Garage
When I bought this house the garage and driveway size had definately taken a much lower priority than wheelchair accessibility inside and rolling in/out the front door. This one there were no steps from the driveway thru the front door and the hallway was wider than most (wide enough for a wheel chair.)

It was more accessible than anything else we looked at. And we looked at a LOT of houses. One of only two houses we looked at that were listed as accessible had a fully accessible bedroom with roll in shower, wheelchair toilet, sink, and desk. Problem with it was steps to get in/out that couldn't be remodeled into a ramp (no room). The kitchen table was a booth. The accessible room had a sliding glass door to go outside, but it was 2 steps down to get out the door? The other one had rails put in a bathroom and the hallway as too narrow to fit an adult in a wheelchair to get to that bathroom. It also had steps to get in an out of the house.

With all the older people being taken care of, If you want to sell a house really fast, make it truely wheelchair accessible.
