The front door enters into the home via a welcoming foyer, complete with a coat closet for convenient storage. Off the foyer is an entrance to the home office, a feature that most people want in their home today. The foyer then leads you into the open-plan main living area. In the center is a dining area flanked by the spacious family room on one side and the kitchen on the other. The kitchen includes a dine-in island, a wealth of counter space, and a walk-in pantry for additional storage. A door in the dining area leads out to the backyard.

Increasingly, many families are moving away from the classic nuclear family and turning instead to older traditions of having multiple generations of family living under one roof. To make this living situation more comfortable for everyone, new homes are being built with what amounts to an apartment within a home, providing privacy and autonomy for everyone, and creating more benefits for the entire family. As a home builder in NJ, we offer what we call our in-law suite as a customization for a large variety of our floor plans.
Multi-generational homes are those with more than two adults living in a household or grandparents living with grandchildren under the age of 25. While it’s more common for parents to move in with children, there are instances where older children move back in with their parents.
Both situations often relate to financial reasons. Sharing the expenses of a home often makes more sense. One larger home may be more affordable than two separate homes. It can also be a way to save money for adult children to put toward their own home eventually. It can also be financially sound to have grandparents available to look after young grandchildren rather than pay the high costs of daycare.
Another benefit of a multi-generational household is sharing the regular maintenance. For older adults, it can become difficult to keep up the maintenance of a large home without help, while for younger adults, they may be too busy with work to keep up with daily chores. By combining families, the workload can be split up according to abilities, easing the workload for everyone.
While financial and maintenance benefits are important, many people choose this lifestyle to create stronger family bonds. Grandparents can be excellent role models for young children, and children develop greater respect and empathy. The sharing of knowledge – whether helping with homework or sharing family history – is also important. Furthermore, older adults are less likely to suffer from loneliness and depression when they feel useful and wanted.
Still, having multiple generations living together in one household can be challenging if there isn’t enough dedicated space for everyone in the home to have their privacy and necessary autonomy. This is why specially designed homes with an in-law or bonus suite are important. These homes typically have what amounts to two primary suites and often include a sitting room and sometimes a kitchenette in the bonus suite to create a home within a home so that everyone can have some peace and privacy when needed. Some in-law suites even include a separate entrance. This provides a retreat for everyone and allows the common areas, such as the main kitchen and family room, to be a place where the whole family can spend time together. This separation can reduce family friction.
If you’ve been considering the benefits of a multi-generational home, we invite you to look at our floor plans and contact us to see how we can help you incorporate an in-law suite into your own ideal home. As a home builder in NJ, we understand the benefits and needs of multi-generational homes and are happy to help you build your own ideal home for the whole family.
The Ravello floorplan is a modern floorplan that responds to the changing needs of any family in today’s busy lifestyle. With over 2,340 square feet of well-planned living space, the Ravello is a floorplan by Schaeffer Family Homes, a home builder in N.J., and features a two-story design with four upstairs bedrooms, a two-car garage, built-in storage, plus room to both flex and grow.
From the front door, the home welcomes you through the foyer to an open-layout living room and kitchen with a large center island. Natural light floods this space from a wall of windows along the back of the home. The coffered ceiling in the living room is an option to capture and bounce more light throughout the space. These are just some of the great touches that the Ravello floorplan offers from this established home builder in N.J.
The kitchen connects back to the front dining room through a butler’s pantry and large storage pantry. There is a large center island in the kitchen and an eat-in nook too.
The first floor also has a main powder room and a roomy mud room /drop area with direct access to/from the two-car garage.
A split staircase leads to the second floor that holds the master bedroom with optional coffered ceiling, and a private ensuite master bathroom with large shower, double sinks, and linen closet that can be modified to include a soaking tub in addition to the separate shower. There is also large walk-in closet to accommodate all the changing seasons.
There are three additional bedrooms which can also be used for any type of flex space such as an exercise room, home office, and game/zoom room. There is a second full bathroom upstairs and the smartly placed laundry room.
Building this home will start at $274,900, plus the site location. You can either build on your own lot or choose a homesite from one of several planned communities from this home builder in New Jersey.
On Schaeffer’s website, you can explore other available floorplans, filter by size and specifications, and then begin to make customized selections. You can also view photos of the models, learn more about each floor plan, and more.

This week, we’re happy to introduce you to an employee who brings positivity to our office and homeowners everyday. Krista Cipollone, our incredible new home sales specialist, is one of the reasons why your homebuilding process is easy, informative, and fun from start to finish.
After graduating from the University of Scranton in 2015 with degrees in broadcast communication and Spanish, Krista started her career in television production in Philadelphia. While she loved working as an associate producer, she was ready for something more challenging… And luckily so, because that’s how she found her Schaeffer family.
In April 2018, Krista joined our team as a new home sales specialist, truly coming full circle — her mom had always worked in real estate and property management, and Krista always had an interest herself. When it comes to her role, Krista’s most excited about our brand new Carriage Mews community in Berlin Borough, (where she lives in her own Schaeffer home!) and absolutely loves hearing the enthusiasm and excitement in a customer’s voice when they’re talking about the “must-haves” in their dream home.
“It’s special to be part of the process of building a new home,” Krista says. “Buying a home is a big decision, and designing your own home makes it personal! I love taking a role in the process of helping people find their dream home.” We may be biased, but you can trust us when we say that when you’re going through this exciting (and emotional) adventure, there’s no one warmer, more kind, and more insightful than Krista to have on your side.
It’s no surprise that Krista’s just as adventurous and fun-loving outside of Schaeffer… When she’s not in the office helping homeowners, you can find Krista staying active while snowboarding, playing tennis, paddle boarding, bowling, playing ping pong, and traveling, as well as cheering on the Broad Street Bullies as a Philadelphia Flyers Ice Girl.
Krista also loves animals, and volunteers with a West Berlin rescue called Balanced Buddies Res-Q. She says that her dog, Sully, is her absolute pride and joy, and loves extending her affinity for furry friends outside of her home. Just as thoughtful as she is hard-working, Krista’s an incredible addition to our team. We’re so lucky to have you, Krista! Thank you for all that you do for Schaeffer and our homeowners.
For more information on our homes and communities throughout South Jersey, please visit our website or give us a call at 856-208-5118. Krista can’t wait to work with you to help bring your dream home to life!
There are few things more special than sharing the feeling of home with your family. Between milestones and everyday moments, your home is the safest and most comforting place in the world. Only someone who lives and breathes the value of family knows how to build the homes that families deserve, and we’re proud to say that at Schaeffer Family Homes, that someone is none other than our wonderful leader, Jason Schaeffer.
When he first stepped into his role, the first thing that Jason did was incorporate the word “family” into the company name. “We are truly a family company. My mother still works for the company, as do my brother and wife. We have many employees who have been with us for decades and all of our employees are treated as family.” Best of all, when you buy a home with us, you become a lasting part of this Schaeffer family.
Before purchasing the family business from his mother and father in 2006, Jason worked in construction as a service and warranty manager, a sales manager, and eventually an operations manager for many years, in which he oversaw about 1,000 homes being built. Everything he’s learned about the industry through his past experiences have helped to shape his role today, and we’re grateful for the chance to learn from him every day!
Since the very beginning, Jason has put a significant emphasis on exceptional customer service. The happiness of his homeowners is his number one priority, which all starts with a rewarding building experience. Because GuildQuality provides Schaeffer Family Homes with real market research from homeowners, Jason pays special attention to what you say, so he can ensure that the work he does significantly enhances your life.
Having grown up in Berlin Borough, Jason has always been close to where our headquarters and design center are today. After spending time traveling and working after college, Jason settled into the new home industry and has been here ever since. Jason married his high school sweetheart, moved to beautiful Haddonfield, and lives there now with his wife and three sons.
It’s no surprise that Jason’s love of family and community doesn’t stop when he’s not in the office. In fact, his favorite thing to do in his free time is to enjoy moments with his family, whether that’s going on trips, relaxing at home, or attending his children’s sporting or music events. He also pursues aviation — did you know that Jason is a private pilot? If he weren’t the owner of Schaeffer Family Homes, he’d be flying planes!
When it comes to the heart and soul of your home, there are no better hands to be in than Jason’s. With an unmatched eye for aesthetics, design, and function (fun fact: Jason was given a scholarship to attend the Accademia di Bella Arti in Florence and was a professional sculptor after college), and an immense amount of love and care for his work and his homeowners, Jason is the co-pilot you want on your homebuilding journey.
All of us at Schaeffer Family Homes would love to thank Jason for being the greatest leader and inspiration of all. Our work is a fulfilling adventure each and every day, due in large part to the man that helps to make the magic happen. For more information on our homes and communities throughout South Jersey, please visit our website or give us a call at 856-208-5118. We can’t wait to help you find your dream home!
For three generations, Schaeffer Family Homes has been committed to positively impacting the lives of our clients. Because we always incorporate family values and exceptional customer service into our work, we’re able to build the highest-quality homes while providing a smooth and stress-free process to our homeowners.
Our whole team is excited to announce that we’ve won a 2018 Guildmaster Award from GuildQuality! Given to companies who deliver incredible customer experiences, recipients “must achieve a recommendation rate of 90% as well as a certain response rate based on volume.” And guess what: we were the only builder in New Jersey to be awarded this honor. This means that we truly are the number one customer service choice in our beautiful state.
We’re always proud to be recognized for our hard work, but most importantly, we’re proud of our ability to satisfy each and every one of our clients. The people that we work with are what make work worth it! This award is a reminder to us that we have the greatest clients in the world.
If you’re looking for a living space that reflects you and your lifestyle, and exemplifies the real meaning of “there’s no place like home,” Schaeffer Family Homes would love to partner with you. This journey is one of the greatest you’ll ever take, and we want to make sure it’s as memorable as it should be.
