They don't want to give up the luxuries they desire, but discover that a sprawling home on one storey may mean giving up yard space or the beautiful view from their new property. The solution is often to build up instead of out. There are numerous advantages to building a two storey home that many potential homeowners aren't aware of.

More Living Space In A Smaller Square Footage

By constructing a house that is two storey, they can get twice the workable floor space without infringing as much on the outdoor living space they love. This means they can either purchase a smaller square footage and still get an expansive living area, or they can purchase a generous plot of land and have a spacious yard for anything from a swimming pool to a gazebo.

Keeping Private And Family Areas Separated

A two storey home lets families keep their private quarters separate from the rest of their house. Second floor bedrooms and bathrooms allow each member of the family to have a haven of privacy that visitors to their home won't infringe on. If there are young children, they can have the peace and quiet they need when going to bed at an earlier hour without the adults on the first floor having to tiptoe around, keep their conversation at a minimum or keep the volume turned down on their stereo. When entertaining family and friends, it lets everyone relax without worrying about disturbing a sleeping child. This additional level of privacy is also an advantage for anyone who prefers not to let others use their bathroom or wander into their bedroom.

Take Advantage Of Nature's Heating And Cooling

Keeping cool is easier when you're sleeping at night in a two storey home because you can capture and take advantage of breezes. Throwing open the windows and letting nature cool your house means less money spent on air conditioning and more fresh air. Homeowners discover that they sleep better and get more rest when they sleep with the windows open. A two storey house also has more outside walls than a single level dwelling that may not allow good air circulation because the main living spaces don't have any windows or have limited windows. Conversely, having two floors stacked on top of each other provides additional insulation for the ground floor in winter. You'll use less energy to heat the living room, dining room and kitchen because the top floor acts as insulation and since heat rises, your bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs will stay toasty on even the coldest days.
