Easy Living Homes
Goodall Homes and Communities is proud to be the only builder in Middle Tennessee who is Easy Living HomeCM certified. What does this mean?
An Easy Living HomeCM offers features that make a home easy to inhabit and visit for all the seasons of life: first-time homebuyers, young families, career professionals, active adults and those living with temporary or long-term disabilities.
A step-free entrance makes it easy and safe to bring in a baby carriage, move in heavy furniture or invite a friend with a mobility impairment. Wider doors make life easier for movers as they move in furniture, for parents struggling with toddlers or groceries, and for those using walkers or wheelchairs. The sale and resale value of a home is enhanced when it contains EasyLiving HomeCM features.
EasyLiving HomeCM is a voluntary certification program designed to encourage builders of single-family homes, duplexes and triplexes to implement EasyLiving HomeCM features, which make a home cost effective, attractive, visitable and convenient for everyone.
An Easy Living HomeCM offers:
A step-free entrance with a threshold of not more than one-half inch from a driveway, sidewalk or other firm route into the main floor.
A minimum of 32 inches of clear passage space for every interior passage door on the main floor (including bathrooms) and the exterior door that provides the step-free entrance.
No less than one bedroom, a kitchen, some entertainment area and at least one full bathroom with designated maneuvering space, all on the main floor.
