Housing needs have fundamentally changed as a result of the pandemic. Flexible living spaces that can transition from classroom to playroom or home office to home gym are more important than ever. Fortunately, M/I Homes offers a wide selection of floorplans with flex rooms that homeowners can use as dedicated or multipurpose spaces.

Magnolia Ridge, Sienna, Mustang Crossing and Tavola are among the Houston-area M/I Homes communities that feature these functional layouts. Some of the homes are move-in ready and come with free stainless steel appliances and paid closing costs offered through M/I Financial if they’re able to close before year-end.

335 Jewett Meadow Drive is a charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow in the Magnolia Ridge community. Following the Desoto floorplan, this recently-completed, 1,751-square-foot home features a spacious flex room off the foyer. The space receives a tremendous amount of natural light and provides views of the outdoors, making it the perfect spot for remote work or online learning. Wood-look flooring runs throughout the common areas and bathrooms, while cozy carpeting is found in the bedrooms. 

While there are three ready-to-build floorplans with flex rooms within the Sienna master-plan, buyers can also choose to purchase the designer-decorated model home and opt into a leaseback program. Inspired by country farmhouse exteriors, 8711 Azalea Crossing Court comes complete with a second-floor game room and powder room for entertaining. The space is large enough to accommodate a shuffleboard table, sofa and media console, and the punchy power room touts patterned ceramic tile. 

1223 Steed Bluff Drive is a two-story, brick-clad home within the Mustang Crossing development. Equipped with a flex space and a game room, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom residence spans 2,712 square feet. Three well-sized bedrooms are located on the second floor, each containing a walk-in closet with shared access to a full bathroom. Down the hall is the expansive game room, where kids of all ages can hang out or complete homework. Parents will appreciate the sumptuous first-floor owner’s suite, which includes a walk-in closet, garden-style soaking tub, dual vanities and a frameless glass shower. 

Nestled within the Tavola community is 18931 Columbus Mill Drive, a beautifully appointed model home with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a three-car garage. This move-in ready abode boasts an enclosed study with decorative wall paneling, two large windows, and a ‘secret’ door that connects to the owner’s suite. There’s also a second-floor game room and powder room with plenty of space for a billiards table and bar seating.
