Overview

Set on a corner lot in San Jose, this 983 sqft, two-story ADU is positioned at the rear of the property. It is fully separated from the existing single-family home rather than built against it. With its own street access, the unit gains real independence and privacy: independent space on shared land. It’s a placement that lets a growing family live together today, and converts just as easily to a rental down the road.

High-End Features

  • Full-Size Family Layout: A 983 sq ft, two-storey home with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms — built to house a whole family, not a single-room backyard cottage.
  • Heavier-Duty Framing: Upgraded 2×8 framing on the crawl space and second floor — stronger than the standard build, for a more solid, longer-lasting home.
  • Counter-First Kitchen: A single deep kitchen sink chosen specifically to maximize usable countertop space.
  • Privacy by Design: Frosted bathroom windows and deeper bathroom sinks — small custom touches that make daily life easier.
  • Built for Real Living: Additional outlets on dedicated circuits, so the home can actually handle a family’s electrical load.
