Benefits of downsizing your home
People downsize for all sorts of reasons: adapting to an empty nest, preparing for retirement, or maybe just to seek out a simpler life. As circumstances...
Summer is coming and that means thoughts drift towards BBQs, backyard cricket and a few drinks with friends as the evening slips into night. From sunny days to lazy nights staring at the stars having friends over is a much-loved part of having a house that is geared towards entertaining.
Good indoor/outdoor flow, a kitchen that can handle preparing nibbles and a deck area that suits a whole bunch of seats (and maybe a fire pit) ticks all the boxes. In this article, we select a few modern prefab Genius Homes designs that deliver the above in spades.
Whereas it would be easy to choose all of our large prefab homes and simply show them off as being excellent for entertaining, we've selected designs from each of our bedroom sizes. Starting with our 2 bedroom homes and going all the way up to our 5 bedroom house design.
The Benmore offers a lot for the entertainer. From a large living, dining and kitchen area to spacious deck area this home offers everything the previous two feature with one slightly hidden benefit.
Whereas the other two designs have a more traditional deck layout this one offers a sun trap with the sheltered deck between the two wings of the living area and bedroom space. This can offer excellent wind protection and a warm area for relaxed drinks.
The Taieri is a modern design with an attractive split mono pitch roof. The master bedroom has an ensuite and walk-through wardrobe. The family bathroom features a full-size bath and separate shower. This design has ample lounge and living area that opens outdoors, a great entertaining home.
The raked ceiling in the open-plan living area adds to the sense of space in this home and the large open-plan design means there's plenty of space for entertaining.
The master bedroom features stacker doors to the outdoors, a generous ensuite and ample space in the walk-in wardrobe. There are two double rooms, with built-in wardrobes and a single bedroom also with a built-in wardrobe. All three share a large family bathroom with bathtub.
The Nova is our largest floor plan. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 3 of which have ensuite bathrooms. From an entertaining perspective, the wrap-around deck offers plenty of space for socialising. When the weather's bad the second living area creates a natural cosy spot for entertaining, while the largest living room is a natural spot for socialising.
