Start Spring off on the right foot by adding outdoor structures to the construction of your JT Maloney Signature Home. Improve the landscape with a shed, greenhouse, playhouse or a spacious in-law suite. Adding to your backyard can bolster the versatility of outdoor space, boost square footage and increase the resale value of your JT Maloney Signature Home.
Outdoor Shed
There are plenty of ways to incorporate an outdoor shed into the landscape of your TJ Maloney Signature Home. They are the perfect and most popular storage solution for lawn and gardening tools, power equipment and garage overflow. Other popular alternatives include converting the shed into a craft, recreation or a relaxing hideaway space.
A Gardener’s Greenhouse
For those with a green thumb, a greenhouse is the perfect addition. The indoor environment allows comfortable gardening year-round and keeps crops in season far past their usual time-frame. The conditions can even be manipulated to grow plants not suited for your natural climate. Hunker explains how to set up a greenhouse for the perfect gardening conditions.
The In-Law Suite
Older family members are often in need of help as they age. The U.S. Census Bureau says by 2060, Americans over 65-years-old will make up one fourth of the population. An in-law suite is a great way to accommodate aging family members. This secondary dwelling often resembles an apartment, with everything needed to live an independent life. The kids will also be thrilled to have their grandparents right in the backyard.
Kid’s Playhouse
Last, but not least, external structures make exquisite outdoor playhouses for children. Providing a playhouse a bit separated keeps kids away from technology and out and active more often. It’s important for kids to have playtime away from their parents. According to an article by the Wall Street Journal, Boston College research professor, Peter Gray, says, “Playing away from adults is so important because that’s how children really learn to become adults.”
