Stained Glass Home Value Question: We Have A Colonial House Built In 1928. Halfway Up The Staircase Is A Small
Author: Rob // Category: Q&Awindow. we were thinking about replacing it with a stained glass window. it is small as in maybe 24 inches by 30 inches. would making an improvement like this be worth it as far as home value is concerned? this window is visible when standing in parts of the living room. my general guess is it would add more charm to a house which is already pretty charming (great architecture and lots of dark old molding) is it worth it?

Any upgrade that you do on an existing home is worth it. Even if it is only worth a lot to you. I agree that adding a stained glass window would add charm to the house. And who knows, if you choose to sell your house it might sell to a person looking for a stained glass window. I say go with your gut feelings.. And if you do the project yourself.. the cost is quite minimal. ~ Happy Holidays!!

It might add charm but I doubt it will affect value much.
Are you planning to sell the house? If so, I wouldn’t do a stained glass window. If not and you like the way the stained glass will look, go ahead and do it.

a small improvement like that is personal gain, but not a real estate bump.
a Major redo on your bath or kitchen would affect your homes value, not one Lil window…but great for Christmas enjoyment.
get it done
