Ordered that the judgment is modified, on the facts and in the exercise of discretion, by increasing the distributive award to the plaintiff to $170,283.75, representing 75% of the marital property; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
We find no basis to disturb the court's determination valuing the parties' marital property at $227,045. However, in light of the substantial noneconomic contributions made by the plaintiff during the 19-year marriage, we are of the view that she was entitled to a distributive award of 75%, rather than 50%, of that amount. The plaintiff, who was 63 years old at the time of the marriage, cared for the defendant's home, worked as a salesclerk in his store full-time for four years and, when his health failed, provided round-the-clock nursing services. The record also shows that despite the defendant's very substantial portfolio of securities, none of which was marital property, the parties lived a remarkably frugal life-style. In addition to those factors, we have considered the plaintiff's probable future financial circumstances in light of her advanced age and apparent lack of employment opportunities (see, Domestic Relations Law § 236 [B] [5] [c], [d] [2], [6], [8], [13]).
