Backyard Cottages in Seattle!

By
Real Estate Agent with Cooper Jacobs Real Estate Services

Do you own at least 4,000 square foot lot in Seattle?  Then you could have a second dwelling on your property.  It's just one of many dedicated Green Building Projects in Seattle.

DADU are Detatched Accessory Dwelling Units.  They're also called Backyard Cottages which sounds ... not so "detatched".  Backyard Cottages is a way to give more BANG for your BUCK by emphasizing the blueprint for your lot.  These create minimal waste (since they are prefabricated) as well as a short build time.  Super efficient and efficient on the pocket book too.  They start at $98,000.

Fascinating!!

I recall these "little houses" in Miami where the owners would live in "the big house" in the front of the lot and have "a little house" behind, usually for rental purposes.

Not so easy to do in my area.  Single deeded property is all we can get on most lots without subfividing a large lot for minimum square feed, set backs, etc.

I look forward to being there. These cottges can provide for greater density and add character to a neighborhood. Big boxy developments create over-crowding and shadows. Can't wait to see the designs.
