House Hunt: High End Homes Feature Fabulous Landscapes

How can you increase your home's curb appeal? Check out these stunning properties and what they've done with their front yards for some great ideas.

Something new starting this week — we've added Bloomfield Hills homes to our House Hunt mix and found twelve properties in Farmington Hills/Franklin, West Bloomfield, Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills for you to admire. These homes are priced between $500,00 to $999,000. Not quite million dollar homes, but they have all the amenities most of us would ever want or need.

One thing all of these beautiful homes have in common (with the exception of the property on Inkster Road, which appears to have landscaping under construction) are immaculate lawns and gardens — there's not a dandelion in sight! Something to think about if you're planning on selling your own home or just want to spruce things up a bit.

Curb appeal is king, and nothing makes a great first impression like a beautifully kept yard with interesting landscaping details. The smallest, most modestly priced home can look fantastic and upscale with a little care and landscape design planning.
