2 Bedroom Casita Floor Plans: Spacious and Versatile Living

Our casita floor plans with 2 bedrooms offer a comfortable and flexible layout for families, rental income, or guest accommodations. At just under 1,000 sq ft, this design includes two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets. The open kitchen-living area makes it easy to entertain, while a designated dining space enhances the home’s functionality.

What is a Casita?

A casita is a small, self-contained living unit on the same property as a main home. As a type of ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), casitas offer a private space for guests, family members, or even tenants. Unlike some ADUs, casitas tend to include open living areas and flexible layouts, often tailored to suit the homeowner’s specific needs. These casita plans with 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are ideal for maximizing living space without compromising comfort or privacy.

Smart and Spacious Casita Layout

This casita layout provides comfort and privacy with each bedroom featuring its own ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. An additional door in one bathroom allows easy access to the common area, adding convenience for guests. The open-concept kitchen and living room create a bright, welcoming environment with space for a large dining table and optional kitchen island.

Key Layout Features:

• Two Private Suites: Both bedrooms have a full ensuite bathroom and large walk-in closet, offering privacy for each occupant.
• Spacious Living Room and Dining Area: The open-plan living area includes a dining space that can fit a large table, perfect for gatherings.
• Optional Kitchen Island: Add an island for extra storage and seating, customizing the kitchen to meet your needs.
• Customizable Doors and Windows: Adjust window and door placements to bring in more light or create access to outdoor areas.
• Optional Back Patio: A slider and covered area can be added to create a back patio for outdoor relaxation.

Is a Pre-Approved Plan Right for You?

Pre-approved ADU plans offer several advantages:

• Faster Permitting: These plans meet local codes and are pre-reviewed, cutting down on approval times.
• Lower Costs: Skip custom design fees with pre-designed layouts tailored to local requirements.
• Simplified Process: Pre-approved plans estimate much of the uncertainty in the design and permitting stages.

They are a great option for homeowners who want to fast-track the design & permitting process and reduce costs. However, it is important to note that pre-approved plans cannot be customized. They are fixed designs intended to simplify and expedite the process, but they do not allow for adjustments such as reconfiguring rooms, resizing, or adding custom features.

If you’re looking for more flexibility, this layout can be tailored as a semi-custom ADU plan. Read more about customization paths in our Custom ADU Guide.
