In our over thirty years of building custom homes on LBI, we’ve had the pleasure of working with our homeowners to include luxury features and suggest solutions to help make their home suit all of their needs. But we’ve noticed some features aren’t talked about nearly enough, so our team is tackling the one must-have feature every custom home on LBI needs: Junior Suites.
Junior Suites are like the main bedroom and ensuite, but are usually located on one of the lower levels of the home or in the opposite wing from the main suite. Affording privacy to older children, teens, or guests who may visit, Junior Suites are a wonderful addition to any custom home on LBI.
As families grow or guests spend time in your home, it’s only natural that homeowners and their older children or visitors would want a little separation from each other—a place that offers a bit of privacy but keeps family and friends together. Junior Suites are the perfect solution to incorporate into your custom home on LBI! Typically, Junior Suites are designed to provide a larger bedroom, space for a sitting area—either separate from the bedroom or nestled into a quiet corner of the room—and an attached bathroom. Providing everything a guest or older child may need, Junior Suites are the perfect way to balance each member of the household’s need for privacy and a sanctuary of their own while also still remaining a sense of togetherness and being able to enjoy common areas.
Speaking of guests, Junior Suites allow you to host your friends and family in your custom home on LBI for any desired length of time without disruption to your routine. Whether or not your guests are early risers or night owls, you’ll never have to know as they can retreat to their suite without disturbing you in yours. Adding in a coffee bar allows for guests to help themselves to light fare and drinks. Plus, Junior Suites give them a dedicated space when they visit so you don’t have to make special arrangements to make room for their stay. No more multi-purpose rooms that need to serve as both a sitting room and a guest room or a spare room that turns into a catch-all when there are no visitors.
At Stonehenge, we like to work with our homeowners to understand their needs, wants, and expectations when building a custom home on LBI. This includes style preferences, hobby and recreational interests, and ways to help make their custom house feel like a home. Junior Suites might be one of the must-have features to include in your custom home on LBI that people don’t talk about enough, we’re no strangers to them! No matter what stage of the custom home building process you’re in, Stonehenge Building is ready to bring your custom home on LBI to life.
