Increasing numbers of Americans are choosing to include separate guest house plans in their custom homes. Guest house plans are useful when you want to build a separate building near but typically not physically connected to the main home.
Of course, the main appeal of guest house plans is that they make it easy to comfortably accommodate guests. If you incorporate a guest house on your property, you won’t be disturbed when Aunt Sally or Grandpa Joe gets up at an ungodly hour and begins making coffee. The separate foundation in most guest house plans eliminates such issues.
However, flexible guest housing is only one of several reasons to include guest house plans in your next home construction project:
1. Flexible housing for boomerang kids and aging relatives.Given the state of the economy and the aging baby boomer generation, many homeowners are now experiencing periodic additions to their families – sometimes for months on end. The recession and other factors have led increasing numbers of adult children to move back in with their parents following college. And many aging in-laws far prefer moving in with their younger relatives over moving into nursing homes. Guest house plans allow you to comfortably accommodate your family members’ needs – and they allow you to enjoy your own privacy and space at the same time.
2. The perfect party zone.If you love to entertain, guest house plans can provide the perfect place to host your next shindig. Guests will be able to enjoy themselves comfortably in your adjacent guest space. If things get a little too crazy and some party-goers need space to crash, your guest house will certainly come in handy; plus, it keeps your main home out of the party action.
3. Additional storage.No need to rent an extra storage unit if your new dream home includes guest house plans. With an extra residence at your disposal, you’ll have plenty of closet and garage space to store your most precious belongings.
