Purchasing a new home is an exciting journey, and discovering the perfect floor plan is the key to creating a space that genuinely works for your life. At Kiper Homes, we offer a wide range of home designs to meet a variety of needs. To ensure your in-person visit with our team is beneficial to your home journey, it’s important to know precisely what you are seeking in your new home before stepping into one of our model homes.
This guide will walk you through the essential questions to ask yourself so you can refine your options and locate the ideal Kiper Homes plan for your next chapter:
Define Your Lifestyle Needs
A home design is both a layout and a blueprint for your future. Start by thinking about how you currently live and how you expect that to change in the next five to 10 years:
- Consider who will occupy the home. If you have family or friends who will live with you long-term, consider a multi-generational arrangement. These designs often include separate suites or private living areas perfect for adult children or aging parents, offering both privacy and closeness.
- Evaluate your work-from-home situation. Do you need a dedicated quiet office area? Look for house designs that feature a den, flex room or a tucked-away additional bedroom that can serve as a professional workspace.
- Think about how you entertain. If you love hosting, an open-concept great room and a large kitchen island will likely be high on your list. If you prefer formal gatherings, you may want a design that incorporates a distinct dining room.
Finding the Right Floor Plan
Selecting the floor plan that best fits your needs is the most important step in your new home search, and at Kiper Homes, we believe the layout of your new Lathrop home should adapt to your unique lifestyle. Consider how flexible spaces can enhance your daily harmony:
Many of our floor plan designs spotlight additional living areas, including versatile lofts, which provide a dedicated space for children to play while allowing for quiet and relaxation on the home’s lower level.
Beyond traditional bedrooms, our plans offer flexible spaces that can easily transform into a private home office, a fitness studio or a seating area for entertaining guests. To further elevate your living experience, several of our plans include upper-level decks that serve as a peaceful retreat for morning coffee or quiet reflection.
Also, think about guest accommodations. Do you frequently host overnight visitors? Look for layouts that include a first-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bathroom to offer maximum comfort and privacy for guests. This dedicated space ensures visitors feel welcomed and have their own retreat.
Prioritize Location & Views
While the floor plan defines the interior, the home site and position determine your overall experience. Understanding the relationship between the two will help you find the perfect match.
If you are drawn to our communities near scenic waterfront areas like Capri at River Islands, ensure your chosen floor plan maximizes those stunning views from the main living areas and the primary bedroom. Imagine waking up to a beautiful sunrise over the lake every day.
Additionally, consider the importance of outdoor living. The dimensions and orientation of the patio or deck matter greatly. A large backyard or a California Room can become a comfortable extension of your indoor space for dining or relaxing.
