        "text": "Adding an accessible main-floor primary suite or in-law addition provides complete single-level living, avoiding stairs altogether, but requires sufficient yard space, building permits, and a larger budget. Modifying the existing interior footprint—such as converting an unused main-floor living room or reconfiguring interior walls—is often more budget-friendly and contained within the home's structure. However, existing layouts can present plumbing or structural limitations. Homeowners compare these options based on their property boundaries, long-term care plans, and overall remodeling goals.",
