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 " compromising " exactly mean here? Why and which characteristic of the main residence might be compromised?
Thank you for your help!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

affecting in a bad way (the main residence)
so,
"a multitude of living and working opportunities, from a blended or combined family arrangement, parental accommodation and/or work from home business"
can be carried out without the main residence being affected or impacted in a bad way,
so it could be about issues of noise, doorbell ringing, heating, comfort, individual space, family space, privacy etc etc.
With more than one entrance the main family home is not impacted if there are visitors/parents/clients etc coming and going to the other door.

[without] reducing the privacy of
The main residence is used for living by you. In case you also use the house for 1.work from home business, and 2. accommodation for parents, then the home (using the term from the article) would have separate access for 1 and 2. So, the main residence is not compromised. You will have all the privacy in the main residence, while the parents come and go, medics come to see them, or even when clients come to your work from home office.
Basically, it is highlighting the value proposition stressing on separate access.
