In regards to the style of Irvine homes , times are changing. It could be that the biggest difference since the 1970s is the amount of square footage. In 1973, the average home was 1,600 square feet, a new home today has increased to 2,400. Today, homes have at least two bathrooms when they used to have less than two.

Kitchens have experienced an increase also, now at a giant 285 square feet, up from a modest 9x10. Many kitchens have seen the addition of islands, breakfast bars, and nooks. An old-fashioned living room is a feature of the past. The flat screen TV is what families assemble around today. A complete laundry room is required and many garages hold more than two cars. Children are less likely to share a room as four bedrooms are becoming conventional. Keep posted, Irvine real estate is going to change with the times.

Before putting in an upstairs laundry room in your Irvine home , you might want to do a bit of meticulous planning. If not, you might face water damage or structural problems if the job is done improperly.

To make sure your home will sustain the extra weight and vibrations from a washer and dryer, it is a good idea to hire an architect and possibly even a structural engineer. A floor drain and electronic shutoff valve, which will consequently block the spread of water in case of a leak, is a great way to prevent water damage from flooding.

The most expensive part of the job will be putting in a dedicated electric and gas line. Lastly, do your homework to look for the most quiet and energy efficient appliances. You can safely put in upstairs laundry and raise the value of your Irvine home by following these easy steps.
