Well, no wonder it sold so quickly: with this kind of genius staging ...

80 Sawmill Lane, $3.495 million, has a contract just 8 days after listing.

One more note: the current listing accurately gives the date of construction for this home as 1951, even though it was totally renovated and expanded in 2005. The listing back then claimed a construction date of 2005. That was a common practice in those days, but I, and more importantly, buyers, prefer Ellen Moger’s straightforward approach.
