Whether you are building or shopping for a new home, you will likely have a full range of features to consider. Don't be tempted to buy a loaded home with specialties you probably won't use. Look for features that will add to your comfort or convenience now and add to the home's value if you decide to sell it in the future.
Plenty
of Storage
Cupboards, closets, and shelves are eagerly sought by many homebuyers. They prefer storing their extras at home rather than paying for monthly storage elsewhere. Walk-in closets are another valuable feature that may enhance a home's value. Space for clothes, shoes and accessories with helpful lighting and room to move around or even try on items is a definite plus.
Laundry
Room
A main floor laundry room offers convenience and saves steps when managing the household laundry. The ideal laundry room could have a washer and dryer along with a stationary tub for soaking especially dirty items. Cupboards for laundry supplies and a countertop for folding items just out of the dryer keep the area compact and organized. If the room is big enough, a table for ironing or light sewing repairs is also desirable.
Hardwood
Floors
Many people love hardwood floors because of their classic beauty and durable nature. They work with any decorating scheme and color patterns. A hardwood floor is easy to clean and maintain. Wipe up spills immediately to avoid stains, but you probably won't have to put in the grueling amount of time and effort that is needed to clean certain carpet stains. If you want to change the look of your hardwood floor now and then, you can lay down a large area rug or several small accent rugs in print or solid designs.
Indoor-Outdoor
Living
Coordinate your indoor and outdoor living space for a seamless transition when an expanded area is needed for parties or celebrations. Family members can enjoy a beautifully landscaped yard from the privacy and comfort of a well-designed patio or a four-seasons room. The ability to enjoy nature's beauties from an extension of your home's interior space will add a functional area for a variety of uses. From an open deck to an enclosed sunroom, homebuyers love the spacious freedom of extended living. Many new homes now offer this feature in a variety of styles and architectural designs.
When you
shop for the home that best meets your family needs, consider options like
these to fully enjoy the comforts of your new residence.
