Our St. Charles backyard cottage includes everything one would expect from a modern home and we think this one is big enough for a young family with a child, therefore making it a great option to consider as a rental property too. This 2 bedroom tiny home ADU can be built with either one bathroom, an additional second half-bath, or second full bath.
This backyard cottage ADU can be customized with floor plan variations that include desirable features like accessible layouts, expanded kitchen and living room areas. With an expansive loft there is even plenty of room for long-term storage or even an optional additional sleeping room.
Whether it be a generous outdoor patio, or wheelchair accessibility, this 2 bedroom tiny home ADU offers the comforts you want in a permanently occupied home. As with all our designs, we can customize this backyard cottage design to complement the architectural style of your Alameda home.
