Hi-- this is a 504 sq. ft. ADU in the rear yard of a small house on a 6000 sq. ft. lot. Windows on two sides face south-west and south east. The building was stripped down to bare lumber about 3 years ago and completely re-built with new windows, new siding, new insulation, new doors, and new interior bathroom and kitchen. The bedroom is in the south end. Outside the bedroom on the south end is a pleasant and very private patio. A large combination room is in the middle, and the washer/dryer and large bathroom are in the north. The building is very energy efficient. The tenant in the front house has flowers planted everywhere. She also has two small dogs. There's a 6x8 shed for storage, with hooks for up to three bikes. The house is one block from Bay and Mission Street for bus connections. The utilities are electricity and water. The building was converted to an ADU about 3 years ago. It has all new double-pane windows, new insulation, new doors. The hot water heater is a heat pump, and the space heating is also by heat pump. Previous tenants have said the utilities were low.
