It’s graduation season, which means that young adults are heading home in droves. These up-to-date designs facilitate familial harmony by providing private spaces for them with a bit (or a lot) more elbow room than childhood bedrooms typically give.
The versatile suite near the front of this one-story home sits apart from the other bedrooms, offering privacy for a young adult, elderly relative, or special guest. Nearby, the pocket office can become a job-hunting haven. The kitchen’s thoughtful layout creates stations for working at the double sink or on the island with a prep sink. Nearby, the walk-in pantry holds a Costco-sized load of groceries and is easy to reach on the way in from the three-car garage. Don’t miss the master suite’s well-designed closet, which opens directly into the laundry area. A huge shower is a modern touch in the master bathroom.

Designed around a courtyard with a pool and waterfall, this striking modern home emphasizes indoor/outdoor connections. The L-shaped layout features large windows and sliding doors that look out to the pool area and outdoor kitchen. In the indoor kitchen, the cooktop island provides seating for six. Upstairs, the luxurious master suite boasts a sundeck, a spacious private bathroom, and a large walk-in closet that opens directly to the laundry room. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath and use of the sitting area. Above the detached garage, a fourth bedroom makes a great guest suite or private office.

Impressive One-Bedroom Apartment Included
Perfect for a multi-generational family, this unique layout provides an attached (but very private) one-bedroom apartment. Here, a recent college grad, young couple, or elderly relative will enjoy their private living space, bedroom, office, and even a porch. The main part of the home provides a more-spacious open layout with an island kitchen and great room on the main floor. Upstairs, a master suite and two secondary bedrooms easily access the laundry room and bonus space. See more images, information, and the floor plans.
Walkout Basement Adds Living Space
With outstanding outdoor living and many opportunities to expand in the future, this home presents a family-friendly floor plan. Several rooms open out to patios or porches on the main level, including the spacious master suite. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Jack and Jill bath, while bedroom 4 offers a private suite for an older child or visitors. The open kitchen invites people to hang out at the island or at the table in the nearby dining area. Downstairs, a world of entertaining awaits completion now or at a later date, with two more bedrooms, a kitchenette, and even a theater possible. Another bonus suite can add even more space upstairs.
