The 1-Bedroom Carriage House spans 1,404 sq ft of heated living space, exclusively positioned on the second floor to maximize sightlines and privacy. This structure requires a 46-foot wide by 32-foot deep footprint, making it an efficient choice for property owners seeking to add substantial utility to their lot without increasing the primary residence footprint. The architecture reflects a classic craftsman-cottage aesthetic, defined by a 10:12 roof pitch and a total building height of 30 feet 4 inches.

The upper level serves as the primary residential zone, housing a kitchen, formal dining area, and a large great room within its 1,404 sq ft layout. This level includes one bedroom, a full bathroom, and a dedicated laundry area. The 8-foot ceiling height on this floor maintains a focused, intimate scale suitable for an accessory dwelling unit or a private guest retreat. A 180 sq ft porch area provides an integrated outdoor transition space for the upper living quarters.

Occupying the entire first level, the 1,472 sq ft garage offers a 4-car capacity with additional space for a workshop or storage. The 10-foot ceiling height in the garage area accommodates larger vehicles or vertical storage systems. This configuration ensures that the primary vehicle and hobby storage remains separated from the living zones above, providing a clean separation between residential and utilitarian functions.

Construction specifications include 2x6 exterior wall framing and truss roof construction, ensuring durability and structural integrity for the carriage house profile. The design is optimized for use as a rental unit, hobbyist workshop, or multi-generational living quarters, providing a versatile solution for property owners managing limited space while needing maximum garage capacity.
