What Are In-Law Suite Additions?
An in-law suite, also known as a mother-in-law suite addition, is a private living space constructed on a primary property. This structure may be an addition built onto the house or a separate, stand-alone dwelling located elsewhere on the grounds. They typically have separate entrances, en suite bathrooms and other amenities to ensure occupants are comfortable in their living space and have adequate privacy.
The modern family unit sometimes consists of three generations living under the same roof. In other situations, college graduates move back home to reside with their parents upon completing their studies.
Family circumstances like these may mean you need additional living space to ensure everyone has ample room and privacy. When moving to a more spacious residence is not an option for financial or practical reasons, adding an in-law suite to an existing home can be a viable and cost-effective alternative.
The Benefits of In-Law Suite Additions
Reasons to consider building an in-law suite on your property include:
- Practicality: These suites offer a practical and affordable solution for everyone. Young adults or elderly grandparents won’t need to bear the expense of renting or purchasing a home. These arrangements may also promote familial bonding across multiple generations.
- More privacy: All family members can enjoy their own living spaces and maintain independent lifestyles. This freedom relieves the tension that often exists when living in close quarters.
- Increased property value: A home addition or remodeling project typically boosts a home’s resale price. You can get a larger return on investment if you decide to sell, and the property will be more attractive to other multigenerational families.
