The holiday season has come and gone but the hosting isn’t over. Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner and it’s right back to planning. You send out the invites, decide on all the snacks and drinks, and then you walk through your home with a fresh set of eyes. You’re wondering if your sectional can actually fit twelve people, pulling out a folding table that awkwardly fits, and eyeballing your counter space trying to figure out how everything will fit. While also leaving space for people to hang out and enjoy the game.
Every year, it’s the same thing. Guests arrive and the space fills up. Countertops disappear under slow cookers, veggie trays, and chip bowls. Someone is balancing a plate on their lap and people awkwardly gather around one television trying to watch the big game. Somewhere between halftime and the fourth quarter you catch yourself wishing you had just a little more room to breathe.
Hosting shouldn’t be a headache, it should be a time you look forward to. Opening your home to the people you love and making memories. Relaxing and being able to soak in those moments rather than dreading them.
It’s something we hear over and over again, from people touring our homes and from the families already living in them. There’s finally space for everyone.
So what makes the difference?
Open Concept
You walk in and immediately feel the difference. You’re greeted by a foyer that invites you in and flows seamlessly into the kitchen. The kitchen that opens up to a great room. Keeping everyone together with plenty of room to spread out. Just outside, off the great room and kitchen, the Game Day Porch takes the Super Bowl outdoors. And it doesn’t end there. In home plans like the Jackson, there is additional space off the kitchen for a breakfast area and a main level flex room. Extra seating, more room for food, or a space for kids to hang out. Whatever you need it to be.
Game Day Porch
Take hosting outside with Hughston Homes’ beloved Game Day Porch. A covered porch with a built-in stone or brick fireplace that keeps Super Bowl Sunday warm even when you’re outdoors. No more crowding around one TV inside. The Game Day Porch comes pre-wired for a TV hookup and includes two 5-inch built-in speakers, making it the perfect spot to catch the game without missing a play. Additional upgrades are available to make the most of your space.
Kitchen Space
A functional kitchen space truly is the key for successful hosting. A Hughston Homes kitchen offers a large prep kitchen island with built-in electrical outlets, giving you plenty of space for prepping or arranging game day snacks. Keeping the slow cooker plugged in and the food warm without running out of counter space. Add a few bar stools to the island and you’ve got even more seating. Granite countertops and tile backsplash are as easy to clean as they are to show off. And with upgrades like double ovens, you can have the wings and the buffalo chicken dip ready at the same time.
Home Plan
Find a home plan that fits your game day. Hughston Homes offers a variety of home plans so your home can flow the way you want. The Jackson features a flex room on the main level and a breakfast area off the kitchen, giving you options for extra seating, dedicated food spread, or just more room to move. The Oakwood gives you a media room upstairs, a perfect spot for the kids to have their own game day or for guests who want a quieter place to watch. And while the dining room is separate from the kitchen and great room, large openings keep everything connected.
Stop rearranging furniture and hoping for the best. Stop borrowing chairs and squeezing a folding table into the corner. Tour a Hughston Homes model home and see what hosting game day could actually feel like. Walk the home plans, check out the Game Day Porch, and start picturing game day in a home built for it.
