$48,750–$84,375 · planning range · 4–8 months




Purpose & footprint
- A self-contained attached in-law suite added to the side of the house, framed as an open interior view showing how the whole suite lives independently: a comfortable sitting area in soft warm linen tones with a slate-blue upholstered chair, flowing into a compact light-maple kitchenette with a slim counter, apartment-scale range, and undercounter fridge, a wide accessible cased opening leading to a curbless barrier-free bath with a light-maple vanity and integrated grab bars styled as towel rails, a private exterior entry door with a sidelite glimpsed at the far wall, wide low-slip maple-look plank flooring throughout for easy mobility, level thresholds and generous turning space, warm and residential rather than institutional, all trim and paint matched to the main house through the connecting door.
