Beazer Challenge to Design a Dream Home

There are few smells in life that let the owners know they have earned something special. That new car smell that makes one just want to sit in the car and enjoy. The smell of fresh paint on a home that has undergone remodeling, or that especially fine sensory delight that comes from new everything in a home: wood, flooring, tile, paint, carpet, etc.

Beazer Challenge to Design a Dream Home

Not all home owners get to appreciate a new home, but for those fortunate to not only have the financial resources to buy one but also have the ability to look at a set of drawings and be able to make the changes in a cost effective manner that makes a special home, perfect.

Storage Space in a home is always at a premium particularly closets and pantry storage in a kitchen.

Bedroom storage whether in closets or just separate areas are essentially for clothes, and those functional accessories that find their way into corners.

At some place in the main living area, an over-sized closet that can not only serve as coat storage for guests but also for the vacuum cleaner or for homes with a central vac, convenient storage for the hose and accessories.

Home Office Considerations: With so many people having job flexibility that allows them to avoid the commute to an office and just do their jobs with an Internet connection, having an office space equipped with proper mechanicals and properly powered would be a nice feature. There should be adequate plugs, docking stations and power strips to keep our devices charged and always ready for use.

Light and recreational space: An area where a cup of coffee can be enjoyed while relaxing with views of the yard and maybe even getting some fresh air from the plants also benefiting from the light.

What ever designs we put to paper, the essence of a dream home is one where all can enjoy the available features and space and create a quality of life that typifies the efforts expended in our jobs ad the satisfaction of knowing our lifestyle was earned.

Good morning Ed. You make good sense and sure does sound like a more sale-able home.

Yes, good closet space is often hard to find in the older homes.  Nice features.

Ed I had not thought about it but you are right a new house like a new car does have a special smell to it.

Joe, I know those are features that would make a home more enjoyable to me.

Debbie, in some real old homes closet space is almost non existent, which makes it more of a necessity to new homes.

George, I'm sure you got a sense of that with the remodeling you just completed. Not to mention how much lighter you felt, in the wallet

Ed~ You hit several key areas. Storage is a hot button for many buyers that we work with.

Ed, your ideas are simply brilliant and so necessary. Why builders don't provide enough closet space and storage is beyond me. It's a universal problem regardless of income and price per square foot. I remember working with a buyer several years ago. She was looking for a 1/2 million dollar house and she was frustrated because of the issues you illustrated. And of course then there are people with smaller income and can't spend a lot but they still need storage and closet space. Is that too much to ask? I hope Beazer listens to you. You speak for the entire world of buyers everywhere!
