Barbara - we have the same house!  Ours was also built in 1963. We bought ours in 2017 when my daughter had a young pregnancy, so that she and her boyfriend could live with us, but separate from us, and we could provide the child care support we knew they would need.  We converted the large laundry room downstairs into a second kitchen, plus they have two bedrooms, a full bath, and a large family room.  Upstairs we have 3 br, open kitchen/dining room, full bath, and a living room.  I never liked split levels before, but this basic, boxy house has proven highly adaptable and, with 1500 sq ft on each level, lends itself incredibly well to multigenerational living.
