        "text": "Plan for future accessibility by thinking about single‑level living, wider clearances, and flexible room uses as you design the addition. It’s far cheaper to bake in these features now than retrofit later.\n\nMany families add space for kids today but end up caring for aging parents or their own mobility changes in the same home. A bit of foresight can keep you from needing another remodel.\n\nKey factors:\n- Main‑level bedroom and full bathroom options\n- Minimal steps, wider doors, and clear hallway widths\n- Shower access (low or no threshold) and blocking for future grab bars\n- Space for future caregiver or multi‑generational living\n\nDiscuss long‑term scenarios with your designer and contractor, not just today’s needs. Ask for layouts that can flex—from playroom to guest suite to aging‑in‑place bedroom—with minimal changes. A thoughtful addition plan can support multiple life stages without sacrificing current comfort."
