Curb Appeal Crushes: What Instantly Makes You Fall in Love with a Home?
You know the feeling — you’re driving down a quiet street in Auburn or Opelika, and BOOM. There it is. The house that makes you do a double take. The one with perfect curb appeal. For me? It’s big windows, black shutters, and a front door that practically begs you to come inside.
We all have that one feature that gets us every time:
• A wide Southern front porch with a swing
• Fresh landscaping and trimmed hedges (bonus points for hydrangeas)
• A bold front door color that pops — deep red, navy, even mustard yellow
• Symmetrical window placement (it just feels right)
• Classic brick with black accents or charming board-and-batten
• Twinkling path lights or modern house numbers that say, “we’ve got style”
Curb appeal isn’t just about beauty — it’s about setting the tone for the whole home. And trust me, buyers notice. Whether you’re selling or just house-crushing like the rest of us, first impressions absolutely matter.
So what’s your curb appeal crush? Is it the charm of a cottage garden or the bold lines of a modern farmhouse? Tell me below!
