When you visit Wood-Tex Products at their home location of
Himrod, NY on beautiful Seneca Lake you will see their newest model construction
project underway; a 24'x36' Two StoryDoublewide Garage that will feature a completely finished apartment on the
second story. Finished living space is not limited to the second story as
portions of the first floor can be finished as well giving extra storage space
a plethora of new possibilities. From a home office, guest house, or extra
living space to a possible rental unit, summer kitchen or vacation cottage this
is one way to maximize your investment in a new structure.
For each use of your finished living space there are many
returns on your investment. Perhaps most easily measured is the possibility of a
financial return through use as a rental property but equally as significant
are the options of having private living quarters for guests or family nearby.
Garage apartments are a particularly efficient and
affordable way to provide for both vehicles and living space. When asked about
the benefits of the new line of garages regional sales manager Matt Lapp
advised, “Finishing the upstairs of a garage is less expensive than buying two
separate structures, like a cabin and garage, with the same sized footprint.”
It’s a good point to consider, why not make your dollars stretch further and
get everything you need and want from one structure?
Like all the structures built at Wood-Tex Products these
garage apartments are highly customizable allowing for optimum flexibility and
satisfaction. The floor plan, roof style, pitch, and accents can all be changed
to allowing it to reflect your own personal style and tastes. Offering bothA-Frame or Gambrel roof styles with flat and A-Frame dormers the stylistic
possibilities are many.
On the practical side of things the apartment is completely
sealed off from the garage so smells, sounds, and even dust from the garage
will not transfer up to the clean living area.
“There is much more demand for small efficient homes like
this now than there’s ever been” remarked Ben Lapp, Branch Manager of the
facilities in Himrod “I definitely see this as a growing market, especially in
the Finger Lakes Area.” Having a cottage along one of the lakes can be a
challenge because of the high price of land so the affordability of these new
homes is very appealing.
The people at Wood-Tex Products focus on bringing about the
realization of their customers’ dreams through experiences and structures that
will last a lifetime. To them, offering these functional apartments is another
way of making dreams a reality, and that is very exciting!
