Timeless Comfort: Aging-in-Place Primary Suite
Brentwood, California
Scope: The Brokers contacted us to add a second primary suite away from their existing bedrooms. They wanted more privacy and an aging-in-place design so, as they age, they can remain in their home indefinitely. They plan to utilize the existing primary bedroom to accommodate a future in-home caregiver. Our solution was a 444 square-foot addition consisting of a spacious bedroom, bathroom with twin lavatories, private toilet room, a roomy accessible shower, and a large walk-in closet. The bedroom has private access to the rear yard and lots of windows for natural light and ventilation.
Features: The addition transformed a traditional bungalow into a spacious rancher with enhanced curb appeal, featuring a cohesive blend of roof design, window placement, trim, and stonework. Thoughtfully planned exterior details, from lighting to irrigation, complement the design. Inside, smart storage solutions, abundant natural light, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection elevate functionality and comfort. The primary suite now opens to the backyard, while the bathroom boasts elegant hexagonal tiles, a frameless glass shower, and an accessible walk-in design for aging in place. Maximizing space without encroaching on setbacks, this project seamlessly balances practicality and timeless style.

Client Testimonial: “We hired the Carey Brothers to build a large addition (master bedroom, master bath, large walk in closet) to our 4 bedroom home which was just recently completed. It is beautiful and blends into the existing house seamlessly. Working with The Carey’s was a pleasure due to the high level of experience, design skills, work quality and integrity they bring to the project. Very satisfied and I am a Home Inspector!” -Jim B.
