As an award-winning master builder, we at Rainbow Construction have seen growing popularity in single-story homes in southern Maryland. While many homebuyers expect to have at least two stories, the benefits of single-story homes may outweigh the desire for another floor. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of single-story living, then check out a few great models we host at the Carrico community.
Open Space
If you think that single-story homes automatically have less space than other homes, think again! In fact, single-story homes often have more open living space than a two-story home, as rooms can floor into one another without stairs or barriers getting in the way. Ceilings are also much higher to make the space feel even larger, while skylights and big windows can let sunlight into the entire home. With the wide open space and natural light, a single-story home can feel just as big, if not bigger, than a two-story home!
No Stairs, No Problem
A significant selling point of single-story homes is the lack of stairs, which can be very beneficial for those who plan to stay in their home as they age. Getting older comes with limited mobility from arthritis or hip pain, and climbing up stairs is not an easy task.
While single-story homes are great for those who are thinking of their future, they are also perfect for younger homeowners as well. With all rooms on one floor, you can have easy access to your new baby’s room, and be close to them whether you’re in the kitchen or your own bedroom. Stairs can also be dangerous for young kids, and hauling laundry up and down stairs is not fun no matter what your age is. A single-story home allows homeowners to live comfortably throughout every chapter of their life, while ensuring there is plenty of room for a family.
