Why You Should Consider a First Floor Master Bedroom

If you currently live in a two-story home with upstairs bedrooms, you may want to consider adding a first-floor master suite. A first-floor master can be extremely beneficial in the long run - especially if you are living in your forever home. Here are a few reasons to consider one.

1. It’s easy to access. If you plan on staying in your home for the long run, a master suite is a great idea. As we age, mobility can become an issue. A first-floor master doesn’t require the use of stairs so it makes getting around much easier.

2. It makes a great guest suite. If you have guests visiting, a first-floor master suite will give them their own separate space away from the rest of the family. This allows you both to have privacy in an otherwise busy home.

3. Allows your home to grow with you. If you love your home and location, a downstairs master allows you to grow with your house. An addition can increase the functionality of your home while freeing up an upstairs bedroom for additional family members, storage, or a hobby room.

4. Increase your resale value. Even if you don’t plan on staying in your home long-term, a downstairs master suite could help increase your resale value. This is a highly desirable home feature, especially for the baby boomer generation.
