        "text": "A mother-in-law suite, often referred to as an in-law suite, granny flat, or accessory dwelling unit (ADU), is a private living space located on the same property as a single-family home. It is designed to accommodate aging parents, adult children, or extended family members. These spaces typically include a private bedroom, a dedicated bathroom, and living space. Depending on family needs and property layout, they can be configured as interior conversions (such as finishing a basement or reconfiguring existing rooms), garage conversions, attached additions, or detached backyard units. Setting your functional priorities during initial planning helps determine whether a simple bedroom-and-bath suite or a self-contained unit with independent living areas makes the most sense.",
