Originally designed as caretakers’ residences, apartment-style barn homes are quickly becoming a huge real estate trend across Texas. Many are full renovations of existing barns, and still a few more are modular kits developed to provide everything for a prospective owner to build the requisite barn and subsequent apartment above. There are as many models and designs as you can shake a stick at, and it’s all dependent really on budget and time. Barn Apartments can be customized in any way the homeowner/tenant would like and here are just a few that got beautifully creative with dormers, unique roof pitches for full-use, and classic exterior finishes.
