8 benefits of a colonial-style home
There are many different styles of built and inhabited homes including Colonial, Ranch, Split Ranch (Splanch), Split Level, Contemporary, Cape Cod, Gothic, Tudor, Mediterranean, etc. Different people prefer each style and each has both strengths and weaknesses. In some areas of the country, one style fetches a higher asking price, in most cases, than others, however that should only be one of a prospective homebuyer’s considerations, when selecting the right style for they. Contemporary-style houses are considered by many to be the most traditional and one of the most popular, but in some regions of the country, Mediterranean and contemporary houses have surpassed them. This article will discuss 8 benefits of a COLONIAL home style.
1. Classic: Colonial homes are often considered among the most classic in America. They fall into certain categories, depending on their design, but they almost always include a prominent staircase, a cohesive structure and design, etc. They come in a variety of sizes and are somewhat easy to identify. They are extremely functional, with a kitchen, dining room, living room, den and bathroom on the first floor, exits usually through the back to the backyard, a staircase (if it is in the middle of the house, it is generally considered a central Colonial Hall), and bedrooms on the second floor.
two. Organized Floor Plan: The overall design of this style home is consistent, usable, and makes perfect sense. It is often considered to be an ideal layout for families, because most, if not all, of the rooms are on the same floor.
3. Live (capacity): How livable a home is, it often draws people to one style of home over another! Colonial houses are generally considered quite livable and efficient!
Four. Options: These homes can be easily customized to best suit the needs and wants of each homeowner. You can create your ideal kitchen, expand the space, have a formal dining room, or turn it into a country kitchen / dining room combination. You can create a special master bedroom, if you like, keep it simple, etc. There is often a master bathroom, as well as at least one additional bathroom upstairs and a half or full bathroom downstairs. These houses generally flow well!
5. Needs: They can be configured and adapted to suit individual needs and priorities!
6. Interests: Do you need a home office? Adapt a small bedroom to an office, or vice versa! How do you want to design your terrain, entrance hall, staircase, etc.?
7. Accessibility: If someone doesn’t want stairs, this is probably not the ideal design, although one could adapt it for almost any eventuality. Front and rear entrances, etc., are customizable.
8. Design: Potential home buyers should consider whether the layout and design of this style of home is a good fit for their needs, priorities, and tastes.
Like most things in life, they wouldn’t make many different styles of homes, if there wasn’t a need and a demand! This article briefly explains some of the reasons someone might favor a colonial style.
