A freestanding residential structure not attached to any other dwelling.
What is Detached Home?
A detached home is a freestanding residence that does not share any walls with another dwelling, sitting on its own lot. It typically offers the most privacy, outdoor space, and control over the property, which is why it usually commands a higher price than attached options. Detached homes involve more maintenance than condos or attached homes, since the owner is responsible for the entire structure and land.
