“The empty nesters are unloading their family homes looking for top of the line features and a little smaller ranch style home.”

Top requests from current buyers seeking luxury ranch style homes.

Smaller sqft than they have now. They are unloading their family homes looking for high end comfort and convenience.
Main floor master bedroom.
At least 1 or 2 additional bedrooms on the main level.
Scratch the formal living room in favor of a large great room.
Open kitchen with all the appliances one could dream of and make sure the kitchen opens into or is a part of the great room mentioned above.
Nice size formal dining room. Ideally with access to the outdoor living area or with nice views for the pre-dinner cocktail party.
Finished basement with an additional bedroom with on suite bath.
Basement TV room but not necessarily a full blown movie room. More of an entertaining TV room.
Many are asking for exercise rooms but it isn’t a must.
Full on bars and over the top wine rooms are cool but not a necessity. A really nice Sub Zero or Miele wine and beverage storage appliance would be best. It takes up less space and would cost much less than a full on room.
