IS IT TIME FOR LOVED ONES TO LIVE CLOSER TO YOU?

Seriously. Did you know that 31% of people are now consider MULTI-GENERATIONAL HOMES?

Wait. WHAT IS multi-generational living? is defined as a household that includes two or more adult generations living under the same roof.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Common Multigenerational Living Setups:

Three or more generations: Grandparents, parents, and children.

Two adult generations: Adult children living with their parents.

Aging parents moving in with adult children.

Skip-generation households: Grandparents living with grandchildren (without the middle generation present).

🏡 What’s Driving the Shift?

Affordability & cost savings — Nearly two-thirds of those living multigenerationally cited economics as a major factor 

Caregiving needs — Taking care of aging parents is a top motivator 

Pandemic influence — Over half who moved in together did so because of COVID-19 

Cultural/preference shift — More diverse populations in the US are more open to extended family living 

But here's the deal: while there are more things driving people to consider this, there are very few homes that can actually serve this purpose.

Well, today, we're making one available!

Before we dive into the details, let's take a 400 ft step back to access this property (literally).

All over the country, INCLUDING our beloved Upstate, the ability to "not be on top of your neighbor" is become less and less of an OPTION - and finding that opportunity outside of a rural setting (that is far away from major medical, shopping, dining, etc) is even MORE of a problem. 

This home is located in the prestigious Rivendell community, which is one of he few communities left to offer luxury homes (at a price that seems unbelievable as compared to other parts of the country), larger homesites and close proximity to all preferred conveniences.

Originally, this home was built to offer a main level primary bedroom - so large, in fact, that there was room enough for a sitting area in addition to the a california king sized bed and accommpanying furniture. There were dual walk-in closets and a luxe en-suite with oversized soaking tub, fully-tiled walk-in shower, dual vanities and private water closet. The owners decided to make a space for their father to move into their home. The large bedroom accommodated his bed, desk, dining table and living Room! One of the walk-in closets was even converted to an efficiency kitchenette.

Next, they began a major expansion to add a second level primary suite, complete with a den area, built-in bookshelves, office nook, dual walk-in closets, private laundry hook-up's and the dreamiest, spa-inspired en-suite.

Many times, people turn to *trying to find* to homes in the same neighborhood or a large piece of land ::insert panic here:: to build multiple homes. The problem with this is AVAILABILTY, COST and multi-home property sites can have complications when a person goes to resale. The solution? Having everything under one roof...WITHOUT having to cram your loved on into a basement (and then try to figure out how to help them navigate stairs).

EVEN IF you don't need a home for aging loved ones now, wouldn't it be nice to have this option in the future?
