Hello,Another thought: For decades I have seen advertisements of "chair stair climbers". These are foldable chairs that sit on a rail by the side of a flight of stairs. A user brings the chair to the top or bottom of the stairs, unfolds it, sits down, and rides up or down to the other end of the stairs. This presumably costs a lot less than $19K, and additionally the staircase remains usable in its normal capacity.

Or that can use a converted closet space as the "shaft" for it, and would need a ground pit or mechanical room. Some can be housed in the middle of a staircase surround. Since it is for a common house, which would get much less use than say, a commercial bldg or apt bldg, a light use elevator made for home use might be a better fit in this instance. Check the links I sent in a previous response to this subject. ~Lise
