24 Thornhurst Dr is a stunning three-bedroom midcentury modern property spanning over 2,200 square feet and located in one of Downtown Carmel’s most sought-after neighborhoods—just steps from the vibrant Arts and Design District. The architect was Avriel Schull, a prominent female architect known for her work throughout Indianapolis.
The home had been beautifully restored by its owner, Mikim Phan, who added high-end finishes while preserving the meticulous craftsmanship that made the architecture so uniquely captivating.
To showcase the property’s full potential, Nested Spaces led the home staging, with Misty Byers serving as the lead stager. Their approach was rooted in honoring the home’s original design while creating a cohesive, emotionally resonant environment that would speak to modern buyers.
- Living Room: Misty selected a low-profile boucle sofa and sculptural accent chairs to anchor the space. A unique credenza and carefully styled built-in enhanced the warmth and texture of the space.
- Dining Area: A tulip table paired with sleek, black chairs maintained the open flow and echoed the clean lines of the midcentury aesthetic, allowing natural light to shine.
- Styling Details: Large art pieces, brass lighting, ceramic vessels, and woven textiles added layers of sophistication and cohesion throughout the home.
Every piece was chosen with intention—balancing scale, proportion, and materiality to enhance the home’s rhythm and flow. The staging didn’t just furnish the house; it told a story of timeless design and thoughtful restoration.
Ms. Phan shared her perspective on the staging. “Fantastic experience…Misty was a joy to work with – organized, talented, and genuinely invested in making my home shine. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to highlight the property’s best features, and their work played a key role in attracting strong buyer interest.
Represented by James Robinson, the listing captured the essence of midcentury modern living—elevated, elegant, and deeply connected to its architectural roots. He complimented the partnership with Nested Spaces as “the staging package provided by Nested Spaces was nothing short of exceptional. The team and the process were highly impressive and the quality of the staging absolutely had a bearing on the superb final result that we were able to obtain for our client.”
