Re: Design Criteria
Dear Mr. Grossberg:
In regard to your proposed single-family residence to be
constructed at the north end of Atlantic Beach I have the following
recommendations.
Design your home to be compatible with other homes in the
immediate area. Obviously, compatibility is a broad statement,
however, common sense is the key. For example, design your home to
have similar architectural qualities, such as square footage, roof
pitch, ceiling height, and amenities .
Furthermore, avoid constructing the nicest house on the block.
If most homes in the immediate neighborhood are between 2,000 and
3,000 square feet, do not build a 1,500 square foot home or a 4,000
square foot home. To maximize your potential return upon resale,
design your home so that it's value falls in line with the range of
existing values in the neighborhood.
Pay attention to marketability. That is, design your home
with the typical buyer in mind. If you build a home to suit your
particular needs and desires without regard to what the typical
buyer's needs and desires are, you may negatively impact
marketability. For example, if you installed mexican tile floors
in every room, chances are that the typical buyer will not share
the same taste and would resist buying your home. Or, if you built
8-foot ceilings throughout the house and most homes in the same
market had 9 to 10-foot ceilings, you may experience difficulty
marketing the house.
I hope these thoughts are helpful. If I can assist in any
way, please call.
Yours truly,
Duncan R. Ennis, MAI
