I always keep a music room. For guitars, other instruments, amplifiers, mics, accessories, CDs, box sets, albums, guitar cases, all that. And I have a nice collection of framed art on the walls.
It's a real pleasure to go in there and it keeps all of the albums and CDs from cluttering the rest of the house.
Smelting, casting, reloading - 3 car garage, 1 br and expanding into forging. The next house will probably be a bricked barn with hot tub and a living loft - the other option assisted living
I've had many dedicated/custom spaces over the years, but my hobby and vocation lists overlap a lot.
Had two lifts in my last house. Sold them on advice of the RE agent... The intersection of buyers who would want them and see them as extra value was much smaller than those who would be turned off or just expect them for free.
But mostly things like workshops, well equipped garages, offices, photo/video stages etc.
Some people (many I know) build acoustically perfect rooms for their hi-fi systems. A lot of us do our listening in everyday rooms, but pay some attention to acoustics.
I'm a very messy painter, so I require a special room , special daggy clothes and a large apron. Some paint still finds its way to the floor and onto the dog.
We always buy a house with an oversized garage and then build a pretty extensive workshop and install storage for bikes, kayaks, and other sport gear. It's never hurt the resale of any of our houses, in fact it's usually touted as a special feature.
yes.
reloading requires a specific space.
gunpowder, you know.
Same here.
I have other hobbies that take up space in regards to storage of equipment, but reloading is my one hobby that requires a specific space dedicated to it.
I modified the attic space slightly to accommodate a work bench and storage. I doubt it added any value to my home though as getting up there is a real pain in the butt. Most people couldn’t do it.
Yeah, horses require a lot of extra space. I finally got that in 2000 on my own property, after boarding many years. We built a large galvanized- steel corral and a modest barn. It was a lot of work and money.
I "assumed" it would add value to the property since it seemed logical horse people would buy it.
As far as I know, the buyers don't have horses there, so I feel bad about that. A waste of really good horse facilities.
Our rafting equipment was fold-up, so took little space, in the barn.
We have DH's piano in the LR, and his guitars stacked there too. Downsized to a condo, with bikes in the garage.
