One Story

A Carlsbad couple decided to build their dream ADU in their backyard, creating a perfect living space for themselves. By downsizing into the ADU, the couple plans to generate rental income by leasing their primary home. This 1200 sqft custom unit is designed to meet their every need, making it a true forever home.

The centerpiece of this ADU is the spacious custom kitchen, featuring an eat-in island with a sink and an extra-large capacity fridge. The homeowners prioritized ample space for cooking and food prep, making the kitchen a focal point for functionality and style.

The ADU includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing flexibility and comfort. The primary suite is particularly luxurious, with a double vanity that includes a lowered makeup area, and a stunning tiled shower with glass doors. The bedroom also has a sliding glass door, allowing natural light to flood the space and providing easy access to the outdoors.
