Sometimes in the search for more living space there’s no place to look but up. When Alan Koch bought this 1933 cottage in Portland, Oregon, he knew he’d be finishing the 600-square-foot attic sooner rather than later. And as a work-at-home educational and marketing consultant, Alan hankered for a light, bright office where he could spread out. By tapping the upstairs, he figured he could carve out just such a space, as well as a comfortable master suite, reserving downstairs bedrooms for guests and TV viewing.
There is nothing like building equity into your home….especially when you can enjoy it. Attics are a great opportunity to capture more living space in an existing home, especially when home expansions aren’t feasible. Attics can make functional offices, play rooms, or even master bedroom retreats depending on the amount of space you have to work with. And even if your attic isn’t large enough for a new room, attics can provide exceptional storage space. Why not spend a few extra bucks to add shelving and flooring? It will help your home stand out amongst other Colorado Springs homes for sale, which is always a good thing.
