I do have a level of comfort at my folks place as it's where I grew up. Also I have a brother who is a contractor who would likely build me a newer home to replace the current one. I would do it out of pocket over the coarse of years and try to time its completion to when the youngest kid moves out.
And yes I would be happy there but when I drove past my current home (If I sold it) I know I would always wonder if I did the right thing.
