Residence Elevators are not cheap, but they are definitely not worthless. Of the umpteen benefits of having a residence elevator, we will scrutinize the top 3 and see how we can benefit from the installation of residential elevators in our own homes.

1.     Augmenting the Resale Value

Seems an unlikely advantage to most of us, but with worrisome seismic activities in the economic world, I would like to keep all my options open. A friend's suggestion set me off to ponder gravely on the financial aspects of renovating the house with a residence elevator. I did the same with my kitchen and got new fireplaces for the sitting room. With just 3 floors, there seems little justification for installing a lift, but the payoffs looked promising. I have been told by real estate agents that elderly or physically immobile individuals in a family are the primary reasons why buyers will choose my home over others.

2.     Face-lifting the Facade

The elevator shaft had a glass exterior which significantly bolstered the style factor. The wooden doors inside the residence elevator are nothing less than the ones you would expect to see on a multi-million dollar mansion!  As the elevator rises to the top floor the coveted swimming pool on the roof appears right outside the glass doors. On the face-lifting front, I am satisfied with the outcome of my decision to install a residence elevator.

3.     Improved Accessibility

I will not mince my words while appreciating how the residence elevator has reduced my efforts in climbing up or down the staircase. Carrying small loads in the elevator is very convenient and it has markedly reduced my efforts in carrying grocery and stuff in and out of the house. I occasionally take the stairs but the residence elevator now handles most of the household traffic.

With a little creativity, you can come up with your own reasons for installing a residence elevator.
