KREALTY REAL ESTATE REPORT REPURPOSING Repurposing existing space to accommodate changing housing needs is a growing trend. Some homeowners sacrifice an extra bedroom to make a large master bedroom/bath with a walk-in closet. Some change an extra bedroom into a hobby room or office. Todays buyers want an open feel with less compartmentalization often found in older homes. Most homes can be changed with a saw and beam. People like main-floor laundry rooms. Check out the closets for space. Some have pass throughs to the bathroom linen closet or adjoin the walk-in closet. No more carrying towels and clothes baskets. Garages are being sacrificed to make an extra bedroom or "man cave". A contractor told me concrete always creates dust on its own. Finish it with epoxy.
