Spotlight On: Family Friendly Home Features
Are you looking for a home that perfectly suits your family's needs? Ernest Homes offers a variety of thoughtfully crafted floor plans designed with families of all ages in mind. From open-concept living spaces to flexible rooms that grow with you, our homes are built around comfort, function, and connection.
Here’s a look at some of our plans and the family-friendly features that make them stand out.
Family-Friendly Features for All Ages and Stages
Ernest Homes understands that families come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you have young children, teenagers, multi-generational needs, or are planning for the future, there’s a perfect plan for you.
Primary Living Spaces
Our commitment to creating inviting shared spaces is especially evident in plans like The Edisto. These floor plans feature open-concept layouts that connect the kitchen, dining, and living areas. This design promotes interaction, allowing parents to keep an eye on children while preparing meals or spending time together as a family.
The seamless flow between spaces also makes these homes ideal for gatherings and entertaining guests. Many Ernest Homes plans also include dedicated drop zones, mudrooms, or foyers—perfect for busy families needing a place to unload backpacks, coats, shoes, and sports gear.
Ample Bedrooms
Families need space—and we design our homes with that in mind. Plans like The Greybeard and The Madison offer three to four bedrooms, giving families the flexibility to create kids’ rooms, guest rooms, nurseries, or hobby spaces.
Larger families or households planning to grow will find plenty of layouts that easily adapt to future needs.
Kid-Friendly Designs
Ernest Homes pays close attention to the spaces kids use most. For instance, The Kingston offers a Jack-and-Jill bathroom configuration between secondary bedrooms, making it easy for siblings to share while maintaining privacy. These thoughtful setups help families stay organized during busy mornings.
Flex Spaces
Flex rooms are a staple across many Ernest Homes designs. In plans like The Hilton, these adaptable rooms can serve as:
- Playrooms
- Homework areas
- Teen hangout spaces
- Craft or hobby rooms
- Home gyms
- Media rooms
As your family grows and changes, these flexible spaces grow with you.
So Much Storage
Families always seem to have a lot of “stuff”—and we plan for that. Homes like The Nantucket include generous storage solutions such as walk-in closets, oversized pantries, and well-designed laundry rooms to help keep your home organized.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor spaces are essential for families who enjoy spending time together outside. Many Ernest floor plans, such as The Laurel and The Seabrook, include covered porches or patios—perfect for outdoor play, grilling, or relaxing as a family.
Single-Level Plans for Multi-Generational Families
For families with aging parents, mobility concerns, or those who simply prefer step-free living, single-story plans like The Wassaw and The Liberty offer convenient layouts that eliminate stairs and support easy movement throughout the home.
