Making Your Home
Last a Lifetime BY CARLA HUCKABEE
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
R
eady to go with a checklist and a budget, the new owners met with the contractor and initiated a major rehab project on their just purchased home. In their fifties, this was to be home for the rest of their lives. They moved in two months later and soon their initial pleasure turned into regret that they hadn’t consulted with an expert on aging in place. Pam Dent, REALTOR® with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc., sees this scenario play out in so many ways. Whether a homeowner wants to stay put and upgrade the home’s look and function, or a move is in the works, many of the decisions are the same. And most often, those decisions are better informed under guidance from a pro. For renovations, that can mean an Aging-in-Place Specialist or Living in Place Professional. “When purchasing a home, your best bet is to seek the guidance of a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®).” Those pros will help you consider the best options for safety, comfort, accessibility, and ultimately, value; regardless of where you are in the typical life cycle.
Some houses are easier to keep for the long haul than others. But finding a home that will serve you well through your entire life is truly exceptional. Building in flexibility is key to adjusting to life situations. Whether you are a homeowner or a buyer, by acknowledging major life cycle pressures you can evaluate layout, amenities, technology, and location to create a home you can enjoy long term.
Life Cycle Pressures You may not hit every milestone that could trigger a change in housing: leave your parents’ home, marriage, kids, empty nest, retirement, declining health. But most likely your path will see similar pressure points, and those pressures often call the shots on what kind of home serves you best. Two significant milestones that often trigger the need to upsize are getting into a relationship and having kids. On the other end of the spectrum is deciding to downsize due to an empty nest or the end of a relationship (typically divorce or death). Other life events like job changes, retirement, and diminished physical or financial capacity, are sprinkled throughout life.
Buying for the Long Haul According to the National Association of REALTORS®, homeowners remained in their homes an average of 13 years in 2018. This is up three years from 2008. That time could expand if buyers look at homes that accommodate their current life cycle along with the next predictable one. One example is the beginning of the empty nest through the years where health may be declining. Cynthia Hash, SRES® Find Homes Team Leader with Keller Williams Alliance - Charlottesville, says, “All real estate should be viewed as a long-term investment. Even if you don’t hold on to it for the long haul, it’s helpful to go into a transaction thinking about the long-term implications and possibilities.” Sometimes the most affordable choice will cost more in the long run if it requires an eventual move that could have been avoided. Sharon Donovan, REALTOR® with McLean Faulconer, Inc. says, “Creating your ideal living situation costs money; whether that’s spending money to upgrade an existing home that doesn’t quite meet your needs or moving to a home that does. The best scenario is when you can find a home that allows you to age in place throughout an entire life span.”
“Answering the age-old question of master bedroom on the first floor or second is always a tough decision for parents with children at home, particularly when the kids are young. One area development offering ground floor masters nearly 30 years ago is Glenmore. Because the house footprint is larger, the lots are too, meaning more work for the homeowner.” Decoupling the first floor master and a large lot has been addressed in several ways. Peacock Hill, as far back as the 1970s, has been successful in keeping lot sizes small, even for ground floor masters. Many neighborhoods, such as Redfields southwest of Charlottesville, offer attached garden homes with exterior maintenance provided. “An elevator is one way to solve where to put the master bedroom,” says Donovan, “as in Craig Builders’ Out of Bounds community off Barracks Road. While their original offerings of luxury villas and elevator townhomes are sold out, this model is growing in popularity. Another solution is two master suites, one up and one down. This is the ultimate house for aging in place. It has a great guest suite on the ground floor when your kids are young, and when you’re ready, you can move downstairs.”
Builder Magazine agrees. Smaller first floor master homes and those with dual master suites are in demand.
Fixing Up for the Long Haul
Cabinets that roll out and raise and lower, controls on the front of the oven; the list goes on and on of strategies that can create a kitchen and home that will work for the long haul. Simply raising outlets and lowering light switches increases accessibility for everyone. Whether you’re a young parent carrying a baby and a diaper bag, a student coming home with a laptop in one arm and books in another, or an arthritic elder that can’t get a tight enough grip to turn the doorknob, lever door handles are another simple solution that improves life at all stages. Find an accessibility checklist online. But that list is only the starting point. To get the most from your real estate investment, consult with the right professionals. A lever doorknob will show up on nearly every list of accessibility features. But an Aging-in-Place Specialist or a Certified Living in Place Professional will make sure the lever has an end return within one half inch of the door to prevent your hand slipping off and clothing getting caught. If you’re approaching middle age or beyond, an SRES® designated agent will review the major factors affecting seniors in a real estate purchase, even if you don’t quite qualify for senior spe-
cials yet. These REALTORS® have been trained to understand and have the best information available to help figure out the ideal living arrangement as you approach your senior years. Whether buying or renovating, technology can play a huge role in making a home livable for the long haul, and professionals can help. Everything from suggesting more charger stations and positioning Wi-Fi, to utilizing voiceactivated or condition-automated appliances, showers and lighting. We’ve come a long way since the clapper lamp in 1985; make sure you are reaping those lifestyle benefits.
Location That Keeps Delivering As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, some people have a newly found freedom to live anywhere, rather than having to live close to where they work. For a location that will keep you happy for the long-term, Central Virginia fits the bill. From climate to culture and beautiful backdrops, Hash sees clients being very deliberate about choosing Central Virginia because it is great for all life stages. “You can come to UVA as an undergrad and be just as enthralled with the area 60 years later.” Outdoor lovers find enough enjoyment to stay a lifetime.
“When compared to the Northeast and to Northern Virginia, this area is affordable. That draws people in and makes it easy to stay. And all four seasons show up here. Any further south, winters disappear; further north and they are too severe.” Education, medical care, restaurants and a vibrant social scene appeal to all ages. “Condos, farms and estates, single family and attached housing, resort living, and gated and golf communities abound,” says Dent. “Choose the level of maintenance compatible with your lifestyle. If you will be traveling part of the year or have had enough mowing and trimming for a lifetime, communities that provide exterior maintenance may be a priority at any stage of your life.” When taken all together, a home configuration that allows flexibility, amenities that support multiple life stages, and a location that meets employment, recreation, social, and service needs, it is possible to live happily, comfortably, and safely in the same house for your entire life. Central Virginia is a great place to find them all. Carla Huckabee writes about health and high performing real estate.

If you love your home and location but it doesn’t feel particularly accessible, don’t despair. With the right bones, there is a lot you can do to make your current home accommodate whatever life throws at you. An open floor plan makes everything else easier. With open space you can situate furniture and functions with easy navigation in mind. Wide halls and 36-inch wide doors are the standard for easy wheelchair access. After general navigation is handled, the true test of a home that can last through all life stages comes in the kitchen and bathrooms. These are where things can get downright dangerous. Whether renovating or designing a new home, homeowners should seek guidance from skilled professionals, like Ann McKinley, Owner/Designer at Ann’s Kitchen and Bath Design. McKinley will walk you through the basics of accessibility, like bathrooms with a true walk-in shower, bench, handheld showerhead, and grab bars. And then she’ll take it one step further by converting function into elegance. “Everyone is at risk of falling in the shower, but there’s no reason to settle for an institutional look when safety can be achieved with elegant curves and beautiful pieces. Towel bars, shampoo and soap holders, or toilet paper holders can all serve as grab bars, if specially designed pieces are installed and supported correctly.” The Invisia Collection is one of the luxury lines that McKinley recommends to serve double duty. “Buyers should remember that you can’t use a standard towel bar and expect it to hold a person’s weight. You need to be careful about what you are buying and how it will be installed.” A regular contractor may not be an expert in accessibility features and installation. Whether renovating or buying, the long view will almost always pay off when it comes to the kitchen. If you’ve been in your home for a while, the first, easiest, and least expensive improvement to make is with the lighting. McKinley has seen way too many homes with a single light fixture in the center of the kitchen. “This can be hazardous to your health! By simply adding lights under cabinets or around the periphery of the kitchen, homeowners are amazed at the difference it can make; even in a small kitchen.” The other half of the lighting comfort equation is glare. McKinley says, “As we age, glare becomes increasingly problematic. One strategy to mitigate glare is to choose your kitchen countertop wisely. Quartz and some other popular choices contribute to the problem, while countertops with a matte finish will reduce glare.”
