When designing your dream house during a custom home construction project, you want all of the necessities and amenities to make the living space ideal for you and your family. While you may be focused on how much you’ll enjoy the new home, consider including certain features that will increase its resale value. 

Features That Increase Resale Value

1. Updated Bathroom

Bathrooms complete with modern amenities are always top of the list for a high return on investment. Rooms with gorgeous ceramic tile or stone as well as spacious showers with designer fixtures are attractive to potential buyers. Add built-in linen closets and interesting lighting concepts to your custom home construction for an extra boost.

2. Fashionable Kitchen

Kitchens are also quite appealing to buyers. Stainless steel appliances as well as ample sturdy cabinets in neutral rich tones are attractive to a broad range of people. Laminate or natural stone countertops enhance the design and give kitchens a luxurious, high-end feel. Add an island with matching counters and drawers for extra storage and seating.

3. Outdoor Additions

Decks, patios, and porches extend your home’s living space. Ask your contractor for pressure-treated wood for outdoor structures, and have a landscaper spruce up the exterior with planters and greenery around the perimeter. You can even add lighting to make your deck or porch usable no matter what time of day it is.

4. Finished Basement

Having a basement for entertaining or to use as a game or family room provides another level to the property. Choose laminate flooring that is easy to clean and good with any humidity level. A cozy couch, entertainment center, and even a wet bar will turn your basement into a party room. As an alternative, set up an area for storage with built-in closets and shelving. Make sure the basement is waterproof for extra protection.

5. Details

Décor details go a long way. Elements like crown molding, chair rails, and other architectural components offer elegance and charm to any room. Trims and moldings in living rooms and bedrooms are details that give each space a finished, complete look.
