Buying a new house is a dream come true for many people. The idea of having a custom home that is made exactly to their specifications can be incredibly exciting. When people buy a house in this way, they are typically given many kinds of options. Deciding on the kind of upgrades that are ideal can help any buyer get the home they really want. Many upgrades can also add enormous value to the ultimate value of the home. This makes it easy, should you decide, to sell the home later on.

Stairs are Important

If the buyer is purchasing a new house, stairs are one of the first things that a buyer will see the second they step inside. Many kinds of stair upgrades are available during any remodel. The buyer can decide on stairs made from high end wood. They can also buy elegant, custom designed balustrades that add a truly upscale look to the entire home. The buyer may also decide to opt for an additional back staircase in order to make it easier to connect the two floors. A staircase can also be used to connect the attic to the rest of the house.

Thoughtful Lighting

Another element in any house that can be custom made are lighting of all kinds such as recessed lighting and track lighting. The buyer can pick out lighting in their custom home that makes the entire space look great. This may consist of showing off an incredible view at night or bringing in subtle lights that help make the kitchen more functional. Lovely lighting can also make the entire space feel more welcoming even in the dead of the Toronto winter.

Updated Baths

Most people love updated baths. A long soak can help ease muscle strain and provide real relaxation. A bath with updated hardware and multiple shower heads can really help offer a luxurious experience. During the home building process is when it’s easiest to create a bath that any buyer will love. Work with the builder to help design a bath that offers a soaking tub and a separate shower. Installing such items is much harder later so it pays to do it when building the home.

 

Radiant Heated Flooring

Another must-have upgrade are radiant heated flooring. As we at Alair Homes Rosedale Toronto know, the winters in this climate can be quite fierce. One of the best ways to combat the cold is with floors that are toasty warm the second people step on them. Putting in such flooring can be very difficult later. This is why it makes sense to put them in during the home construction process and avoid the need to remodel later.

Connecting to the Garage

A garage is an entirely useful place in any home. All too late, some people fail to realize the importance of connecting the garage with the rest of the house. A homeowner can help remedy this problem when the house is being built. Having a door constructed between the garage and the rest of the house makes the garage far more functional. Any buyer can now easily bring in groceries or other items between the house and the garage as needed.
