This compact, thoughtfully designed 750-square-foot plan is a perfect ADU, rental cottage, or downsized main home. It includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a welcoming 5-ft covered front porch that greets you with charm before you even step inside. 1
Open & Inviting Main Living
On the left side of the home, the living room flows directly into the kitchen under a vaulted ceiling—optionally finished with exposed beams to dial up the character and sense of space. 2
Bedroom Wing & Handy Laundry
The two bedrooms line one side of the home, each equipped with space-saving linear closets. They share a single full bath tucked toward the rear. A utility closet supports a stacked laundry setup—compact, convenient, and clean. 3
