Specialty Rooms Home Buyers Really Want - part 2

Every homebuyer has an ideal home in mind. Location, home size and features are among the top considerations when deciding if a home is right for you. However, one new home feature that piques homebuyer interest is specialty rooms. Beyond bedrooms and bathrooms, specialty rooms have a specific purpose. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) surveyed recent and prospective buyers about what specialty room they considered essential and desirable in their new home. The survey results may surprise you!

Sun Room
The home décor theme of bringing the outdoors in via natural light and indoor plants is growing in popularity. More than half of buyers (54%) in the survey considered a sun room essential/desirable. Generally, sun rooms have large or floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize natural light and can be enjoyed in the summer, spring and fall. In addition, a home with a sun room adds more square feet, providing ample space to unwind and soak up natural light.

Breakfast Nook
Stylish and functional, breakfast nooks provide extra space for dining and spending time with family. More than half, 52%, of survey respondents considered a breakfast nook an essential feature. Nooks vary based on the style of your home. However, you can generally find them near or on the side of your kitchen with chairs or a bench and a small table. A designer can help buyers transform the nook into a stylish space or recommend ways to sneak in additional storage space for your kitchen. 

New homes offer modern floor plans and specialty spaces that meet your family needs. For more information about new homes available in the Wenatchee & Moses Lake communities, contact the Central Washington Home Builders Association, or visit www.CWHBA.org
