A Second-Story Sunroom

People choose to add second-story sunrooms to their homes for a number of reasons. For example, a ground floor sunroom might not easily work with the home’s layout, but the main reason people choose a second story sunroom, is to take advantage of a great view. This is why these sunrooms are common in mountainous areas. They are also popular additions to beach houses, which are typically several stories high.

A sunroom, opposed to an open deck, provides additional living space and protection from the elements and bugs while maximizing your view year-round! Glass and screen rolling panels allow you to take in as much fresh air as you wish but can be quickly closed when the weather turns nasty.

These Elkridge, MD residents added a third-story sunroom to their home for added space and to take in the bird’s eye view of their trees. They said, “Our sunroom is like a treehouse, and the changing of the leaves in fall makes a beautiful scene.”

Lanoka Harbor, NJ residents converted their second-story deck into a solarium so they could enjoy their extraordinary view of the Atlantic Ocean year-round. Not only do they love the view, but “the fact that the room stood strong during Hurricane Sandy!”

A Two-Story Sunroom

A two-story, or double-decker sunroom is two enclosures, one on top of the other. For homes that have great views from both the first and second floor, a two-story sunroom may be an ideal way to add more living space while maintaining maximum views from each floor.

These Pennsylvania residents enclosed their existing covered porch on the first floor of their home to create a sunroom and then added a second-story sunroom to provide additional space and take in the views of their lovely yard.
