Bernie and Lois are an adorable couple who are ready to embark on a new life.

They are now one step closer to living their dream retirement in Hudson, WI! A ‘rightsized’ new construction twin home!

 

We were excited to assist them in their negotiations with their builder, Creative Homes. Bernie and Lois chose a new construction, one level twin home design that offered a basement (which they chose to finish right away.) Their new home offers a main floor master suite, gorgeous kitchen, and main floor laundry. They will enjoy a patio and the feel of a yard, but without the maintenance and upkeep. The homeowners association takes care of all exterior maintenance, including winter shoveling and plowing. Their daughter is purchasing the adjoining unit, so they will be close to each other, yet have their own space. 

Downsizing in Hudson, WI

Downsizing your home can mean different things. In fact, we prefer to use the term ‘Rightsizing’.

Rightsizing means moving to a home that fits the lifestyle you desire now, and as you age. The right home doesn’t have to be smaller than your current home.

A ‘Rightsized’ home is:

• The right location, near family, friends, and activities. Sometimes the right location is a new state, perhaps a warmer climate. For some people, it means lake shore, golf course homes, or urban condos. 
• The right layout with functional spaces for living, entertaining, and hobbies. Baby boomers and seniors in Hudson, WI want homes with a all the main living areas on one level with a main floor master suite, main floor laundry, and no stairs. Many folks choose to have a finished lower level with a family room, guest bedrooms, and storage and hobby space. 
• The right maintenance requirements so you can spend more time enjoying your retirement. If you prefer working on your golf putt rather than puttering around your yard, then perhaps a town home like this one is the right home for you. Or maybe you’ve been dreaming of a hobby farm with acreage because puttering is your idea of bliss. Everyone’s retirement dream is different. 
• The right price point, allowing you to appreciate your retirement without worrying about your mortgage payment.
