Granny flats are rising in popularity among homeowners in the country, and it isn’t just because of the space they provide for elderly members of your family. You can get a lot of uses from this small addition to your home.
Marrokal Design & Remodeling, the leading home remodeling contractor, shares the top three benefits you can get from granny flats:
Source of Additional Income
Granny flats are usually built to accommodate loved ones like aging parents, but that doesn’t mean that that’s all for which they can be used. If the occupant has moved out, you can turn the space into a rental property for extra income. A granny flat’s layout is easily customizable so your tenants can remodel the room to meet their needs. Granny flats can be built using various materials or divided into different rooms depending on your preferences.
Recreational Space
A granny flat can also be transformed into your ideal hobby room if you enjoy painting, woodwork or other activities that require their own room. No need to work in a garage or create a mess indoors with your materials. Leveraging a custom-designed workspace means you’ll have access to everything you need and be able to do work whenever you want.
Home Office
Some circumstances make it more appealing for homeowners to work from home. Others prefer to do so because of savings on food and travel expenses. Regardless of your reason, working from home requires setting up your workspace, which can cause domestic distractions if your home is too crowded. Your granny flat can double as a convenient office space so you have a separate space where you can work in peace.
