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:

  • Multiple plains and roof configurations to add interest and value.
  • Cabinet storage dividers and half-moon accessory
  • The addition converted a bungalow into a sprawling rancher with lots of curb appeal.
  • Roof design, window configuration and replacement, exterior trim and stonework come together to create a beautiful and cohesive presentation.
  • Direct access from the primary suite to the backyard.
  • This project utilized every square inch of buildable space without encroaching into property setbacks which would require planning approval.
  • Roof overhang, gutters, down spouts, drainage, plaster finish, window trim, exterior lighting, even water faucets and irrigation. Every detail is attended to!
  • Lots of natural light for during the day and plenty of recessed lighting for the evening.
  • Wardrobe organization system with a place for everything.
  • Hexagonal glass tile shower floor to perfectly accent the wall tile.
  • Frameless clear glass commercial shower enclosure adds beauty and elegance.
  • Accessible walk-in shower for aging in place.</span

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.
