For the Baby Boomer generation, a home isn’t just a smart investment; it’s also where family and friends gather, memories are made, and the joy of retirement can be fully realized. And regardless of the size of your family, your lifestyle and your plans for the future, a custom home is the best way to ensure your next home is exactly what you need.
Often, our Baby Boomer customers are looking for some of the following features:
- Main-floor master suites
- Flexible living areas
- Plenty of space for guests
- Luxurious bathrooms
More than anything, a new home should be “right-sized” for you and your family. For some, that might mean downsizing to keep cleaning and maintenance simple. Or it may involve adding extra common areas for entertaining and family time. The key is to find a floor plan that has the features you want and can easily be customized for your own needs.
Let’s take a look at some of our most popular home plans that work well for Baby Boomers:
The Ashland
This 3,136-square-foot two-story plan has a convenient downstairs master suite, while upstairs is a second master, three additional bedrooms, and a huge bonus room. This makes it ideal for families with adult children and even grandchildren in the home. The Ashland also has plenty of family space and a utility room off the garage—perfect for the family hobbyist! The optional wrap-around porch and covered patio help you make the most of the outdoors. View floor plan and photos.
The Ainsworth
The smaller-scale Ainsworth includes three bedrooms and two baths in a practical 1,232 square feet. Its compact size makes it easy to maintain, while its large great room and ample storage mean it’s still fantastic for entertaining, guests, and comfortable living. View floor plan and photos.
The Cashmere
This cleverly designed one-story plan provides plenty of functionality for a Baby Boomer family in 3,120 square feet. The large great room flows right into the kitchen and dining nook, creating an ideal gathering place for family and guests. The bonus room, spacious garage, walk-in pantry, and dual master closets create plenty of storage space, while the convenient mud room makes this home a gardener’s dream. View floor plan and photos.
