In our current mid 90s house, we have a dedicated laundry room in our basement, right next to our utility room. Lugging clothes up and down 2 flights of stairs is a bit of a hassle, but I also like being able to run laundry late at night with minimal noise in our bedrooms. Also, if the hoses burst or if there's a flood, the damage is minimized to our basement.

My exact thoughts. If shit goes south and floods, better to flood basement rather than like 2-3 floors. Also if your like 70-80 years old then I understand you want to avoid stairs.
