Spotlight On: Family Friendly Home Features
Are you looking for a home that perfectly suits your family's needs? Ernest Homes offers a variety of floor plans designed with families in mind. From open-concept living spaces to flexible rooms that adapt as your family grows, Ernest Homes’ designs emphasize both functionality and comfort.
Here’s a look at some of our plans and the family-friendly features that make them stand out.
Family-Friendly Features for All Ages and Stages
Ernest Homes understands that families come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you have young children, teenagers, or are planning for the future, there's a perfect plan for you.
Primary Living Spaces
Our commitment to creating inviting living spaces is evident in plans like The Edisto. These floor plans feature open-concept designs that connect the kitchen, dining, and living areas. This layout promotes interaction, allowing parents to keep an eye on children while preparing meals or spending time together as a family. The seamless flow between spaces also makes these homes ideal for family gatherings and entertaining guests, ensuring that no one feels isolated in separate rooms.
Our plans also feature mudrooms or foyers, which provide a designated space for families to drop off coats, shoes, and backpacks. This helps to keep the rest of the house clean and organized.
Ample Bedrooms
Having enough bedrooms is essential for growing families, and we offer plenty of options. Many of our homes, like The Greybeard and The Madison, come with three to four bedrooms, offering flexibility to accommodate children of different ages. Larger families or those planning to grow can easily find a floor plan with enough room for everyone.
Kid-Friendly Designs
Another feature of Ernest Homes' plans is the thoughtful design of secondary bedrooms and bathrooms. For instance, The Kingston offers Jack-and-Jill bathrooms between secondary bedrooms, making it easy for siblings to share while maintaining privacy. These setups also help during busy mornings, allowing multiple family members to get ready at the same time without crowding into a single bathroom. Bedrooms are often grouped together to create a dedicated children's wing, keeping the owner’s suite more private.
Flex Spaces
Families often need spaces that can adapt as their children grow. Flex spaces are incorporated into many of our designs, such as The Hilton. These rooms can serve as playrooms for younger children, homework stations for school-aged kids, or media rooms for teenagers. As family needs change, these flex spaces can evolve from play areas into more functional spaces like home gyms or hobby rooms.
So Much Storage
Families always seem to have a lot of stuff! Plans such as The Nantucket offer plenty of storage solutions, such as walk-in closets, pantries, and laundry rooms.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor spaces are essential for families who enjoy spending time together in the fresh air. Many of our plans, such as The Laurel and The Seabrook, include covered porches or patios, providing perfect spots for barbecues, outdoor play, or simply relaxing as a family. These spaces are designed to enhance family life, offering a safe and private area for kids to play and adults to unwind.
Single-Level Plans for Multi-Generational Families
For families with elderly relatives or those looking for age-in-place solutions, single-level living is a key consideration. Ernest Homes offers several single-story floor plans, like The Wassaw and The Liberty, that make mobility easier for everyone in the family. These plans eliminate the need for stairs, providing a safe and convenient living arrangement for older family members or young children.
