One Home for Multiple Generations? Try This Carrollwood Tradition

According to the 2013 National Association of Realtors’ annual demographic study, Profiles of Homebuyers & Sellers, 25% of buyers purchased homes to care for aging parents. A recent article in the Tampa Bay Times, Who Bought A Home In Florida in 2013?also cited this statistic as being true for the Tampa-St. Pete housing market. Finding one home that can comfortably accommodate two or more families of different ages and life stages is becoming an increasingly common request in real estate.  This is a smart way for adult children to look after their older parents, who made need assistance as they age. Still, this type of living arrangement definitely calls for a versatile floor plan– one that allows for the right mix privacy, independence and serenity.

Sound impossible?  It’s not!  Just check out this traditional Carrollwood beauty that sits on Lake Elaine.

At 4,069 square feet of living space, this 4-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom residence has both and upstairs and downstairs Master bedrooms.
