One of the first things realtors evaluate in selling a house is curb appeal which is how the house and yard look from the street and is the first impression potential buyers get of it.

It is a universal truth that attractiveness and beauty enhance physicality.

The question I ask is why wait until you are preparing to put your residence on the market to have a great appeal?

Who approaches the house most often, either by foot or by car, for the length of time that you live there?

You as the owner do.

So, why not make your curb appeal great and enjoy it and appreciate it every day that you live there?

As often written about many times before, many of the newer houses that come across my desk from around the country have a double garage door as the main focus point on the front facade.

While this feature may be the result of making the best use of the spaces involved, such should not mean that it has to manifest bad aesthetics.

There are a few of these newer houses which have intelligently worked out a design so that this double door garage, along with the entire front of the residence, is a completely balanced aesthetic composition which is a delight to view.

Landscaping is also important in curb appeal and should be designed to enhance the curb appeal within the overall composition of the space.

So, go outside and look at your residence from the curb and evaluate intelligently and aesthetically what you see.

Any thing that can improve the aesthetics of your day-to-day existence is of merit.

Food for thought.
