A Ranch Home Gets an Aging-in-Place Bathroom Renovation

 Recognized as a National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), Contractor of the Year (CotY) award-winner.

Ann and Jerry recently returned to Middleton to be closer to their young grandchildren. Prioritizing a single-story home for easier access as they age, they set a generous budget. They sought a house with good structural integrity, ideally 10 to 20 years old, in a beautiful neighborhood. After finding the perfect home in an ideal location, Ann and Jerry partnered with Dondi from Belle Domicile to design a luxurious, spa-like master bathroom tailored for comfort, safety, and accessibility. Dondi enlisted our team to bring this vision to life, focusing on thoughtful updates to ensure the bathroom would meet their current and future needs while maintaining a sense of style and relaxation.

Creating the Ideal Spa-Like Bathroom for Aging in Place

The original master bathroom featured a large jetted tub that was not being used much, a common aspect in homes from that era. To enhance the space, we decided to remove the tub and create a bright, spacious shower that is perfect for aging in place. Ann and Jerry envisioned a bathroom that combined luxury with practicality as they embraced the next chapter of their lives. The new shower is designed with their comfort and safety in mind, featuring a sturdy teak bench, a Delta H2Okinetic showerhead for a soothing water flow, and an adjustable hand shower for added flexibility and ease of use. This thoughtful design ensures that their bathroom is not only beautiful but also incredibly functional for years to come.

A Stylish Master Bathroom Renovation for Aging in Place

This master bathroom renovation artfully combines practicality and sophistication, focusing on both accessibility and visual appeal. Alongside functional aging-in-place elements, we introduced luxurious features such as exquisite tile work and a transom window that floods the space with natural light while framing a peaceful view of the secluded backyard. The glass shower enclosure contributes to an open, airy atmosphere, allowing light to permeate the area. A custom makeup station was designed for comfort and ease of use, becoming the bathroom's focal point. Enhanced by tasteful wallpaper and an elegant sconce, this thoughtfully designed station balances functionality and beauty as you move from the bedroom into the bathroom.
