Master Suite On the 1st Or 2nd Floor?

Should I Design My Home With The Master Suite On the 1st Or 2nd Floor?

Sounds like a pretty straight forward question, master suite up or downstairs? Your decision may not be important in the short run but when you are ready to sell your home, it's going to make a big difference. 

If you ask a Central Florida Realtor they will say, position the master suite on the first floor unless there is a compelling reason to put it on the second floor. By compelling reason, they mean, a spectacular view like a lake or something like that. Why, because most buyers in the Orlando area prefer the master suite on the first floor. It's more conveniently positioned if you have a pool and easily accessible during the day from the kitchen and family areas.

Orlando Custom Home Builders recommend master suites positioned on the first floor if you are designing a new home or if you decide Orlando Home Remodeling is right for you.

But, I want my bedroom upstairs where the kids are!

Do I have to design my home with the master suite on the 2nd floor? No, but it's going to cost you when it's time to sell and your home will be on the market longer. Don't believe me, ask a Realtor when it's time to design you new Central Florida Custom Home. They have their finger on the pulse of buyers in this market. They experience what buyers like and what they don't, every day. It's wise to consult an experienced Realtor. If you don't know one, I have agent that I work with that can provide the proper guidance.

Have an awesome day,

Shallow Well Irrigation for your New Custom Home

Shallow Well Irrigation for your New Custom Home

 

Every year, prior to the spring rains, I hear from neighbors how much they are spending ($300 /mo) to water their lawn.  My bills are always $25.00 per month or less and we have one of the greenest lawns in the community.  How is this possible?  We water with a shallow well. 

For an investment of under $2,000 you can water basically for free except, for the cost of electricity. With a shallow well, there is normally, no calcium or iron staining as there is with a deep well and the initial cost is low.  I install shallow wells for my Orlando, custom home building, clients.   

 

Here’s how it’s done.  The well guy comes out and jets in a well point 30’ deep or less.  I have him install 2 – 3 well points depending upon the water volume needed.  I back that all up with a cartridge pool filter, just to make sure any loose sand particles don’t fowl up sprinkler valves and heads.  He hooks up the pump and you are done.  I even use the water to fill my pool.  You may find someone cheaper and cut a few corners on my system, but this is a no brainier.  Spend $2,000 and save thousands.  You will return your initial investment in 2 years. I wish all home building decisions were this difficult.
