Building your custom dream home in Florida can have a long list of advantages – one of which is being able to enjoy outdoor living all year long. If you’re considering going the route of a custom built home in the Orlando area, there are some items that could truly enhance your enjoyment, as well as the value, of your new abode.
One popular item is an outdoor fire pit. Not only can this addition provide added beauty to your outside space, but it can also offer a focal point for entertaining, or even just a place to relax and enjoy the Central Florida nights.
A wooden deck is another popular focal point that can provide added living space on its own, and can also offer a useful and aesthetically pleasing “bridge” between your indoor and outdoor world. Plus, based on recent data by Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, a wood deck can also provide one of the highest returns of any home improvement project. Depending on your specific tastes, you can typically include built-in seating and other customized features to suit your needs.
When considering the outdoor space on your custom home, you’ll also want to include decorative, yet practical lighting. Going this route will not only enhance and accent your landscaping, but it can serve as an added safety and security feature, in turn, increasing the value of your home.
Likewise, by ensuring that your home has curb appeal thanks to landscaping that is lush and green – due in large part to an in-ground sprinkler system and carefully placed shrubs – you could add as much as 15 percent to your home’s overall value.
