2nd Kitchen in a Single-Family Home

I live in Michigan and I just bought a two-story single-family home w/ basement. There is a main kitchen on the 1st floor, and the 2nd floor has one smaller bedroom and one larger bedroom. I want to turn the smaller bedroom into a kitchen space. The intention of making the 2nd kitchen is so that it can be used by the person living in the 2nd floor bedroom. I will get a proper permit from the city to do this work, but I want to make sure that I can keep this home as a single-family home and not to be considered as a multi-family home after the kitchen is added. I know every state & city has a different zoning ordinance, but just as a general rule of thumb, what would be a safer approach to take when I plan the kitchen layout and functions/installed appliances in order to avoid the risk of getting this home considered as a multi-family home by the city? FYI, I'll be working on this project on my own as an extension of the current remodelling project that I'm working on right now, and I already have a plumbing system that can be expanded for the 2nd kitchen installed and also I already passed a rough-in inspection.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
