The Perry Adu is a 1,085 sq ft carriage home designed with a compact 36 ft 7 in wide by 32 ft deep footprint, optimized for accessory dwelling unit applications or rental income property. This two-story design prioritizes vertical utility, dedicating the entire 896 sq ft ground level to a 2-car garage and storage, while elevating all living quarters to the second floor for improved privacy and views.
The second-level floor plan encompasses 926 sq ft, organized around an open-concept core that integrates a kitchen with an island and a keeping room. This level hosts the primary suite, which includes walk-in closet storage, alongside a secondary bedroom and a dedicated home office or study. A 54 sq ft deck extends the living space outdoors, providing a transition zone for natural ventilation and light penetration.
Structural integrity is defined by 2x6 wall framing and a 10:12 roof pitch, which contributes to an overall building height of 29 ft 7 in. The first floor features 10-foot ceilings, enhancing the scale of the garage area, while the second floor maintains 9-foot ceilings throughout the living spaces to maintain a consistent interior volume. The structure is supported by a slab foundation, minimizing maintenance and simplifying site preparation.
The layout includes a 54 sq ft covered front porch, providing a protected entry point that differentiates the upper-level living area from the lower garage entrance. This architectural configuration maximizes usable interior square footage while maintaining a small lot footprint, making it a practical choice for multi-generational housing or flexible work-from-home arrangements.
