According to a recent AARP survey, 90% of Americans wish to stay in their current home for retirement and CRD has seen that growing trend play out with some recent renovations completed by our older clients.
Additions to Homes for Aging in Place
One thing we discuss with all clients approaching or in retirement age is whether they wish to stay in their home throughout their “golden years” and which features they would like to add to make aging in place practical and safe for all household members. These elements include grab bars in showers and bathrooms, wider hallways that can accommodate a wheelchair, zero-entry showers, wall-hung toilets, varying countertop heights, automated blinds, ramps and bidet-toilet combos like the Washlet™.
Remodeling in the Seattle Real Estate Boom
In today’s tight Seattle real estate marketing, it just makes sense to renovate your existing home rather than try to outbid masses of other buyers for a new piece of property. CRD Design Build can help you turn your existing home in to a stylish, modern masterpiece, with elements—whether they are geared toward aging in place or not—that were carefully designed with your wants and needs top of mind.
