One of the many nice things about building a brand new custom home is that you can tailor your home to accommodate your needs as you grow older. After all, few people want to move when they finally hit the age of maturity!
A one story plan is often the right choice for the older population. But if your heart is set on a two story, consider having the Master Bedroom on the first floor. Or, if you’d prefer the Master Bedroom upstairs (perhaps with the kids while they are young), consider at least having a full bathroom on the first floor. You can always convert an Office, Multi-Use Room, etc., into a bedroom in the future.
Other good ideas to consider are wider hallways, 3’ doorways, zero-threshold showers, taller toilets, taller vanities, and grab bars. You might also want to consider minimizing the amount of steps to the house as well as in the house.
