I wish it had been more common in existing US "detached" homes from the past century. We live in a city because of our kind of work, and we can't afford new housing- inevitably we buy or rent old homes. Laundry facilities are invariably located in basements. I broke my ankle four years ago carrying a laundry basket to one such basement. I still have difficulties walking up and down stairs. I have seen my share of modern homes and condos- I don't think I have ever seen this configuration, even in new residences. My wife and I are getting up there in years. I would be over the moon to find more US homes and condos with laundry fit into the kitchen somehow.
