REAL ESTATE
There is a relatively long-stand-ing edict in residential real estate:When selling your home, give itfresh coats of paint in popularneutral colors.
The snap of a freshly painteddécor, combined with the soft,subtle hue is said to be most ap-pealing to buyers as they considerhome options.
“The use of bold color in ahome’s interiors can help to getthe attention of prospective home-buyers who are surfing the Webfor their dream home,” accordingto Carol Zuckert, a Realtor withSotheby’s International Realtyand the owner-developer of 9Keofferam Road, a 6,000-square-foot, six-bedroom coastal colonial,which debuted in 1910 but wasre-imagined through Zuckert’sredesign.
“Today, the majority of home-buyers start their search online, soit is important to have eye-catch-ing photos. While neutral colorsallow buyers to visualize theirfurnishings and artwork in ahome, bold color used in discreetspaces, such as libraries and pow-der rooms, create drama anddraws a person into the space,where they can visualize them-selves and create a mental connec-tion,” Zuckert explained.
9 Keofferam Road is Zuckert’sthird major development projectin Greenwich. She previouslydeveloped 17 and 19 Pintail Laneand built her own two homes at 19Sherwood Farm and, more recent-ly, 2 Highview Avenue in OldGreenwich.
“At 9 Keofferam, I decided touse a deep navy-blue paint in thelibrary and an oversized gold lightfixture, which creates contrastand drama,” Zuckert said.
“Blue is a color that is popularwith both men and women and isconsidered to be beneficial to themind and body, as it symbolizescomfort, calmness, safety, loyalty,wisdom and trustworthiness. Iworked with Kate DeCarlo, ownerof Greystone Staging, to accesso-rize the room with gold accentsand beautiful furnishings,” shecontinued. “The navy color is then
continued in the staging of theneutral open spaces throughoutthe home in the form of furnish-ings, pillows and accessories, sothe color palette of the home re-mains consistent.”
Whether it’s marketing her ownprojects or the homes of her sell-ing clients, Zuckert said that popsof color — tastefully chosen andexpertly applied — can furtherdistinguish properties online.There’s evidence to support thattheory.
“The increasing use of social-media applications, such as Face-book or Instagram, to market andpromote homes for sale also bodeswell for the use of color in homeinteriors,” Zuckert explained. “Astudy conducted by Reader’s Di-gestfound that Instagram photosthat had one dominant color re-ceived 17-percent more double-taps than those with multiplecolors.”
‘A splash of color’
The newly constructed six-bedroom Georgian colonial at 37Doubling Road in mid-countrywas developed by GreenwichCustom Home Builders, LLC, anddesigned by James Schettino Ar-chitects. It’s an outstanding prop-erty both “IRL” and through its
virtual presence. Shelly TretterLynch of Compass is serving asthe listing broker for the $5.295million property.
Here, the décor is predomi-nantly a blank slate for the poten-tial, with white-on-white wallsand moldings, contrasted by dark-er-stained hardwood floors withcharacter. Even the kitchen is
crisp and bright — white cabinets,white surfaces, set off only by therichness of the hardwood and thesheen of the high-end stainless-steel appliances.
The home’s library breaks fromthat neutral theme. Its walls,crown moldings, fireplace mantleand buttressed built-ins have beenuniformly painted in a muted bluehue. Buyers browsing online mayremember this space as one of therooms that prompted them to seekout an in-person tour of the home.
“Neutral colored interiors in-voke a sense of new, clean, purespaces, as well as blank canvasesfor new owners, and therefore amajority of sellers opt to followthis trend,” according to TretterLynch. “For this reason, it’s im-portant to stand out from themasses. A splash of color in one ortwo rooms is a great way to makea memorable impression on po-tential buyers.”
