Benefits of Adding a Guest House
Guest houses are uniquely versatile and can be constructed in various configurations to meet your needs. Some additional benefits of adding a guest house to your home include:
- Earn additional income: You can post your new guest house on sites like Airbnb or find long-term renters to earn rental income.
- Multi-generational living space: Instead of moving into a retirement home, older family members can live on your property while maintaining semi-independence.
- Additional living space: You can use a guest house to entertain your family and friends when guests are not staying there.
- Move-in home staff: If you’re looking for a full-time nanny, nurse, tutor, or housekeeper, offering a place to live on your property that’s still separate from the rest of your home can help draw top candidates to the position.
What To Consider When Building Your Guest House
It can be overwhelming to think through all the logistics involved in building a guest house on your property, but Innovative Design + Build can help you get through the process smoothly.
When planning and designing a guest house, our design-build professionals discuss every detail with homeowners, including HOA requirements, layout (i.e., second-story additions, garage renovation, detached dwelling space, and more), HVAC and plumbing systems, building codes, and beautiful materials and finishes that fit your vision.
Common elements found in guest houses to consider adding to yours are:
- A ductless heating or cooling unit
- Bathroom
- Kitchen
- Bedroom suite
- Living room
- Outdoor living areas, like a small patio or fire pit
