Folks of all ages seek out ICI Homes to transform their dreams into a stunning reality. But did you know your custom luxury home doesn’t have to be only for you?
Today’s multigenerational living trend can be a great way to share your new custom luxury home with you AND yours — especially if you’d like to help family members from other generations.
Custom luxury homes are “some day” homes for many of us — when we retire, when we move, or when we’re ready to make our residential dream a reality. Yet they can be a simultaneous housing solution for younger and older family members, aside from functioning as party central for celebrations, holidays and vacations.
Intrigued? Here’s a look at how multigenerational living can be incorporated into your new custom luxury home.
Key takeaways
- Multigenerational living is on the rise, with 17% of homebuyers in 2024 choosing homes that accommodate multiple generations under one roof.
- Top reasons include cost savings, caring for aging parents, and adult children either returning home or not yet launched.
- ICI Homes specializes in building fully customized luxury homes designed to meet the needs of multigenerational households.
- Smart features like in-law suites, private garage apartments, ADUs, barrier-free bathrooms, and larger garages support privacy and independence.
- With customization, your luxury home can be a dream come true for everyone in the family—across generations.
Popular for many reasons
The National Association of REALTORS®’ 2024 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers illustrates this trend, revealing that 17 percent of all home buyers surveyed bought a multigenerational home. That’s the highest percentage since the organization began tracking this home-buying category in 2012 (the NAR has compiled the much larger annual report since 1981).
Researchers compiled all data from a survey of buyers and sellers who completed a transaction between July 2023 and June 2024.
Here are the top four reasons cited by multigenerational home buyers in the NAR report:
- Cost savings (36 percent)
- Caring for aging parents (25 percent)
- Children over the age of 18 returning home (21 percent)
- Children over the age of 18 who haven’t launched (20 percent).
Definitely a spot-on trend in today’s residential real estate market.
Customization paves the way
Our ICI Homes division does nothing except help customers design and build dream abodes. This ranges from brainstorming new ideas, to helping customers build on their own lot or finding one for them, to tricking out these one-of-a-kind structures to meet customers’ specifications.
When you collaborate with ICI Homes, you get what you want. ICI Homes is known as Florida’s Custom Home Builder and we love helping customers customize their way.
This is a particular win-win if you’re seeking guidance for a multigenerational dream home.
Consider these features
Since customization provides a direct path to the custom luxury home that works for your household, ICI Homes pros can help you re-imagine multigenerational living without worrying about space and floor-plan constraints restricting privacy and ease-of-use.
Some possibilities:
- In-law suites on the opposite side of a floor plan. Use adjoining bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Then create a living area with a mini-bar kitchen in one bedroom.
- Private entrances to above-the-garage suites for adult children. Enough said!
- Wet rooms with barrier-free showers and handrails discreetly incorporated into tiled designs.
- Three-and-four-vehicle garages make room for everyone.
- Separate accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on your own lot.
- Need wider doors and unobstructed living space for wheelchairs? Totally doable with ICI Homes.
