In-Law Suites: Room of the Future?

In today's economy, families are searching for any way possible to live more efficiently and "downsize" with comfort.  In the past few months, we have noticed an increased desire from our customers to design "In Law" spaces in their homes to accommodate a future parent either full or part-time.  In general, our customers have sought something more than just a spacious guest room with en suite bath.  They have wanted living space and in some cases a small kitchenette.  At Dostie Homes, we have begun to ask ourselves if this is a trend purely symptomatic of our current market or if people are moving toward this living arrangement.

We are curious to know from you the public if you have considered this approach and would be interested in a builder who was pre-planning for these types of rooms.  What would be important to you or your parent in this space?  How big does it need to be?  Would you want it attached to your home or detached with a breezeway connecting back to the main house?

Please respond to this post!!  Your feedback is critical to Dostie building the very best homes in the market today and in the future.  Thank you for your time and thoughts.

This week we are focusing on technology in the home.  As in every phase of life, technology is becoming a more integral part every day and we learn to adapt.  In most cases, technology makes living more efficient and more comfortable.  New Homes today are more sophisticated than ever and at Dostie Homes we are featuring Control 4 Technology in our home packages.

Control 4 brings the functions of your home right to your fingertips anywhere in the world through your cell phone service or Wi-Fi.  From your smart phone, I Pad, or remote computer you can turn lights on and off, adjust your thermostat, view security cameras, or even lock and unlock doors.  All of the surround sound for your home is a click away and synced right to your I Tunes account.

Right now, we have two homes under construction, Lot 1 Glen Kernan and Lot 132 Pablo Creek Reserve, that will feature some of the Control 4 technology options.  Both homes are equipped with a brand new I Pad to control your system, and our technology concierge, Atlantic Home Technologies, will install and set up your service on your other smart devices as well.
