Sell This House: Madison, Wisconsin: Janet & Steve Buechner

A beautiful garden, four bedrooms, a huge rec room–this perfect family home is in a friendly community just a few minutes from Denver. Cindy and her teenage daughter Darcy have lived here for 12 years, but now Darcy is headed to college and there’s no need for all the space. What’s the problem? Cindy and Darcy watch the open house to see what folks really think of their home, then find our what designer Roger Hazard plans to bring in potential homebuyers. The basic plan: transform the tired, outdated house into a bright, sunny cottage by removing excess furniture, cleaning the place top to bottom, opening up the kitchen by creating a new eating area, de-cluttering and painting the bedroom, and trimming the patio foliage.
