Skinny homes are a trending movement that can be spotted all over our beautiful city. These skinny homes are economical and sometimes profitable spaces for comfy living. Skinny houses have also become the most publicly accepted form of infill housing in certain neighborhoods.
Skinny homes usually have a modern yet minimalistic look and most of them are custom built allowing for your unique tastes to come out! They are built in a way to accommodate all the amenities of a traditionally larger home. Many younger families appreciate the nod to minimalism and simplicity (think Marie Kondo) and flock to the opportunity to downsize. Downsizing is not only economical, it is very much less complex and intimidating than buying a big house.
Many buyers are choosing skinny homes as investment properties and choose to rent out parts of the house. Although these homes are skinny there is a lot more space than what meets the eye.
Will I Have Enough Options in a Skinny Home?
Definitely! It’s also dependent on the space, but working with a custom builder allows you to pick and choose different amenities that are important to you. For instance, in the bathroom, you will need to decide if you want to have a bathtub or if you feel better with just a standing shower. You will typically have a smaller but complete kitchen to let you make an enjoyable meal and a living room cozy enough to lounge around in. In addition to all the rooms, the skinny houses can also have a cute outside patio and lawn area!
With the news that property prices have reached (another) record high, it’s hardly surprising that property buyers are having to stretch their finances further to buy what is, sometimes, quite literally nothing more than a room with enough space to turn around in. Would you buy a skinny property?
