For the past few weeks, we have been focusing on homes designed with two owner’s suites and the possible living situations that might warrant dual-suites. This week we’re going to focus on multiple owner’s suites and why you might consider this design concept. Not only for special living situations, but also for long-term or even resale value.
Take for instance a recent request for a home with not just two suites, but a trio of owner’s suites! Three widowed ladies were looking for a living arrangement that provided companionship and independent living, yet still enjoy the advantages of home ownership. Their request – design a plan with three owner’s suites! Each having their own space, yet being able to gather together for meals, entertaining, and conversation – this was their ideal home design.
Another scenario for multiple owner’s suites is simply wanting family members to have their own space. Wouldn’t it be great if the kids had their own bathrooms? No more arguing on who’s taking too much time in the bathroom. And, a separate powder room for guests means you never have to be embarrassed about a possible mess in the kids’ bathroom when an unexpected visitor stops by! It could also be convenient for frequent overnight guests to have their own suite to feel more at home.
Design Basics’ gorgeous new (Serena plan #42282, above) offers something rarely seen in a moderate-size home – all four bedrooms function as suites! The main floor illustrates the growing popularity of what can be dual-owners’ suites, each with two sinks, oversize shower and private toilet area. Some people will build the home as a 2-bedroom ranch and finish additional living space in the basement.
As originally designed, the two second-floor bedrooms serve as suites, offering big windows, walk-in closets, and adjoining baths. Perfectly designed for multi-generational households, bedrooms 3 and 4 are separated by a family lounge area, perfect for cuddling up with the kids/grandkids and for an additional entertaining/homework space when the kiddos get older!
The Tucker Terrace (plan #50039, above) is another unique design for a multiple suite plan, offering three bedroom suites in a 2,709 sq. ft. ranch style home. The owner’s suite is in close proximity to the second bedroom suite, suitable for a child’s room or aging relative. The third bedroom suite is located off the garage on the opposite side of the home, providing privacy and independence for a live-in relative or college student.
