Having an accessory building on your property has the potential to add substantial value. Oftentimes, however, that potential is never fully realized, as theyre frequently left unfinished and used as storage spaces. If your accessory building is approved to be used as a living space or dwelling, here are several ideas for transforming it into a valuable feature.
Exercise and Wellness Space
Imagine having a separate area where you can escape to for a quick workout followed by a few minutes of pampering yourself. Well, you can certainly make that a reality. After all, a small yoga studio or exercise area and a few spa-like features, such as a steam shower and a massage room, dont require all that much space. Plus, with a growing demand for home gyms and wellness areas, this is an investment thats sure to appeal to luxury homebuyers in the future.
Kids Space
As the children get bigger, its only natural that the house will start to feel smaller. When that day comes, you can put your accessory building to use by creating a fun hangout area for the kids. From arts and crafts stations to a game room with ping pong and air hockey, there are endless possibilities to transform this into a place theyll love for years to come.
Home Office
A fully-equipped work space is one of the most important features these days. For some people, however, all of the distractions found at home can make it difficult to be productive. If youre the type who needs a change of scenery before sitting down to work, then converting your accessory building into a stunning office is sure to be a good use of this space, while also adding value to your home.
Guest Accommodations
Self-contained guest accommodations are one of the greatest luxuries that a home can have when friends or family are visiting, especially for extended stays. Everyone can feel much more comfortable in their own space without imposing and all it takes is a thoughtfully designed bedroom with a few essential living features.
