BOOMERS WANT ROOMS FOR LIFE
Brookfield Homes Says Hobby Homes Are a Must-Have for Homebuyers
FAIRFAX, Va. Feb. 19, 2008 - With the time, desire and financial prowess to do what they love, baby boomers are demanding home designs that take into consideration their need for self-expression and the room to realize it. Responding to this demand from one of the country's largest population segments, Brookfield Homes is now offering its "Rooms for Life" concept.
With "Rooms for Life," a Brookfield Homes residence can now be designed to tap in to the boomer generation's desire to indulge their passion. This home concept gives boomers an outlet for self-expression, turning them into rebels with square footage.
"The Hobby Home concept is about giving homebuyers the space they need to enjoy the things they love without taking away from the rest of the home. That means a designated and comfortable place for a photography studio, a jewelry making workshop, or even a space to admire fine art," said Robert Hubbell, president of Brookfield Homes.
Nearly every Brookfield Homes' design offers at least one multi-purpose space. These rooms can become sanctuaries for long-loved hobbies or adaptable spaces that change as homeowners' needs change. What distinguishes these spaces is they do not replace or impose on needed bedrooms or overrun common areas like family rooms, dining areas or even the garage.
One such designated space is the impressive fifties nostalgia/music room that graces a portion of the finished basement of the Ayres model home at Dunbarton at Braemar, a gated active adult community from Brookfield Homes in Prince William County, Va. Visitors will find an entire wall covered with nostalgic 1950's 33LP vinyl records, chic 1950's décor, including classic model cars from the era, and a turntable to enjoy those classic albums that launched the Rock 'n' Roll era.
