Don’t worry about the list, we have you covered!
If you’re taking advantage of the housing boom by investing in the ultimate property, you’ll need to check out some of the items on our list. Keep reading to get a fool-proof set of all the manly must-haves in your future house.
5 Must-Haves for Every Man’s House Hunting Checklist
1. A Dedicated Hangout Room
We’re talking about the ultimate mancave. It’s a dedicated space for men to be men. That means large screen televisions, gaming consoles, sports on the big screen, lounging chairs and the like.
Any room can be converted into a hangout room, but the best will be somewhat secluded or away from other busy areas. Basements seem to be the preferred choice for the man cave.
2. A Deck or Patio for Grilling
Men like to grill out, that’s a well-known fact. What manly home would be complete without a deck or patio behind the house to do a little grilling?
Look for homes with a place for your grill, preferably partially covered to protect the grill and other items from the rain. An area with a large screen around it would be ideal for keeping out bugs, but any deck or patio can do the trick.
Enlist the help of professional services like Dean Smith Realty and explain your needs and must-haves. Finding a great house with the potential for a future deck or patio may be your immediate solution.
3. Functioning Plumbing
Sometimes a guy just wants a DIY project to leave their personal touch on a home. However, you might be the type of guy that doesn’t want to start things off with a long and expensive fix. And there’s nothing glamorous about DIY plumbing.
When you’re touring a property or exploring a listing in person, try every sink, faucet, and toilet. You’ll want to make sure all the pipes and drains work properly before you sign on the dotted line.
4. A Fenced-In Backyard
Social gatherings are a lot easier to pull off when you have a 24/7 venue steps from your back door. Dogs need a yard for many reasons, and children can always benefit from a safe, nearby place to get their energy out.
You can also host field games in your backyard for your parties (or any occasion) while keeping your privacy.
5. A Pool
Obviously, the crowning jewel to the new house would be a pool right in your backyard, letting you enjoy the most luxurious home feature.
Pool parties elevate backyard gatherings and BBQs, and they make your house the perfect summer hangout. While pool upkeep may deter some guys, the right know-how and a regular pattern of cleaning are all you need.
