - and a dedicated work out area. Sophistcated dark wood accents throughout tied in with beautiful built in cabinetry upstairs in the rest of the home, while pops of color took inspiration from the backyard and nearby parkland just outside. Low profile seating and clear traffic pathways kept sightlines focused on the beautiful great outdoors through the windows and patio door.
