What is stack bedrooms in real estate?

Answer 1

Some buyers are savvy and know exactly what they are looking for in a house; therefore, the term "Stacked Bedrooms" is use to describe to potential buyers, that ALL bedrooms are located one after the other on the "same side" of the house. For example, if you are looking to buy a 3 bedroom house and in the descriptions it state Stacked Bedrooms, expect that when you view the locations of the rooms all of them will be in the same area usually in a row.

Some Stacked Bedrooms design to share the same dividing wall or you may have a pantry, linen closet, AC/Heater or a Bathroom in-between each room. Oftentimes, the layout of the stacked bedrooms are poorly design making them least attractive to savvy, especially "none" first time home, buyers. I have a buyer that fell in love with a property that have 3 ugly stacked bedroom. The rest of the property was comfortable and beautiful enough to offset the ugly stacked bedrooms.

On the other hand, "Split Bedrooms" are the opposite. Be careful not to confuse "Split Bedroom" house with a "Split Level" house. A split level means the rooms are not all on the same floor. While the term split level is often times use to describe 2 story house with two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs or vise versa, it is also use to describe the layout of 1 story houses.

Due to privacy needs and taste, most savvy buyers tend to like "Split Bedrooms" over "Stack Bedrooms". A house described as having split bedrooms mean, that the "master bedroom" is totally isolated or located far away from the other bedrooms, usually, on the other opposite side of the house. Oftentimes you must walk across the center of the house or from one opposite side to the other in order to get to the master bedroom.
