Is your custom home big enough for your needs? You can answer this question by thinking about the must-have spaces you want in your custom home. This means thinking about the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces you want. Do you and your spouse work from home? You may each need to have your own home office when you build on my lot in Jacksonville, FL.
Something else to consider when thinking about the size of your home is the vehicles that you have. Do you have oversized vehicles, like trailers, trucks, or boats, that you don’t want to leave outdoors? You may need a larger-than-normal garage.
You should also look at your existing furniture. Will it fit within the floorplan? Few things are as disappointing as deciding to build on my lot in Jacksonville, FL, and seeing that your cherished furniture does not fit.
In addition to thinking about the living spaces that you will need, think about the extra spaces your family will want in order to enjoy being at home on a regular basis. Focus on the areas that are going to improve your quality of life.
Don’t look at a custom home from the standpoint of square footage. You need to look at the floorplan and how the house flows. It is possible that a home that is nicely laid out can have a 2,500 square foot plan and provide a better solution for your needs than a poorly planned out 3,000 square foot design.
