A Little Hideaway with Big Possibilities
Tucked away from the main home, this custom-built ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is the perfect blend of cozy retreat and smart investment. Whether used as a guest suite, private office, or rental opportunity, this project proves that great things really do come in small packages.
Designing for Comfort & Function
We approached this build with one goal in mind: to create a space that feels tucked in — but never cut off. Natural light pours in through thoughtfully placed windows, while clean lines, warm finishes, and efficient use of space make the interior feel open and inviting.
From custom cabinetry to energy-efficient systems, every detail was built to last and to live in. The result is a hideaway that’s low-maintenance, high-comfort, and full of charm.
Why ADUs Make Sense
Accessory Dwelling Units are becoming a popular choice for homeowners looking to:
- Host guests in style
- Offer independent space for family
- Create long-term rental income
- Add flexible square footage without a full addition
They’re discreet, beautiful, and functional — and this little gem is a perfect example.
Built for Now, Ready for the Future
Whether it’s a weekend escape in your own backyard or a home for your in-laws down the line, this hideaway ADU adds both personal value and property value.
