A couple spent $1.7 million turning their rental property into their forever home, designed with aging in place in mind
A retired couple in Nashville spent $1.7 million renovating a rental property to serve as their forever home, specifically designed for aging in place. The project addresses mobility challenges and allows them to maintain independence in their later years.
Why it matters
This highlights the growing trend of 'aging in place' renovations as retirees seek to adapt their living environments to accommodate changing physical needs.
Bonnie and Hunter Moore renovated their home in Nashville. Tamara Reynolds for BI Retirement didn't exactly mean slowing down for Bonnie and Hunter Moore. The Moores, both 71, have lived near the Vanderbilt campus in Nashville for over 40 years. They bought their home in 1983, raising their two children and building their careers. Bonnie was a proofreader, while Hunter worked in the music industry. When they retired in 2019, they were excited to have more time for their passions. For Hunter, that includes reading, playing the piano, working on model trains, and independent study (he's currently working on a dissertation for fun). Bonnie loves entertaining her friends — especially in her "Not Your Mother's Bible Study" group — hosting her grandsons, and traveling.
