3 Things To Consider When Building Your Forever Home

3 Things To Consider When Building Your Forever Home
Are you in the market for your forever home? Finding the right home in the right location for your family can feel like a lot of pressure, especially if you’re planning to live there for the rest of your life. So, instead of scouring the market for the exact right house, why not build a luxury custom home to meet all your needs?
When designing and building your forever home, it’s important to remember that a lot will change in your life between now and forever. If you have small children now, this home will see them grow and turn into teenagers. Or if your adult children are out of the house, this home may eventually play host to your grandchildren. So what are the most important things to remember when building a home to grow old in?

Future Accessibility
Chances are you’ll lose some of your mobility as you age. Getting up and down stairs may become less comfortable, and safety will become a concern. For this reason, many families choose to build their luxury custom homes with the master bedroom on the first floor so that, if necessary, most of your daily life can be managed without climbing stairs. That said, if you prefer to have a master on the second floor there are accessibility modifications like elevators and stair lifts that can be added on when needed. Other modifications like shower bars, pool lifts, and wheelchair ramps are also easily added on later in your life.

Available Space
Over time, the space needs of your family will continue to change. If your children have left the nest you may be thinking about opting for a smaller house, but don't forget you may eventually be hearing the pitter-patter of little feet when the next generation of your family comes along.

Downsizing may seem like an easy fix, but make sure you’ve considered how your family will continue to morph over the next decade. Eventually, you may require in-home care, and having those extra bedrooms will be a godsend. Plus, if you love to entertain, your forever home may be just the right space to host all of your friends and family. The growing trend of multigenerational homes is also something to take into consideration, as living with family can be an excellent way to remain independent as you get older.

Long Term Location
No matter the point you are in your life, choosing the right location for your luxury custom home is a priority. If you’re young with children you’ll be thinking about neighborhoods with the best schools, but as you age and your children leave the nest you may be more focused on proximity to grocery stores, hospitals, and doctors offices. Finding a location for your forever home isn’t always easy, but it’s absolutely worth it! If finding an open lot to build in your ideal neighborhood is proving to be difficult, consider buying an existing home that you like and remodeling it to fit your lifestyle.

Building a home that accommodates your ever growing and changing family can be a big undertaking, but it’s well worth it in the long run. Factors like accessibility, size, and location are key in meeting your current needs as well as the future needs of your family. And, if you can’t find the right location to build your forever home, we’d be happy to help you renovate a home into the luxury custom home of your dreams.
