$29 MILLION DOLLAR HAMPTONS ESTATE - TO STAGE OR NOT TO STAGE - SEE THIS HOUSE (AGAIN)

Estate Hamptons parquet floors and oak paneled walls simple staging

Okay.  What do you do if you have a massive brand new empty $35 million dollar Hamptons estate listed on the market with no nibbles?  Let's see...what would I do...?  Hmmm...?  Thinking...?  Hmmm...?  A first world "problem" - I know.  A non-dilemma dilemma that must be figured out!

The answer to the first question is two fold...lower the price and stage the house with furniture and then see what happens.

That's exactly what was decided for this 12,000 square foot mansion with 7 bedrooms and 7 baths sitting right on Georgica Pond in the Hamptons.  The home is listed by Sotheby's.

About two years ago, I did a post here on COCOCOZY featuring this exact home when it was empty and was listed at $35 million dollars.

Now the home is cautiously filled with an edited selection of furniture and the price has been lowered to $29,999,995.

I liked this house way back when it was a blank slate - empty...no furniture...allowed me to dream.  In my view, the staging here doesn't really add or detract.  It serves a practical purpose of showing buyers what the house looks like furnished.  Let's see what happens now!

What do you think of this mansion before and after of sorts?  Do you like the home better staged with furniture or as an empty blank slate?  Do tell in the comments below!

Happy Monday!
