This family incorporated a two story in-law addition to their home, making room for the patriarch of the family. The addition includes a private entrance, living room, family room, eat-in kitchen, master bedroom/bath, powder room and second floor bedroom/bath and laundry. Wow!
A favorite among the grandchildren and great grandchildren this dad/grandad’s in-law addition allows for overnight stays for his grandkids and also offers independent living, yet connected to the family home.
The home is located on a large lot with plenty of room for gardens and a personal workshop. Since dad has worked with his hands all of his life, the family wanted to insure that he could putter around and enjoy the things he desires to do during his golden years.
This is just one story, among many, that can be told of families merging together to help with aging in place or young growing families needing a hand with child care. Grandparents can add a dimension of influence for this generation’s children that offers a history of days gone by and today’s senior is active with friends and family and involved in the community. They are living longer, healthier and many desire less homeowner responsibility. A favorite option for today’s baby boomer is to add an addition to their present home, turn over the main living area to the kids and grandkids and enjoy a simpler, yet luxurious life in an
in-law addition.
