Home buyers looking for a design with space for an in-law or older child (or even a friend) will appreciate these stylish designs. Each one features a suite or living space on the main level.

Spacious Second Suite

This elegant one-story home features a very large in-law suite on the left side of the plan. Nearby, another bedroom could easily become a hobby room or office. In the middle of the home, everyone can gather at the spacious eating counter or head out to the porch.

Tons of Storage

Plenty of Privacy for Everyone

This unique layout presents a good option for those who want to buy a home jointly with a friend or relative. The larger unit accommodates a couple, with a spacious suite that showcases a five-piece bath. The open living area flows into the kitchen and out to a deck. On the opposite site of the home, a live-in relative, older child, or friend will enjoy the privacy of their own unit.
