Introduction Aging in place isn’t just a trend, it’s a thoughtful approach to home design that allows homeowners to live safely, comfortably, and independently in the home they love for years to come. At Crawford Builders, aging-in-place design is seamlessly integrated into custom home construction, ensuring that every space works beautifully today and adapts effortlessly for tomorrow. Designing for a Lifetime of Living The philosophy behind aging in place is simple: build smarter from the start. Instead of waiting to retrofit a home after mobility becomes a concern, Crawford Builders incorporates forward-thinking design elements during construction. The result? Homes that are stylish, functional, and prepared for every stage of life. Curbless Showers for Safety and Style One of the most popular aging-in-place features is the curbless shower. By eliminating the traditional step or threshold, homeowners reduce the risk of trips and falls while creating a sleek, modern bathroom aesthetic. Crawford Builders often pairs curbless showers with: Non-slip tile flooring Built-in bench seating Reinforced walls for future grab bar installation Handheld showerheads for flexibility These features provide immediate convenience while ensuring long-term accessibility without sacrificing design.

It’s more than square footage or finishes; it’s about morning light in the rooms you use most, easy access to the places that matter to you, and a layout that supports the way your days actually unfold. As a custom home builder, we believe the best homes are designed from the outside in—starting with lifestyle and location, then crafting a space that feels effortless, personal, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Restoring a historic home requires careful planning and a deep appreciation for preserving its unique character and heritage. While there is no strict, universal definition, a home is typically considered historic if it's at least 50 years old and retains a significant degree of its original architectural features. Homes may be recognized as historic at the local, state, or national level, meaning they are protected and subject to specific regulations for preservation and restoration. We connected with Crawford Builders , experts in luxury home building and historic restoration, to gather seven key tips for breathing new life into older properties. The firm's leadership, including Kimberly Crawford-Adams, John Shepherd, George Hammack, and Terri Crawford, is presently immersed in a significant restoration of 236 Clay Avenue , a stunning 94-year-old colonial in Ashland Park. The home is currently offered for sale, represented by Christy Helton of Christie’s International Real Estate Bluegrass.
