Thats exactly how I make my tiny 480 square foot house feel big, with outside spaces. I add to my house every year with tax return money. I built my 16'x24' tiny house on my families 30 acres in a sugar cane field. I have added a 16'x24' attached screen in porch on the rear, then a 16'x24' carport to that, then on the side of the house a 12'x24' shed, then I attached to my carport a 16'x33' covered fire pit awning, then a 16'x6' fence from my house to shed and 45' fence from my shed to parallel my porch and carport making a 31'x48' courtyard with the backyard view to the sugar cane field and woods open with no fence. Its all about porches, decks, awnings, fire pits, outside kitchens. All this makes a tiny house much more useable. Especially for guests. I have about 12 friends over all winter about 2 Saturdays a month to hangout by the fire pit and enjoy some brews, wine, and either BBQ or gumbo.
If I had the money or I would just add over time every year adding one project the only 4 things I would have done differently 1) cement slab with house on cinder blocks at least 3' off ground for easy under house working or if I had the money I would have gone about 8' off ground to have double the footprint to have 2 car garage and screened in porch underneath 2) all desks would be covered 3) fire pit area would have a covered U shaped covered pergola so enjoying the fire pit you and your guest could be in the shade 4) its about 16' tall so I would have made the bedroom on a second floor and had below it a laundry/linen/utility/pantry room where the bedroom is now. And the cover over the deck would also be a second story deck off the bedroom.
This is far from tiny. It's a perfrctly sized and beautifully designed home. Breathtaking and effortlessly decorated. Kudos to the architect! VERY HIGH QUALITY.
25 less square ft and I wouldn't even need a permit to build this on my property. my downstairs is 400sqft and barely fits a 7ft pool table. this is just well thought out space usage
@@rondodson5736 About the same price as a 3 bedroom 1,000 sq ft bungalow with a full basement , that would have been money well spent building horizontal space vs vertical space that you can't use, vs this 1 bedroom shack you can barely move in do you really think you need 25' ceilings for the heat to go up into and high end materials in this 1 bedroom shack you can barely fit furniture in?
I follow several tiny home channels and have done for years. We all have our favorites, but this one just elevated my senses in every way. It's elegant, cohesive and feels so expansive. I think this home is my favorite ever. If I could just transport home to Montana. Wow. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is perfection! The location, the beautiful furnishings and overall decor choices, are stunning, without making it feel cramped. The outdoor spaces give a luxurious feel to the home, but don't overwhelm the natural beauty. Love your tours! This one is a winner!
This might be one of my favorite tiny homes I've ever seen. Whoever designed this deserves a hug lol. I love the consideration to place large windows throughout for natural light, full size appliances, warm and neutral earth colors materials, huge bedroom with lots of light, the amazing patio wrap around patio that can be accessed from two areas of the home. The huge tub and skylight above the best surprise because I had anticipated that the bathroom would lack that feature considering most tiny homes sacrifice a tub to save space. Well done. Is there a washing machine/dryer?
I know!!!! I love my tiny house but wish I had a bathtub....my shower is gorgeous but I'm a bather as a shower is a chore and bathing is just so relaxing. I got myself one for outdoors but as I am in Canada it is only the summer season when I use it.
Agree. It seems to be a thing in American and Canadian design, and I’m always baffled as to why. It just doesn’t make sense ergonomically (or aesthetically imo).
So beautiful. Love that the bathroom has a tub/shower combo. Looks like a mix between a shipping container & barndominium home. Perfect. Would be neat to see how a second bedroom could be added by choosing a bit bigger layout
A tiny house is 400sqft or less. That is the industry standard. A THOW has .measurement restrictions because they are built on trailers with the ability to travel. Can't really be compared to a tiny house on a foundation...... where you can casually decide to add an extra bedroom.
This is the most bloody amazing ‘tiny house’ I’ve seen. I’ve been watching & researching places for years, but this one wins the award for the most spacious, liveable & luxurious place I have stumbled across. I am in love ❤
That's because of the high ceilings. They could probably fit +1000 sqft inside of it with 2 floors and lower ceilings. Not sure it still counts as "tiny" house.
Like people have said, the shower/tub wet room combo made me go “huh! Genius!” I also loved the walnut, green and gold designs. The whole place is absolutely beautiful and a really clever design. Definitely one of the best places yet!
That kind of layout, a tub in the shower room is typical Japanese style bathroom. The designer might take trip to Japan and stay at a hotel with such a bathroom.
@@sirmione905I think the tub is usually built in and rectangular instead of freestanding. This setup is going to be a little difficult to clean around.
Stunning! I have looked and dreamed 1000s of tiny and small homes. This is airy and calming, enough leg room and lack of knee bangers to feel like a permanent sanctuary. Of course, the natural beauty and privacy increase its beauty tenfold. I'd move in in a second.
As an owner of an 864 sq. ft. prairie ranch 2 bed 1 bath house originally built in 1945, I am a fan of smaller homes. This 525 sq. ft. beauty is a stunner - wonderfully and thoughtfully designed and decorated. As a small vacation home it’s perfect, and if done with a couple hundred more sq. ft. it would probably suit the majority of people needing another bedroom or office space. For the more minimalist it could be their permanent home.
This is a normal size home for many in Europe for a couple. The space could be furnished so it becomes more versatile and functional if you have guests. Plenty of space.
Same here. I own an 864 sq ft ranch, 3 bedroom 1 bath built in 1951. Our mortgage is smaller and overall cost of ownership is less than many others. This house is amazing.
Agreed -- The only thing I would do different design-wise is forgo the 'dinner table' and make that a small kitchen island with two backless stools. Other than that the flow is amazing.
Nice little spot! Love that sliding wood door inside and the custom oak table in the kitchen. The owners did a great job with the overall decor. Very cozy looking 😊
I wish there was a way to get a breakdown for materials. This is my favorite house I've ever seen the way it's decorated, the aesthetic, all of the touches, all of it, I love it. Customizing the blueprint for my own place, and am pouring over this video to try and match the design of this. Thank you so much for posting this, truly!
I LOVED this one! Just what I’ve been looking for-a beautiful two person stay in Hocking Hills. That layout makes it so special! Thanks for sharing Levi.
Awesome plan...Needs a square rolling center island with a matching stone overhang off the ends & one side where you will expand the usable counter space, under cabinet space & could squeeze 4 thin-profile low backed bar stools under... put an outlet in the floor under the island & wire the island & you have appliance functionality if desired...
This home is absolutely beautiful. We all love seeing these gorgeous floor plans come together. But the main question that we always have that never seems to be mentioned in these videos, is the approx cost of a home like this. Without the land.
For a variety of reasons these all have a very high cost per square foot. They are custom built, not cheap tract homes. The builder still has many fixed costs per building site that do not change just because the house is small. Most owners of land like this will opt for two or three times this size because once you get past all the other build expenses, it doesn’t cost mad money to just go with a larger house and hardly changes your monthly mortgage payment. The other part of real life is that most people have more stuff, kids, guests and would use more space.
I can tell you my house is also 525sqft and it’s around $700 per sqft. They aren’t cheap just because they’re smaller. Can depend on locations, trim levels, etc. things like decks, fences, concrete patios, etc add up too.
My own home is only 1100 sq ft (by choice). So this is half the size. I absolutely love this place, whoever designed this did it perfectly. Those of us prefer smaller homes know they can feel amazing when designed and upgraded properly. Very nice
This is a lovely tiny home. Exactly what my husband and I have been looking for. Love the kitchen, hugh windows that brings in the natural light, the high ceilings to the big bathroom its all amazingly beautiful.The outdoor patio is beautiful too!! I’m in love with this tiny home.
There's a tiny house community south of us in Flat Rock NC. Not only were the houses overpriced, IMO, you didn't own your own land, there was a pricey HOA, and zoning was so backward you couldn't roof over a deck or make any modifications at ALL on "your" home. We ended up in a manufactured house on our own land where we COULD do modifications.. and saved enough on the house that we could afford to! And we have almost 1400 sq. ft. of living space. All on one level, no stairs.
Every inch of space has been utilized to maximize functionality and create a comfortable living environment. From the smart layout to meticulously thought-out design elements, this house proves that size is not important when it comes to creating a beautiful and practical home. It is truly captivating and impressive with its creative design. Congratulations on creating such an admirable project! I love it ❤️
I LOVE that love edge barn door. I have 2 barn doors made from barn wood brought here from Michigan from a barn built in 1896. But a live edge never occurred to me. That would have to be one HUGE tree!
Very cute!! Feels more like a cabin than a tiny house, very nice! I'd still slide a cosmetic parti wall between the LR and the kitchen for osychological separation (* not * a fan of Open Concept), lose the jacuzzi, add a fireplace and another awning for a car. But that's it, super cute!
I love this entire space, but I think part of what we all love about this tiny home is that it's set on acreage with 360° views and the openness works wonderfully there. Where many tiny homes are going, and where the biggest demand is for small homes like this, is as an extra unit (ADU) added on to a typical residential lot in a suburban neighborhood - where requirements dictate the home should be small. In those use cases, this home would not work nearly as well because everything is exposed and viewable by a neighbor. Also, the entry area and the deck with hot tub do not count in the square footage, but a municipality would count those as "footprint" area, so you would still need the required setbacks and allowances to add those spaces. Great home. I just wonder how likely it is to exist because someone with this much space around them is not as confined to squeezing out every extra couple hundred square feet to get to this size.
I'm glad to read some other practical and critical reviews. I posted this earlier, but you're so right and the windows would cause noise issues. This is a beautiful house and the ceiling height and windows are dreamy, but it isn't a well-designed house and could be so much more functional,. alas, it's built for very short-term living, so it would be perfect for a weekend! As far as long-term living goes, The TV and Record player by a heat source, stove is too big??? Bad design - situating the toilet in front of the door. I'm living in an old (1940s) 525 sq ft apartment that is very well designed. It has an entry hallway big enough for Nelson platform bench and overhead cabinets (5'x9) that leads to either the galley kitchen and dining nook (6'x8' with banquet and 42" pedestal dining table that very comfortably seats 4 and 2 chairs can be added. The dining nook sits between the kitchen and living room area (15x11). On the opposite wall, there is a back hallway leading to the bedroom, bathroom ( with full, deep tub. Not as big as the one in the video--which is difficult to clean around and 2 shallow bath armoire at 12" Depth) and 2 hall closets ( 1 closet can accommodate a stacking W/D unit). I wish my 10'x10' bedroom was a foot.larger, but as it stands, I can fit a queen bed with 2 attached side tables, a small lounge chair, shallow armoire (12" deep), it has 1 window and a closet. WITHOUT FEELING CRAMPED. There are 4 closets total. 1 bay window in living room, 1 window in dining area the same size as the one in the bedroom. Other units in my building also have a window in the bath above the tub. The takeaway is that while perhaps counterintuitive, small spaces ACTUALLY functions better with more wall/divided spaces rather than open-planned. This "looks" great, but my small apartment actually feels like small house!
I get annoyed with people who think a tiny house requires things like a composting toilet and only one sink where you brush your teeth and do your dishes. I just don't want some three bedroom two bath ecological monstrosity.
I believe technically a "tiny house" is something on wheels or that can be moved on a trailer (in one piece, vs a modular home etc), I agree with your thought...!
@@dontbeadogsbody3564 What would you call small and medium? Remembering there's also large. Then very large, huge, grand, mansion, mega mansion and more. This is just typical 1 bedroom sized living. No tiny home features or space saving cleverness. 300sqf is where things get tiny.
As someone mobility impaired I love this bath room. A tub for people who want a bath but the shower area in front for people like me. The turn on at the door instead of the shower head is great. Love this layout. Just need a washer/dryer combo and a dresser and it would be perfect.❤
He pointed out the closet that holds a washer dryer. What is missing is any coat closet or storage for boots, or off season clothes. Only the one small bedroom closet. Also no upper kitchen cabinets so no storage of small appliances. And costly to cover tne windows at night in more populated areas.
If you were going to live in this then…create a mud room entry with closet, forget the tub and make that a closet in the bedroom, and upper cabinets. I love this place
This is the original plan. Looks like they used the larger closet to make that big beautiful shower www.truoba.com/house-plans/tm-220/ If you went with a tankless water heater you'd have more room in the hall closet for storage. I think my only change would be I'd make the corner of the deck outside the bedroom a screened in porch.
I live in Canada and I'm from down the coast of port Simpson. I am at a point where I'm going to do my savings for down payment for home. I'm looking for something for myself for my retireme not too big and not too small. But elegant for retirement and this is the most beautiful home I've set my eyes on. I don't know how this could be possible for me in Canada. But it's so practical, it's so it's so beautiful. I love everything about it. I wouldn't ask for anything more with God's grace. I kept your post from my future. I thank you for sharing thit's amazing. Yours it's Rena Daniels
This Tiny House takes home the Gold Medal IMHO. WOW! Fantastic design and layout! Wonderful outdoor deck plan and the gravel sculpted grounds are a really wonderful way to frame the property and environment. A+++
Loved it, The tub in the shower was unique and cool in some ways but I would be concerned about cleaning between the wall and tub. It is tight and looks very difficult to clean back there, being the shower and wet area looks like a good spot for mold to grow. It looks gorgeous. Also, personally I might have extended the roof all the way to cover the hot tub area for function over looks. A floor plan with room sizes would have been cool to see on this one. Props to the camera man for making 525SF look so big, Thats not easy.
agree with the shower/tub combo. Definitely mold/mildew central, especially in the summer months. The camera work was well done. Noticed how big the living room looked in different shots. It was definitely tiny.
I really enjoy your channel, but what would make it even better is a discussion about construction, both in terms of time required and budget. This might include an interview with the owner, builder or both. Or, you could just provide what you have researched before hand. I'm sure some owners will not want the information to be known, but for those that do, it would really add to the presentation.
I Love it, a lot of space to walk around the bed and the bathroom is huge for a tiny house I Love this one. Especially for 525 sq feet that’s what I was thinking a little bigger than 350 to 400 sq ft. Perfect
This is fantastic! Love this channel. Thank you so much for featuring this house. I am downsizing and have been over sooo many floor plans and here you are showing me the perfect place. I love everything about this layout. It’s perfect for me! I have already sent this video to my contractor. 😊❤
The tiny house movement has lost its meaning. The whole purpose of going tiny was to save money. Most of these tiny houses are not much cheaper than a regular size house and are complete rip offs. Don't be taken!
I'd make it around 625sqft. side by side washer and dryer. Kitchen/living room slightly more space for table. Along with Japanese healthy tile in several spots.
Honestly, as a single person in my 50s, this is all I need. It's almost still too much space. I really am warming up to the idea of selling my beachfront home and going small (but in a gorgeous area...just not sure where yet). I'm embracing the green life in my old age. I just hope the future generations can have it as nice as I had it.
There's a lady you can search on TH-cam, retired teacher gets tiny home. She has these gorgeous ceilings and she had curtains made I believe they are green you can see it in the pic of her video. It's amazing she has a fireplace on her porch. Ranch style gorgeous
Definitely would utilize the wall space more for cabinets and storage if I’d lived in this house full time. For an Airbnb this is perfect. Love the views.
This house and spot would be perfect for empty-nesters like myself! Of course, I’d have to build a guest cabin for my daughters. Hell… maybe I need two of them🥰
I really love the idea of a tiny house, especially if the outdoor space is well thought out. I have a feeling this one would be approaching the price of a normal house though…
My tiny house cut off is typically 500sqft but decided to throw this one in at 525sqft. Sure it's not as "tiny" as some. Especially considering worldwide vs America. The floorpan was maximized and some techniques were used to make it feel and look a lot larger. No matter what you want to consider this, it was done well and made functional!
Typically, Tiny Homes/Houses are less than 500 Sq. Ft ( Although there is no set standard). Calling it a tiny home does an injustice to those that fit the criteria. Of course you can do so much more and impress with more square footage. Those that do fit into the Tiny home category suffer when compared to this.
@@LeviKellyTours and then saying loads of times too, particularly at the start. Almost like you were trying to convince people it is indeed a tiny house.
It'd be interesting to see how the bathroom door reacts to how the shower was placed. I would make the entrance near the exterior wall, to keep the steam as far away as possible. I think it looks great, however, I'm not a big fan of barn style sliding doors in a bathroom. I feel that my guests would appreciate it being more akin to a vault door, sealing out sound and stench LOL
That is the cutest most useable little house I have ever seen. I especially like the size of the bathroom with a tub yet! And the deck, everything you could need.
I absolutely really love this AirBnB! I would love to stay here if the price is right. Absolutely gorgeous! My favorite part is the swinging chair. I would give this 5 stars.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
they cracked the code with these high ceilings-doesn't feel like a tiny home, feels like a luxury 1bed condo. Also, the incredible porch adds SO much to the space, making this feel large. This is how a 'small' home should be done.
It's gorgeous! I love the architecture and the design aesthetic. It's also probably a $300k tiny house judging by those beautiful, high-end finishes they went with.
Good gracious! After years of snooping at tiny house designs, Levi you delivered this GEM! Well considered in all the ways. Love it, inside & out, what a beauty ❤❤❤❤❤
This small (not tiny) home is lovely, but I would take some of the outdoor balcony space for more cupboard space in the bedroom & other storage…maybe a little office space with storage. I guess it’s fine for a holiday home/air bnb, but I would be looking for a home to live in. There’s SO much land, so there’s room for a little more indoor space.
We had this company make plans for us. They were extremely attentive and fast. Thank you Levi for the tip and helping to make our dreams come true. You mentioned the couch being so comfy. Any chance you know the brand?
You did a most excellent job in your presentation. Thoroughly. From the numerous vantage points outside and in. The house and property is amazing and you brought every highlight open. I could feel the charm as if I was there myself. Great job! God bless you, your wife and your career.
What...you can't hang your own curtains??? I've never moved into a house that had curtains already hanging. And besides...the current resident may not like curtains...who are you to tell them they are wrong and that without curtains the house lacks enough points to be "Drop Dead " gorgeous in YOUR judgement???
It's perfect for an Air B&B but would be difficult to live in as a house due to the lack of cabinet / storage space, laundry, closet space, and room for bedroom furniture.
That bathroom sliding slab door has inspired me to do something similar in my own future Northwoods getaway. Just brilliant, what a beautiful design overall!
Very nice. It would have been useful to see an actual floor plan of the house. There were a couple of unfortunate details that were jarring to me: the sliver of cut tile at the top of the bathroom walls - should have ended on a full height tile. And the bedside light switch straddling the joint between the slats. It should have been located either centrally on the slat or centrally on the joint. But I know I'm just being picky with the snagging!
UPDATE - HERE ARE THE PLANS! www.truoba.com/house-plans/tm-220/

GORGOUS HOUSE! Thanks for sharing. I love looking at designs especially tiny homes to get ideas I may be able to add to my place.
If I had the money or I would just add over time every year adding one project the only 4 things I would have done differently
1) cement slab with house on cinder blocks at least 3' off ground for easy under house working or if I had the money I would have gone about 8' off ground to have double the footprint to have 2 car garage and screened in porch underneath
2) all desks would be covered
3) fire pit area would have a covered U shaped covered pergola so enjoying the fire pit you and your guest could be in the shade
4) its about 16' tall so I would have made the bedroom on a second floor and had below it a laundry/linen/utility/pantry room where the bedroom is now. And the cover over the deck would also be a second story deck off the bedroom.
It's lovely - for vacation only.

As evidenced by the price.

It’s bc it’s not a tiny home. 😂
It's a small house. Rather common in times past. It isn't tiny at all.
That's because it isn't tiny
Very low on closet space to actually live there year round, I think. Beautifully appointed.
The ceiling makes the house FEEL huge. Well done!
Finally a tiny house for those of us who can no longer climb narrow ladders and crawl into a bedroom.

Hello...how are you doing today?
Because it's not a 'tiny house!"
It's not classified as a tiny house it's called a 525sq ft home. Tiny house is under 400 sq ft. But I love it too!
The point of a tiny house is that it's cheap. This house would cost a lot ...
This house truly looks much bigger than 525 sqft. I’d give to have one of these built off grid. Absolutely stunning. Simple living.
That's because of the high ceilings. They could probably fit +1000 sqft inside of it with 2 floors and lower ceilings. Not sure it still counts as "tiny" house.
If you are in Missouri I’ll build one for you
Yeah the floor plan link says 570sf 🤷🏻♀️
it's because of the deck.
Yeah the deck increases the footprint very significantly.

I wish there was a way to get a breakdown for materials. This is my favorite house I've ever seen the way it's decorated, the aesthetic, all of the touches, all of it, I love it. Customizing the blueprint for my own place, and am pouring over this video to try and match the design of this. Thank you so much for posting this, truly!
massive cost for windows, etc.
I LOVED this one! Just what I’ve been looking for-a beautiful two person stay in Hocking Hills. That layout makes it so special! Thanks for sharing Levi.
Is this available to rent? I have been looking for a place in hocking hills to plan a mini vacation
Awesome plan...Needs a square rolling center island with a matching stone overhang off the ends & one side where you will expand the usable counter space, under cabinet space & could squeeze 4 thin-profile low backed bar stools under... put an outlet in the floor under the island & wire the island & you have appliance functionality if desired...
i'm manifesting this kinda home for my self in next 3-5 years
Beautiful home! Love that there's a wood stove AND a hot tub for those chilly winters! Thanks for sharing Levi!
The stove inside is gas.
@@lajohnson1967Gas is more practical but a outdoor fire pit would be easy on deck or on the ground.
This home is absolutely beautiful. We all love seeing these gorgeous floor plans come together. But the main question that we always have that never seems to be mentioned in these videos, is the approx cost of a home like this. Without the land.
Never do they give that, ever. not even an estimate.
For a variety of reasons these all have a very high cost per square foot. They are custom built, not cheap tract homes. The builder still has many fixed costs per building site that do not change just because the house is small. Most owners of land like this will opt for two or three times this size because once you get past all the other build expenses, it doesn’t cost mad money to just go with a larger house and hardly changes your monthly mortgage payment. The other part of real life is that most people have more stuff, kids, guests and would use more space.
I can tell you my house is also 525sqft and it’s around $700 per sqft. They aren’t cheap just because they’re smaller. Can depend on locations, trim levels, etc. things like decks, fences, concrete patios, etc add up too.
I really liked this home, especially the bathroom door. So unique. Beautiful location. Great layout. Spacious.
The tall ceilings, big windows, bathtub, all of it! This is a truly beautiful space.
My own home is only 1100 sq ft (by choice). So this is half the size. I absolutely love this place, whoever designed this did it perfectly. Those of us prefer smaller homes know they can feel amazing when designed and upgraded properly. Very nice
1100 sq ft would be a very comfortableand expensive 3 bed, 2 bath, hall kitchen balcony apartment in most of Asia!
This is a lovely tiny home. Exactly what my husband and I have been looking for. Love the kitchen, hugh windows that brings in the natural light, the high ceilings to the big bathroom its all amazingly beautiful.The outdoor patio is beautiful too!! I’m in love with this tiny home.
I really like this place. Looking to downsize myself, this would work perfectly as a regular home.
So Well Done!
Love,Love, Love It!
Thank you for sharing videos like this. Those of us considering building custom homes get lots of ideas from all the unique places you visit.
Seen tons of videos on this stuff. This is by far, hands down, absolutely doable. RAD. A bit small, but expandable. Rad!
There's a tiny house community south of us in Flat Rock NC. Not only were the houses overpriced, IMO, you didn't own your own land, there was a pricey HOA, and zoning was so backward you couldn't roof over a deck or make any modifications at ALL on "your" home. We ended up in a manufactured house on our own land where we COULD do modifications.. and saved enough on the house that we could afford to! And we have almost 1400 sq. ft. of living space. All on one level, no stairs.
Yes. "The market" is trying to find ways to make Tiny homeownership less attainable. Perhaps not intentional, but true.
Love that shower / tub! Never seen one like it. Lovely place Levi! Just perfect for a little vacation in the woods.
it is perfect!
Every inch of space has been utilized to maximize functionality and create a comfortable living environment. From the smart layout to meticulously thought-out design elements, this house proves that size is not important when it comes to creating a beautiful and practical home. It is truly captivating and impressive with its creative design. Congratulations on creating such an admirable project! I love it ❤️
I LOVE that love edge barn door. I have 2 barn doors made from barn wood brought here from Michigan from a barn built in 1896. But a live edge never occurred to me. That would have to be one HUGE tree!
Very cute!! Feels more like a cabin than a tiny house, very nice! I'd still slide a cosmetic parti wall between the LR and the kitchen for osychological separation (* not * a fan of Open Concept), lose the jacuzzi, add a fireplace and another awning for a car.
But that's it, super cute!
I love this entire space, but I think part of what we all love about this tiny home is that it's set on acreage with 360° views and the openness works wonderfully there. Where many tiny homes are going, and where the biggest demand is for small homes like this, is as an extra unit (ADU) added on to a typical residential lot in a suburban neighborhood - where requirements dictate the home should be small.
In those use cases, this home would not work nearly as well because everything is exposed and viewable by a neighbor. Also, the entry area and the deck with hot tub do not count in the square footage, but a municipality would count those as "footprint" area, so you would still need the required setbacks and allowances to add those spaces. Great home. I just wonder how likely it is to exist because someone with this much space around them is not as confined to squeezing out every extra couple hundred square feet to get to this size.
I'm glad to read some other practical and critical reviews. I posted this earlier, but you're so right and the windows would cause noise issues. This is a beautiful house and the ceiling height and windows are dreamy, but it isn't a well-designed house and could be so much more functional,. alas, it's built for very short-term living, so it would be perfect for a weekend! As far as long-term living goes, The TV and Record player by a heat source, stove is too big??? Bad design - situating the toilet in front of the door. I'm living in an old (1940s) 525 sq ft apartment that is very well designed. It has an entry hallway big enough for Nelson platform bench and overhead cabinets (5'x9) that leads to either the galley kitchen and dining nook (6'x8' with banquet and 42" pedestal dining table that very comfortably seats 4 and 2 chairs can be added. The dining nook sits between the kitchen and living room area (15x11). On the opposite wall, there is a back hallway leading to the bedroom, bathroom ( with full, deep tub. Not as big as the one in the video--which is difficult to clean around and 2 shallow bath armoire at 12" Depth) and 2 hall closets ( 1 closet can accommodate a stacking W/D unit). I wish my 10'x10' bedroom was a foot.larger, but as it stands, I can fit a queen bed with 2 attached side tables, a small lounge chair, shallow armoire (12" deep), it has 1 window and a closet. WITHOUT FEELING CRAMPED. There are 4 closets total. 1 bay window in living room, 1 window in dining area the same size as the one in the bedroom. Other units in my building also have a window in the bath above the tub. The takeaway is that while perhaps counterintuitive, small spaces ACTUALLY functions better with more wall/divided spaces rather than open-planned. This "looks" great, but my small apartment actually feels like small house!
This is the first tiny house that is both beautiful and not lacking space and functionality in any way. Bravo!
I get annoyed with people who think a tiny house requires things like a composting toilet and only one sink where you brush your teeth and do your dishes.
I just don't want some three bedroom two bath ecological monstrosity.
I'd call this a cottage or "modern cabin" rather than a tiny home. Regardless, it's a beautiful home and really well thought out. I'd live there!
Yeah, it's not a tiny house. But it's gorgeous!
I believe technically a "tiny house" is something on wheels or that can be moved on a trailer (in one piece, vs a modular home etc), I agree with your thought...!
525 square feet? Seems pretty tiny to me.
Exactly what I was thinking
@@dontbeadogsbody3564 What would you call small and medium? Remembering there's also large. Then very large, huge, grand, mansion, mega mansion and more. This is just typical 1 bedroom sized living. No tiny home features or space saving cleverness. 300sqf is where things get tiny.
As someone mobility impaired I love this bath room. A tub for people who want a bath but the shower area in front for people like me. The turn on at the door instead of the shower head is great. Love this layout. Just need a washer/dryer combo and a dresser and it would be perfect.❤
He pointed out the closet that holds a washer dryer. What is missing is any coat closet or storage for boots, or off season clothes. Only the one small bedroom closet. Also no upper kitchen cabinets so no storage of small appliances. And costly to cover tne windows at night in more populated areas.
If you were going to live in this then…create a mud room entry with closet, forget the tub and make that a closet in the bedroom, and upper cabinets. I love this place
This is the original plan. Looks like they used the larger closet to make that big beautiful shower www.truoba.com/house-plans/tm-220/ If you went with a tankless water heater you'd have more room in the hall closet for storage. I think my only change would be I'd make the corner of the deck outside the bedroom a screened in porch.
Love it. By far the best small House I've ever seen
I live in Canada and I'm from down the coast of port Simpson. I am at a point where I'm going to do my savings for down payment for home. I'm looking for something for myself for my retireme not too big and not too small. But elegant for retirement and this is the most beautiful home I've set my eyes on. I don't know how this could be possible for me in Canada. But it's so practical, it's so it's so beautiful. I love everything about it. I wouldn't ask for anything more with God's grace. I kept your post from my future. I thank you for sharing thit's amazing.
Yours it's Rena Daniels
This Tiny House takes home the Gold Medal IMHO. WOW! Fantastic design and layout! Wonderful outdoor deck plan and the gravel sculpted grounds are a really wonderful way to frame the property and environment. A+++
It's not a tiny house.
Loved it, The tub in the shower was unique and cool in some ways but I would be concerned about cleaning between the wall and tub. It is tight and looks very difficult to clean back there, being the shower and wet area looks like a good spot for mold to grow. It looks gorgeous. Also, personally I might have extended the roof all the way to cover the hot tub area for function over looks. A floor plan with room sizes would have been cool to see on this one. Props to the camera man for making 525SF look so big, Thats not easy.
I thought about the same issues you had with the shower area. Otherwise gorgeous.
agree with the shower/tub combo. Definitely mold/mildew central, especially in the summer months.
The camera work was well done. Noticed how big the living room looked in different shots. It was definitely tiny.
I really enjoy your channel, but what would make it even better is a discussion about construction, both in terms of time required and budget. This might include an interview with the owner, builder or both. Or, you could just provide what you have researched before hand. I'm sure some owners will not want the information to be known, but for those that do, it would really add to the presentation.
Wow what a beautiful little place .
Wonderful location too. Must be a delightful place to stay . ✨
It's lovely. It's an air bnb house though, or a house for serious minimalists. These cute little homes don't incorporate much storage.
I love how you were able to maintain insane house price in a smaller package. Great job!
This is absolutely gorgeous, Levi! I keep thinking I've seen it all with tinies, but you keep pleasantly surprising me! Thanks for sharing 👍
Wow. Very creative execution of this house, and a great video as well Levi.
A beautifully designed tiny home, with tasteful colour scheme and nice pieces of furniture. Love it.
I Love it, a lot of space to walk around the bed and the bathroom is huge for a tiny house I Love this one. Especially for 525 sq feet that’s what I was thinking a little bigger than 350 to 400 sq ft. Perfect
This is fantastic! Love this channel. Thank you so much for featuring this house. I am downsizing and have been over sooo many floor plans and here you are showing me the perfect place. I love everything about this layout. It’s perfect for me! I have already sent this video to my contractor. 😊❤
If you're comfortable doing so, please share the details as you proceed!
Super cool, wise use of space, high ceilings, and well decorated. This small home is a winner.
The tiny house movement has lost its meaning. The whole purpose of going tiny was to save money. Most of these tiny houses are not much cheaper than a regular size house and are complete rip offs. Don't be taken!
Price gouging mfkers thats for sure.
kind of. Its evolved. Now its not just about saving money but "minimalism". It quantity sacrificed for quality ie square footage
This! People really need to pay attention so as to not get scammed! A lot of these fancy tiny homes cost more than a small home!
Truth!
@@Forever-411You write nothing but truth!
I'd make it around 625sqft. side by side washer and dryer. Kitchen/living room slightly more space for table. Along with Japanese healthy tile in several spots.
That's gorgeous. It's the perfect amount of space. No fuss, modern and elegant.
I'm in love! I want this home! It's perfection❤
I want this house! Perfect for just me alone. I would consider a second BR as an office space. Great video!
Honestly, as a single person in my 50s, this is all I need. It's almost still too much space. I really am warming up to the idea of selling my beachfront home and going small (but in a gorgeous area...just not sure where yet). I'm embracing the green life in my old age. I just hope the future generations can have it as nice as I had it.
There's a lady you can search on TH-cam, retired teacher gets tiny home. She has these gorgeous ceilings and she had curtains made I believe they are green you can see it in the pic of her video. It's amazing she has a fireplace on her porch. Ranch style gorgeous
a beachfront home sounds like a dream though so I hope you find a a woodsy beach somewhere
Definitely would utilize the wall space more for cabinets and storage if I’d lived in this house full time. For an Airbnb this is perfect. Love the views.
No book shelves
This house and spot would be perfect for empty-nesters like myself! Of course, I’d have to build a guest cabin for my daughters. Hell… maybe I need two of them🥰
Best Tiny House I have ever seen. I live in an apartment that size, but the high ceilings make a big difference.
very well designed and decorated - love it
I really love the idea of a tiny house, especially if the outdoor space is well thought out.
I have a feeling this one would be approaching the price of a normal house though…
There is no magic in housing. You get what you pay for. Also, in these small houses, it is nominal extra dollars to make it slightly bigger.
Yep
this one could save you a lot using sweat equity(aka do a lot of the work yourself or with buddies & get it done faster because of the small size)
This has to be my favourite small house floor plan so far.
My tiny house cut off is typically 500sqft but decided to throw this one in at 525sqft. Sure it's not as "tiny" as some. Especially considering worldwide vs America. The floorpan was maximized and some techniques were used to make it feel and look a lot larger. No matter what you want to consider this, it was done well and made functional!
Typically, Tiny Homes/Houses are less than 500 Sq. Ft ( Although there is no set standard). Calling it a tiny home does an injustice to those that fit the criteria. Of course you can do so much more and impress with more square footage. Those that do fit into the Tiny home category suffer when compared to this.
@@ducking_up honestly couldn’t agree more.
@@ducking_up Perhaps it was my mistake to call it a tiny house in the video!
Congratulations on achieving both functionality and aesthetic appeal in your project!
@@LeviKellyTours and then saying loads of times too, particularly at the start. Almost like you were trying to convince people it is indeed a tiny house.
It'd be interesting to see how the bathroom door reacts to how the shower was placed.
I would make the entrance near the exterior wall, to keep the steam as far away as possible.
I think it looks great, however, I'm not a big fan of barn style sliding doors in a bathroom. I feel that my guests would appreciate it being more akin to a vault door, sealing out sound and stench LOL
I’m in love ❤❤❤ the details the colors, interior everything is gorgeous ❤
Hocking Hills is one of the most beautiful places to live. To sit out on the deck and watch the fireflies at night is so relaxing.
1:21 With the lens you're using, the tv looks 15-20ft from the couch... next shot is a side view and it's like 7.
That is the cutest most useable little house I have ever seen. I especially like the size of the bathroom with a tub yet! And the deck, everything you could need.
I absolutely really love this AirBnB! I would love to stay here if the price is right. Absolutely gorgeous! My favorite part is the swinging chair. I would give this 5 stars.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
FOUND THE FLOOR PLAN! 🏡 This is Truoba Mini 220 house ❤❤
Love the interior paint color. It’s an earthy green without being muddy and dirty looking. Wish I knew what it is!
they cracked the code with these high ceilings-doesn't feel like a tiny home, feels like a luxury 1bed condo. Also, the incredible porch adds SO much to the space, making this feel large. This is how a 'small' home should be done.
This might be my favorite tiny home I've ever seen. I love the open flow out to the deck!
Absolutely perfectly done. I wish i could own one just like this. I have to wonder about costs because the finishes are stunning.
300-400k from raw dirt build
It's gorgeous! I love the architecture and the design aesthetic. It's also probably a $300k tiny house judging by those beautiful, high-end finishes they went with.
500-1000$/sq ft + land seems likely
Yeah, finally saw it near the end….$317/sf
$317 a night to stay......Not $317 a sq/ft to build.......
Great layout. I would stay here. Live here! Nicely done! Thanks for another great tour Levi!
Beautiful! Love the openness and all the windows. Color choices too. Exceptional!
Good gracious! After years of snooping at tiny house designs, Levi you delivered this GEM! Well considered in all the ways. Love it, inside & out, what a beauty ❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful small home - and the landscaping around it is simple yet effective. It looks easy enough to add on another room if you needed one.
Glad someone here said small not tiny.
Loved this one - such a spacious, well thought out layout and I love the decking. I bet it was amazing to sit outside in the tub and look at nature!
This small (not tiny) home is lovely, but I would take some of the outdoor balcony space for more cupboard space in the bedroom & other storage…maybe a little office space with storage.
I guess it’s fine for a holiday home/air bnb, but I would be looking for a home to live in.
There’s SO much land, so there’s room for a little more indoor space.
I wish i knew the floor plans thats exactly what im looking for
We had this company make plans for us. They were extremely attentive and fast. Thank you Levi for the tip and helping to make our dreams come true. You mentioned the couch being so comfy. Any chance you know the brand?
Did you get a cost for slab and basic construction?
West Elm
We are building up because we are in a flood zone. Should be done by Thanksgiving and I’ll update.
@@heathermullins7419any updates?
@@heathermullins7419 what was the total cost breakdown
The American definition of "tiny" 😂
Out of their minds really.
This thing is 50m², I live in a 2 story 350m² house in Asia. It's small
The “rich” definition of tiny 😂
I love the high ceilings. It's the one thing I miss about my old apartment (it was a studio loft apartment).
You did a most excellent job in your presentation. Thoroughly.
From the numerous vantage points outside and in. The house and property is amazing and you brought every highlight open. I could feel the charm as if I was there myself.
Great job! God bless you, your wife and your career.
Except for the TV being way too high and no curtains or blinds on the bedroom, every thing in this house is drop dead gorgeous and very thought out.
lol tv is waaaaaaaaay to high!!! agreed
Yeah the tv is too high but you don’t need curtains on the windows if you live out in the middle of no where. But maybe for warmth?
What...you can't hang your own curtains??? I've never moved into a house that had curtains already hanging. And besides...the current resident may not like curtains...who are you to tell them they are wrong and that without curtains the house lacks enough points to be "Drop Dead " gorgeous in YOUR judgement???
@@TheCuriousCorrespondent Whoa bethy mc-wethy, your energy is, well.... Maybe have your morning coffee and Greek yoghurt with fresh blueberries.
@@suzanneparker1799 I guess I have watched to many movies with killer peeping toms.
It's perfect for an Air B&B but would be difficult to live in as a house due to the lack of cabinet / storage space, laundry, closet space, and room for bedroom furniture.
I think he mentioned the laundry behind the doors just outside the bedroom.
That bathroom sliding slab door has inspired me to do something similar in my own future Northwoods getaway. Just brilliant, what a beautiful design overall!
It's a great floor plan for a ST rental, but I'd need more room to stay for an extended period of time. Great tour!
Tiny home? That's bigger than most studio apts in Los Angeles lol. But for real, very nice. I would live in that in a heartbeat.
Very nice. It would have been useful to see an actual floor plan of the house. There were a couple of unfortunate details that were jarring to me: the sliver of cut tile at the top of the bathroom walls - should have ended on a full height tile. And the bedside light switch straddling the joint between the slats. It should have been located either centrally on the slat or centrally on the joint. But I know I'm just being picky with the snagging!
How can I find out who the Builder was on this home? And what was the cost to build it
