Ochoa thinks of her parents’ side of the house as a distinct home.
“Once you hit that door, you basically walk into a whole separate house,” Ochoa said. “They also have the open concept, and I feel like their side feels a lot bigger than it is because of that.”
Their space has a living room, kitchen, an office, and a half bathroom in addition to their primary suite. They don’t have a separate dining area, but they have a table big enough for four people to eat.
The entire home is also mostly ADA accessible, which may come in handy as everyone ages.
“All of our doorways throughout the entire house are wider than standard doorways,” Ochoa said. Their showers are also wheelchair accessible. No one in their family needs the accessibility at the moment, but they wanted the home to suit their needs, no matter what.
“We’re not planning on moving,” Ochoa said. “I didn’t build this house for nothing.”
