Stress less about space when you buy a new-construction home that includes K. Hovnanian’s signature feature: the Extra Suite or Extra Suite+, an apartment-style living space within your home. Available on select floorplans, this convenient and versatile option is a game-changer if you’re considering multigenerational living, long-term guests, or changing needs down the road. With these innovative suite designs, it’s easier than ever to live in a beautiful, functional home that fits your unique lifestyle.
What Is the Extra Suite and Extra Suite+?
The Extra Suite and Extra Suite+ are separate living quarters built into your home and designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, combining the independence of an apartment with the closeness of a bedroom. These multigen homes allow relatives and long-term guests to enjoy privacy without feeling disconnected from the rest of the family.
What Is the Extra Suite?
The Extra Suite features a private suite with its own bedroom and luxury bathroom. This unique feature isn’t just about extra space in your home – it also provides extra privacy, while remaining connected to the home as a whole. It’s essentially a house with an in-law suite integrated into the main structure.
What Is the Extra Suite+?
The Extra Suite+ offers the same bedroom and bath as the Extra Suite, plus a private living area with optional wet bar/kitchenette. A private entry is available on select plans, offering even more independence to household members.
Why Choose Homes with Extra Suite or Extra Suite+?
As life changes and your preferences and needs evolve, having enough space in a home is important – but it’s just as important to have the right kind of functional layouts. With its enhanced sense of independence and self-sufficiency, the Extra Suite+ is ideal for multigenerational living, long-term caregivers, and inhabitants who are able to be fully self-reliant.
The Extra Suite – still covering the basics of bed and bath, but relying on the kitchen and living area in the home as a whole – is perfect for guests, college kids coming home on school breaks, or anyone who needs or wants a bit more caregiving and connection to the rest of the household. Both the Extra Suite and Extra Suite+ have endless potential as multi-use spaces as well (see more on that below).
Whatever you’re looking for in a home, families of all shapes and sizes can enjoy independence and togetherness with these flexible spaces, which give you room to make your home as unique as you are.
Benefits of the Extra Suite and Extra Suite+
1. Quality Family Time
The Extra Suite and Extra Suite+ create separate living quarters in your home for relatives and friends to visit or live in, bringing your loved ones closer together. Your children will get to spend quality time with their grandparents, look up to positive role models, and make memories that they’ll cherish forever. Create an ideal environment where you and your loved ones can comfortably and conveniently live and thrive together in these multigen homes.
2. Privacy
With the functional layouts of the Extra Suite and Extra Suite+, your family will get to enjoy the benefits of multigenerational living without sacrificing personal space. Having family under the same roof is convenient, but without the right layout, it can be stressful. Our floorplans are designed so your family can enjoy quality time together while also maintaining privacy because everyone has their own little oasis.
3. Convenient Caregiving
In a multigenerational living arrangement, younger adults or live-in caregivers can easily look after aging parents or family members who need that extra support. This alternative to assisted living could be a great fit for your family, keeping your loved ones close and providing both connection and peace of mind.
4. Childcare
Rest easy knowing you have enough space for live-in childcare, which will give your family extra flexibility and convenience. Whether your parents are watching your children while you’re at work or you have an au pair or live-in nanny, these multigen floorplans provide a great option to meet your family’s needs.
5. Affordability
Multigenerational living can be more affordable than maintaining two separate households since family members can share expenses and responsibilities – whether that means splitting bills, cooking meals, babysitting, cleaning, or doing yardwork. This also might be a good option for adult children who are moving home after college to save money, or a relative who is getting back on their feet in a time of transition.
6. Extra Income*
Depending on regulations and bylaws in your area, you could also have the option of bringing in some extra income by renting out your Extra Suite or Extra Suite+ as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). This could help make homeownership more affordable, particularly if you have an Extra Suite+ — which functions like a full-fledged apartment — but you may still be able to rent out an Extra Suite as a spare room.
If you’re in the process of securing a mortgage for a property with ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) potential, that potential could also boost your buying power. However, it’s crucial to review your local zoning laws and regulations to understand your options.
7. Home Value
Functional floorplans like the Extra Suite and Extra Suite+ are high in demand, with more families choosing multigenerational living, adult kids moving back home, and the rise of ADUs. The added space, luxury, and privacy could add to your home’s value and increase your equity, making it very attractive to buyers if you consider selling down the road.
8. Flexible Space
At the end of the day, the Extra Suite and Extra Suite+ can be whatever you want them to be. Have you always wanted a private art studio or library? How about a home gym instead of a treadmill in the garage, a playroom for your pets, or an extra-private home office? These spaces can easily be transformed into workspaces or learning spaces as needed.
Can’t decide? No problem. This versatile space can have more than one use, offering endless flexibility; it’s the ultimate example of finding a home that fits your lifestyle, not the other way around. Discover a sanctuary where you’ll love living together — with the space, privacy, and adaptability you need to thrive and grow.
