English term or phrase: opportunities
The phrase comes from here:
https://www.raywhite.com/qld/bridgeman-downs/1265864/

This is a home that would lend itself to a multitude of living and working opportunities, from a blended or combined family arrangement, parental accommodation and/or work from home business, all variables having choice of access to the home without compromising the main residence.

What does "opportunities" mean here? Does the word “opportunities” mean development/construction opportunities, or merely mean existing spaces’ use options (such as, use some versatile rooms as combined family arrangements, parental accommodation…) ?

Thank you for your help!

Explanation:
Opportunity means a time or set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something.

So, this home makes possible for you to live and work in many ways. These are blended or combined family arrangement, parental accommodation and/or work from home business.

It does not mean development/construction opportunities in that sense.
