Remodeled Accessible Phoenix Home includes Roll In Shower
One of the most impressive features of this wheelchair accessible home located at Shea and 36th street in Phoenix is the well planned roll-in shower. Other universal design features include a no step front door entry as well as built in ramps to the back patio and the garage. The 17″ tile floors in the main living areas, kitchen and master bedroom make this handicap accessible home even more functional. Hallways and door openings are at least 36 inches wide in most areas of the home. Generous storage is right outside the master bedroom.
The bathroom also features a roll under sink and a tile counter top. Quality tile accents can be found throughout this accessible master bathroom which includes a raised toilet.
Universal Design and Visitability Features throughout
It is evident that the remodeling activity incorporated many universal design features such as the roll in shower, grab bars, wide door frames and hallways, tile flooring, pull out shelves in the kitchen, and ramps at the front and back doors. Another favorite feature is the roll under breakfast bar that looks out onto the backyard.
The backyard cannot be overlooked which is very accessible from the back patio door with a built in ramp. The 25′ long covered patio has a ceiling fan and a built in gas grill on the east end. Large shade trees create a relaxing backyard that also provides excellent privacy. A separate shed or workshop stand in the corner of the yard waiting for additional storage or use as a workshop for weekend projects.
A cozy and inviting gas fireplace finishes off the family room which is located right next to the kitchen in this open floor plan accessible home. Plantation shutters accent the front windows of the home, both in the living area as well as the front bedrooms.
