Planning and building your forever home can take place at any point of your life. For some, it happens with the start of a family. Others wait until a career is well under way. Retirees, as well, find comfort in knowing that their dream home is finally possible. Forever homes give anyone the opportunity to finally have that right location, perfect layout and picture-perfect house that has always been so vivid.
As the wheels turn in your head and you consider what the future will bring, every detail in a new home seems almost overwhelming. The list of amenities grows and changes. But, at some point, you know exactly what you want.
Desired Location
South Tampa has a wide selection of neighborhoods where the subtropical climate draws many to outdoor living spaces. Easy access to major roads, the scent of the bay and like-minded neighbors often make an area seem perfect. Dreams of sitting on a patio and watching the sun set transform into reality when a custom home is built.
When choosing your perfect location, consider schools. How close is the neighborhood to work, recreational activities and shopping? As you age, having a hospital and doctor’s offices close by is often most important. Even the size of available lots is important if you plan to increase the square footage of your home later or add a second home to the lot.
Storage and Space
There never seems to be enough storage space in any given home. A custom builder, like Alair Homes South Tampa, understands this problem. We work with clients to shape storage and space into the best designs possible. Anything from built-in cabinetry to utilizing dead space is possible when working with specialty designers. The overall flow of a house can also make a home feel larger by delivering wider hallways, carefully placed lighting and great traffic flow.
Looking to the Future
Perhaps you have always wanted a master bedroom on a second floor. However, common sense tells you that stairs will prove challenging in the future, as you age. Custom planning might include an overly wide staircase where a mobilized chair is later installed. Planning a room downstairs is another option. If not a bedroom, perhaps a den with plenty of closet space to serve this future purpose. A savvy builder takes all of your concerns into account and designs a custom-built home that is easily revamped into a handicapped accessible property as needs change.
Positioning of a House
Direction and placement of windows opens your home up to sunlight and scenic outdoor views. This is particularly important to homeowners building in South Tampa or nearby as views of the West Palm Beach Golf Course and Port of Tampa are highly desirable. Watching the birds, enjoying a flower garden or seeing the sun rise over the bay from a favorite window makes a forever home more enjoyable.
There is nothing that cannot be accomplished when considering your forever home. Take the time to make a list of all your personal favorites, and watch them come together with the right custom home builder. Alair Homes South Tampa is ready to assist. Let us know how we can help.
