Custom Homes and Retirement, Part 1
As retirement approaches, you may be considering a move. Odds are, your kids are grown and off running their own lives. Thus, you have a home that is too big for your needs.

REASONS TO BUILD A CUSTOM HOME FOR RETIREMENT
Smaller & On One Story
When you have kids and dogs running around your home, you definitely need space. As your kids age into the teenage years, you need even more space (more for your sanity than anything else). However, the kids eventually grow, move out, and start their own families. Now you are left with a huge house, maybe a small dog, and you spend a lot of time cleaning. With a custom home build, you can build a home that is the perfect size for your wants and needs.
If you have a large house on more than one floor, many people heading into retirement want to move to a single-story home. Falls in seniors are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries. In fact, one in four Americans over the age of 65 falls every year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Stairs are a fall hazard, and if you can avoid them, it is highly advised. Furthermore, if you have a mobility issue, such as needing to use a walker, a cane, or a wheelchair, investing in a custom home build allows you to have extra wide hallways and a stair lift if needed.
Custom To Your Needs and Wants
Besides being smaller and on one story, with a custom home built by Classic Custom Builders in Northern Colorado, you can have everything you've always wanted in a home. You can have the master bedroom on the opposite side of the house. You can build a sunroom or a veranda to sit and have coffee every morning. You can build lower shelves in the kitchen so you can reach them safely. You can have a custom kitchen island with the sink and the dishwasher in the island. You can design the floorplan to be as open or as closed as you want. You can have a three-car garage so you can tinker on your car projects. You can have a mudroom and a Jack & Jill bathroom for the guest rooms. You can have a window seat, a covered front porch, and an apple tree right in your front yard.
The sky's the limit when it comes to custom home builds, so be sure to include everything you've ever wanted when you get started.
