Comfortable Laundry Rooms - A Must...

This article is from Realtor Magazine.  If you are thinking of making changes in your home or building a new home, you might want to keep the following in mind.

"Convenient and comfortable laundry rooms are an increasingly popular feature among home buyers.

Tom Byrne, president of Rockville, Md.-based Chadsworth Homes Inc., says they are more popular than such features as studies and media rooms.

"In the past few years, 30 percent of the homes we build ... have a laundry room with granite countertops, a single-level kitchen-style faucet, and the laundry tub will be an undercounter sink," Byrne says.

Stephen Melman, director of economic services for the National Association of Home Builders, concurs.

"These rooms are becoming larger and more multifunctional, with organizers, a table for folding, ironing stations, and windows with a view," Melman says."
