Jacalyn is a versatile garage apartment design offering 1,049 square feet of heated living space, optimized for property owners seeking an accessory dwelling unit or guest quarters. With a 30-foot width and 32-foot depth, the structure occupies a compact footprint while providing a 2-car, 820 square foot garage on the ground level, ensuring efficient site usage.
The first floor serves as a functional transition zone with 140 square feet of interior space and a 72 square foot front porch. Access to the upper living quarters is provided via a dedicated entry, leading to a second floor that contains 909 square feet of living area. This level houses the primary living core, including a keeping room, a kitchen with a walk-in pantry, one full bathroom, and two bedrooms.
The second-floor layout maximizes utility by incorporating a master suite with a dedicated walk-in closet alongside a second bedroom and a centralized laundry area. Ceiling heights are varied for spatial definition, with 10-foot ceilings on the first floor and 8-foot ceilings on the second floor. The 6:12 roof pitch contributes to the structure's 27-foot, 4-inch maximum building height, maintaining a traditional profile suitable for various residential settings.
Structural details emphasize durability and efficient layout, with the 2-car garage supporting the living space above. The design provides a clear separation between the vehicle storage area and the residential interior, making it a practical solution for multi-generational living, long-term rental income, or a private home office retreat. The inclusion of a porch expands the usable footprint for outdoor access.
