New-home buyers can easily go over budget when selecting optional builder upgrades and features.<\/p>\n
With so many options, homebuyers are easily tempted to say yes to everything \u2013 but what upgrades are actually worthwhile?<\/p>\n
Here are four upgrades you should consider when buying a new home that are functional, stylistic and pocket-friendly.<\/p>\n
Roomier kitchen cabinets<\/strong><\/p>\n A large island and beautiful countertops are two must-haves for a dream kitchen.<\/p>\n Extra-height kitchen cabinets can be added to that list, too.<\/p>\n Upgrading from 36 inches to 42 inches will provide extra shelf storage, that\u2019s invaluable in creating a functional and inviting kitchen.<\/p>\n In addition, the extra inches will bring the cabinets closer to the ceiling for an aesthetically pleasing look.<\/p>\n Over-fridge cabinet<\/strong><\/p>\n Along with added verticality to the kitchen\u2019s cabinet, an over-fridge cabinet is another ideal storage solution for a kitchen that has it all.<\/p>\n The deep cabinet will also give the appearance of a built-in refrigerator, combining style with function.<\/p>\n The added cabinet will also eat up the space above the fridge, where items can pile up and look unorganized.<\/p>\n Microwave cubby <\/strong><\/p>\n New homebuyers may forget a designated spot for the microwave over their excitement about the stove and overhead range.<\/p>\n In the end, the microwave will end up taking up valuable countertop real estate. To avoid that, homeowners should prioritize designing a space-saving spot for the microwave.<\/p>\n Homeowners can maintain the stylish look of a statement range fan while retaining counter space for a microwave that\u2019s within reach.<\/p>\n Carpet padding<\/strong><\/p>\n For areas of the home that feature carpet, homeowners can\u2019t go wrong by upgrading from standard carpeting to underpadding.<\/p>\n For a great price, underpadding creates a much softer underfoot that feels great and lengthens the life of your carpeting. It\u2019s a total win-win.<\/p>\n If you are interested in seeing your options for newly built homes in Placer County, contact us today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New-home buyers can easily go over budget when selecting optional builder upgrades and features.
