In this week’s episode, we explore a tastefully designed three-bedroom condo on the East Coast.

Inspired by modern Japanese design, this 1,270 sqft home is tailored for large family gatherings, with a special focus on the homeowners' passion for cooking.

Starting at the entrance, a long entryway welcomes you, adorned with full-height mirrors for a spacious feel. Fluted panels, extending from the entryway to the living room, conceal storage and add aesthetic charm.

Homes like this are as much about the property underneath as the design on top. The right layout, block and tenure make renovations like these possible, or much harder to achieve later.

That's often where we help readers: evaluating the property first, before committing to a big purchase.

Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.

Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.
