Large Single Story Homes in Brentwood – An Alternative

Large Single Story Homes in Brentwood – An Alternative

Large Single Story Homes can be very expensive. There are a number of reasons for this. 1) They have a larger footprint (foundation) that cost money. 2) The larger footprint means you need a bigger lot. 3) They are harder to find.

Many people shopping for Single Story Homes are at a point in life where they are down sizing and do not need a Large Single Story Home so not as many are built.

However, I have had clients with a need for a very Large Single Story Home. I once had a couple where one of them was wheel chair bound. They had extended family living with them (adult children and a parent) and they both worked out of the home.

We spent months shopping for that Large Single Story Home. We found a few, but for one reason or another they did not work or they were too expensive.

Finally we had an idea. We found a two story home that met all the needs; except being single story. They bought the home and installed an elevator. We are talking full fledged elevator and it cost about $75,000.00. This was more economical than the Large Single Story Home. I also understand there are other elevator options that are cheaper.
