- This is Seattle area’s first 5-star Built Green certified backyard cottage. Anna and Donovan Watt had planned to build a studio rental in the backyard of their home just outside Seattle. Their builder, Sean Conta, showed the Watts that they could build a 700-square-foot, two-bedroom cottage. Once they saw Conta’s renderings they decided they would live in the cottage and rent out the house instead. Read the full story here. www.houzz.com/houzz-tv/see-an...

What was the total cost for the build? It's not anywhere in the linked article.
contractor has added info in comment section of article
@@antny0314 I'd love to know the price of the build as well
Beautiful home thanks so much for sharing !!! ❤️❤️❤️🦩
@@annawatt that was a great read and really informative! thanks for that.
I could EASILY live in that home. I lived in an apartment that was a bit smaller, but was so well laid out that it seemed huge yet cozy.
This was stunning.
I love that it is all on one floor! I am 65 years old and beginning to have a harder time getting around. I want to downsize, but it has to be all on one, single floor. I can't have a loft, because I can't reach it. This house is perfect!
65 is not old. I am 68 and can go
up and down things with no problem. Keep moving your body
and excercise. Walk or go swimming. Cheap to do. But
if one leads a sedentary life and
does not get out and about and
moving then they will have joint
problems. Greetings from Switzerland.
I got a 14x42 cabin that I'm converting into a small house, one bedroom and one bathroom, no loft. You can do it.
My own thoughts exactly!
I just turned 46 and I think about stuff like that already. Taking for granted that I will make it to the age you have, but I think like you. God willing I'll make it, and beyond in good health.
A house with a loft is not practical for most people. Which is why this house is pretty good. And a senior citizen can still be active.
These are great videos. But it would be nice to see a dollar amount in cost.
It's Seattle. Whatever price you're thinking times ten.
230k to build with Targa Homes
Would vary greatly depending on location
I've seen a lot of designs and videos of small homes. Without a doubt, this takes the cake. Light, airy, comfortable, spacious and hip. Congratulations on a job well done!
I built a 650 square foot house very similar to this last year. My builder did a lot of the same things. Our design is a bit different, but we also used high ceilings and lots of natural light, a split heat pump and exterior wrapping insulation. I absolutely love my new place and it’s more liveable than my previous house, which was 1050 square feet. My new house is smaller, but feels the same size because we designed it so well. I highly recommend this type of downsizing if you don’t have kids or a big family. It’s a beautiful and cost effective way to live.
May I ask the price of it all in?
Fernhouse what did you spend and where do you live. I love this idea
You're so lucky to have been able to design your own home 😊 .... I don't like my duplex layout at all and never, NEVER, use my huge living room, LOL. BUT I'm AlwAys squashing myself into my tiny kitchen. Heheh, yikes!!
Even if you have kids downsizing is great 👍. I hve two kids, and we live in small apartment 60m2 , and its fine. Costs are minimal we are cozy and connected for now its functioning really well
Milica Lukic I think you are right. There is a lot to be said for having a smaller home with children, especially young ones. We raised our two children in a 3600 sq ft home, and it takes a lot of time away from being able to spend with them in maintenance. You definitely need help to maintain a larger home so that the children get the attention they need. Also it is easier to teach them that materialism is not important in life. We made a concerted effort to teach our that relationships, spirituality and helping others are the most important things they should focus on. A smaller home makes that a bit easier though. (I’m definitely blessed that my children, now young adults turned out to be good, caring, altruistic people!). If I had it to do again, I would recommend a small, well planned home. 💜🙏🏻👼🏻✝️😇
Absolutely beautiful. I LOVE that space was not wasted by hallways.
I love the diamond piers idea instead of using foundation, that's awesome
Wow, what a beautiful home. I think it’s perfect. Wouldn’t change a thing. I want one!
Beautiful home and I love the reclaimed cladding and enclosed outside space.
Absolutely stunning! I ❤️ Houzz and kudos to Sean for the amazing work he’s doing. It’s great to see a builder thinking this way.
Cozy and beautiful!!!!
Well done! The raised ceiling makes a huge difference. The simplicity, cleanliness, open-airy white walls, and natural wood treatments make this a lovely paradise. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Wow!, I have been watching small houses ,tiny houses looking for what I have in mind for my new home and this is exactly what I was picturing as my dream tiny home. love it thank you
I am considering building a home from 650-720 sq ft. This gave me a lot of great ideas. Wonderful home!
Now that is a great use of 700 SF! In fact, that's the "biggest" 700 SF small house I think I've ever seen (and I've seen a LOT of small home vids and articles). Beautiful furnishings & light, beautiful surroundings too. Puts my 850 SF apt. to shame!
This house is beautiful. I love your deck, and the reclaimed wood is amazing. Your design was well thought out.
What a lovely home. I wish that couple many years of happiness living there.💕
OMG I can't believe I clicked on this. I'm your former neighbor that just sold last year in the green house on the corner with the 3 little boys! EPIC!
yay!! Hi Heather!!! Hope you all are doing well!! :)
Wow! This is my favorite “tiny house”!
BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT IN SO MANY WAYS !!!! ❤️❤️❤️🦩 Thanks so much for sharing !!!
Love, love, love this, so simple yet stylishly practical
I’m in love with ur space! It’s so cozy & modern
Excellent tiny house
Absolutly a massive WOW! I LOVE this home. The style is spot on. 😍
Sean is the best! I know I am biased as his cousin, but this is amazing work.
Beautiful home
I really like that! The wood is beautiful! The french doors are perfect. The kitchen has lots of useable counter and storage space, unlike mine...thanks for the video!
Awesome job on this home!!! Green building is so much more healthy and energy efficient. I lived in a green apartment on the North Coast in CA where it's really rainy and it was amazing. I also worked in home improvement retail stores and learned from many customers that their houses were an expensive "money pit" that costs them tons of headaches and time. No thanks.
Lovely.
give this man all the business. Everyone could have their own cozy home with lots of green spaces all around. Why would anyone want anything else.
This tiny house is amazing!
Love the design here, functions so well!
Beautiful place
Beautiful home, truly!🧡
Like your videos beautiful idea. I love and appreciate all your work. I have always want an older home from the 1950's. Just a dream , but a beautiful 💓 one. Happy for you.
Just beautiful
Amazing...I love it very much
so simple & serene.
It’s a stunning little home. I love it .
It’s beautiful, good job! ❤️
This place is gorgeous 😍
Beautiful....I would love to have a small home in the yard of my main home.👍👍
Love your home... excellent job. Enjoy it.
Gourgoes Tiny House #Shawn !!! Love the wall of Windows and extra HIGH ceilings!!! "Nailed it"!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous !!!!!!!!
really nice home, well thought out!
This is very cool. I love this project.
This home is beautiful
This is a dream home for me...
Cute house and beautiful scenery where you live.
I don't own a house but I like watching houzz decors and the design is dope😎😎😎😎😎
Hello my fellow Shoreline homies!! Great house. I'm glad I saw this and learned about the builder because I'm looking for something just like this.
Oh I want one too!
Love this house! 😍😍
Its so lovely and spacious! Who could put a thumbs down on it?? Dumb
I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
Looks great! 👌😍
That’s beautiful 😍
Amazing! ❤
i love this house 😍😍
Looks great - don’t know how you can call that an apartment size kitchen, looks house size to me, yours must’ve been gigantic! Great job with the word features!
Wow this place is beautiful! It does seem larger than it probably is!! I have maybe 200 more square feet of house then this and I feel like I am cramped up!! Well, I am in the process of downsizing from my 3 floor 4 bedroom house with a basement into a 918 square foot house and have mostly everything in my tiny house. I really really need to learn how to make the most with the least. Kudos to all of you who are able to live the tiny house lifestyle!! Please please teach me!! ♥️😅
I was really inspired after watching Marie Kondo's "Tidying Up" show on Netflix! Also if you're having trouble totally getting rid of some stuff right awat, you can pack it into totes and move it into storage. Anything you don't miss or touch after 3-6months can be donated/sold!
Great use of space
Lovely!
Love it!
Love your home. I NEED those barstools.

Outstanding👊👏👏👊
This is a very nice liking little house. I cant really say it looks Tiny it actually looks quite big definately looks good i could totally live in that
In Mumbai ... 700 sq ft is real estate heaven
Wow...this really doesn't look small
Luv it!
I love this house
Beautiful home, but I'm in love with the dog. I want an australian shepard that looks just like that one. 😊
Aw thank you! You can get more of River, our mini-aussie here: instagram.com/riverandthelamb/
I Love it!
I want one !
I love this
I live in a 412 sq. ft. apartment, so 700 sq. ft. would be a huge upgrade. The $230,000 price is just right, but finding property would be challenging.
On the builder’s profile (Targa Homes), it says that the typical job costs between $225k - $350k.
😒😓😭
Its beautiful!! A perfect size but a little costly.
@@sharonwilliams5757 I agree it's expensive. An extra bedroom or two, would cushion the blow. It's not meant for a family of 3 or more. The expense comes in the HVAC system and the reclaimed wood, but if it were off the grid, that would've been awesome. It's eco-friendly, and will save them money down the road. One bedroom houses are scarce, and hard to sell, but this is great for a couple that has no kids or regular overnight guests.
Not much less than a full size house.
Maybe, it’s the norm for that housing market.
Linda casa...
This would be pretty much my ideal house for 2 person living situation
Perfect home. This is fantastic!!!! Where can I get one?!?
Fabulous..I highly reccommend reading more about this home and the couple that brought it to completion...I love your home!!
Beautiful space :) How did you find Sean?
Someone needs to build a community of houses like these in la.
OK...This is awesome. I kept waiting to hear how much it cost to build it, and that information never came. How much was it to build?
the perfect holidayhome or guest house :)
wow, love it, want one the same.
Hi Martha! :) You can build your own with our floor plans available here: www.targahomes.com/product-page/the-wattage-cottage-guidebook
This is absolutely beautiful. I would imagine the cost of this house is going to cost way more than a regular beautiful house in the suburban area of Cincinnati. If we could get a cost that would be great.
THIS is the house for me! Lovely, bright, comfy and planet friendly! Would like to know the cost.
is good to see that the city there allows people to build a second home in the back of their house...it is smart too, because if they rent the big house the city will gain in taxes....Unfortunately, not every city council gets people so smart as in this case.
It's not always possible though. With row houses for example, it would be dangerous because firefighters wouldn't be able to bring their trucks to the second house. So if the house burned, there’d be no way to reach it as easily as the first house. And even if there’s a back alley, often a firefighter truck is too big for it, or in the case of the city I live in, most back alleys are not plowed during the winter so it makes them inaccessible half of the year. Anyway, sorry to bother you with all of that, but I work for the urban planning department of my city and this is something that’s been considered at one point here. Didn’t work out in the end as you have probably guessed.
This house is absolutely beautiful!!! Even though I’m only one person, I would love this with an extra bedroom so visitors can have their own guest bedroom to sleep in and NOT my couch.
We do have an extra bedroom that could be used as a guest room but it is currently being used as an office. :)
Great Job...🤗🥰❤
P.S...
Suggestion:
I think for.... privacy....Divide The Yard Space...atleast give yall selves... a PRIVACY fence... ..so that they can enjoy some yard.....Privately As Well.😊
I so agree!! We built one right after this video so the yards are totally separate and private now!! :)
Did they mention the building cost? I love this house !!
Thanks! You can learn more about the project budget and our financial journey for how we funded the project here: medium.com/@annalynnwatt/how-we-live-in-the-seattle-area-for-500-a-month-in-this-beautiful-eco-friendly-backyard-cottage-d4e4b641c91f
High ceilings look nice, but they make the room hard to heat...
shirley A-z I agree. We have 11 foot ceilings in our living room and the temperature is always different in there and the rest of the house.
A ceiling fan would help solve that issue.
shirley A-z I absolutely love the concept and this house in particular, the only thing I’d question is putting the radiant heater on the ceiling 🤔 (hot air rises)
Do you guys work with New York? I wanna live in the back yard of my parents house with spending rent too save up on a house later on.
How do you'll charge for Utility when renting out the main house and what's you're utility cost while living in the tiny home?
I love this house is beautiful spacious just gorgeous. I’m wondering how much it cost.
