There are as many practical reasons for building a Bensonwood Carriage House as there are ways to enjoy one. Here are just a few:

Cost-Efficient Living
As a stand-alone dwelling, the compact size, efficient layout, and energy saving performance of the Bensonwood Carriage House mean you can live cost efficiently while living lightly
on the land.

Guest Cottage
We all love having special overnight guests, but having them in our own space—not so much. With a guest house, your most cherished friends and relatives will remain so—even if they stay that extra day or two!

Garage Apartment
Whether growing or downsizing, there always seems to be a need for utility space. Not just for cars any more, the garage apartment may also have to accommodate recreational vehicles, boats, and storage. The living space also has new demands: Maybe you're easing your grown children out of the nest, or nudging grandparents back into the nest. Regardless of how your needs change, your Bensonwood Carriage House will always be there for whatever
life has in store.

Home Office/Art or Photo Studio/Hobby Zone
Live/Work is so big these days—now that the Internet has freed many up from their distant offices. The Bensonwood Carriage House is perfect for a home office, art studio, or hobby zone. Configured as a photo studio, or ceramics studio, the car bay(s) can become uninterrupted production space for oversized equipment. And whether it's free standing or connected to your main house, commuting to it is just steps away.

Phased Production
For those who own land, yet are still several years off from building your main house, your Bensonwood Carriage House will get you on your land sooner. And that means you can be living on site while your main house is being built. Then, when your primary homestead is completed, your garage and guest cottage are waiting to join in on the celebration.

Cost Effective Expansion
If you're looking for a cost effective home addition to satisfy your family's growing needs, consider a Bensonwood Carriage House with connector. Besides opening up a new world of living and storage possibilities, your carriage house addition will complement your home and property with its distinctive and classic architectural flair.
