Why Go Up? The Benefits of a Second Storey Extension:

Choosing to extend your home upwards offers many advantages for Perth homeowners, to enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your living space. A second storey addition not only optimises your existing property but also provides many benefits that can significantly improve not only your lifestyle, but also the value of your home.


  1. Maximise Your Land

In a city where block sizes can be a premium, particularly in sought-after suburbs, a second storey allows you to significantly increase your living space without reducing your outdoor areas. This is especially advantageous for families who need backyard space to play, as well as for those who enjoy entertaining friends. By building adding a second storey addition to your home, you preserve your backyard space all while enjoying the benefits of additional indoor space.


  1. Avoid Having to Move to Another Home

The process of moving can often be an emotional and logistical rollercoaster, filled with challenges such as selling your current home, packing up your belongings, searching for a new property and the stress of settling into a new environment. By opting for a second storey addition, you can bypass this journey altogether. This continuity not only reduces stress but also allows your family to maintain their social connections and routines.


  1. Increase Property Value

Investing in a well-designed and expertly executed second storey addition can significantly boost the value of your Perth property. Real estate experts often highlight that adding extra living space can yield a high return on investment, making it a wise long-term financial decision. As the demand for larger homes continues to rise, particularly in urban areas, your property can become more attractive to potential buyers in the future, ensuring that your investment pays off should you decide to sell.


  1. Customise Your Space

When you choose to add a second storey, you have complete control over the design, layout and features of your new level. Whether you envision creating the master suite of your dreams, a dedicated children's retreat, a light-filled studio for your creative pursuits, or a spacious home theatre for family movie nights; the possibilities are endless. This level of customisation allows you to tailor your home to fit your unique lifestyle and preferences, ensuring that every square meter serves a purpose that aligns with your family's needs.


  1. Capitalise on Views

Depending on your location in Perth, a second storey can unlock breathtaking views of the city skyline, the scenic Swan River, or even your outdoor area. Not only does this enhance your living experience, but it also adds a unique selling point to your home, making it even more desirable and valuable.


  1. Create Distinct Zones

A second storey naturally creates a separation between living areas downstairs and sleeping or recreational spaces upstairs, offering enhanced privacy and functionality for the whole family. This zoning can be particularly beneficial for families, as it allows for a harmonious living environment where different activities and lifestyles can coexist. The distinct separation also provides opportunities for creating a quiet retreat for relaxation or study, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
