Living with less and still living LARGE!
Whether you're an empty nester or part of an active family, I'm sure you may think at times "do I really need all this space?" Everything we read about is living greener and more efficiently. But most of us don't want to give up nice things we come to enjoy- tons of space, flat screen tv's, gourmet kitchens, the pool and lawn...not to mention the boxes of items we've accumulated through the years from our children or items from grandma's attic.
If you can fathom doing without all that "stuff" you can downsize and I bet you won't miss any of it. You can still live large in a smaller place.
Take for example, someone downsizing from a 3500-6000 sf home. A good option might be new home community Charndon Village, an enclave of 33 English inspired, single family carriage homes located between SouthPark and Matthews. Homes begin in the $420's and have anywhere from 2200-3200 square feet.
The open, yet efficient floor plans offer great space for living and entertaining. How many times in the past year have you actually used your formal living and dining rooms? I think the one thing I would never want to give up is a fabulous kitchen with custon cabinets and appliances. You certainly don't have to give it up at Charndon Village. You can also have a great media room or study-install a mini bar or surround sound. There's still room for 3 or 4 bedrooms with luxury bathrooms and walk in closets. And you do get outdoor space- customize your patio into a little oasis. The beautifully landscaped yard and grounds will be taken care of by the HOA- not you.
How about those "greener" items... less space means less to heat and cool. Tankless water heaters reduce your energy costs and save the space a water heater would take up in your garage. Today's new construction is more efficient than ever.
And as for all the "stuff', now's a great time to donate it to charity for a tax write off or start a 2nd business on E-Bay. I bet some of Grandma's china might be worth more than you think.
Call me and let's discuss the right downsizing option for you!
