What is an Accessory Dwelling?
An ADU is a converted basement, attic, garage, or an additional dwelling on a single-family lot. It could mean a home office, home gym, or a backyard cottage, and it can also mean passive income and improved quality of life.
The culture of remolding has a sizeable influence in Seattle. The opportunity to spend a lot of money on a property that could use a makeover is never-ending. Rising property values sometimes makes house hunting feel like an excursion to the thrift store. But these old houses and some with a substantial amount of property can absorb people’s design, financial, and lifestyle visions. Sturdily built century-old homes that exude a unique charm are a significant visual of the Seattle landscape and worth preserving.
However, no matter how reliable and charming, old homes might not in their current state been that conducive to a 21st-century lifestyle. It is a predicament many Seattle homeowners find themselves in, especially now when families are spending more time at home.
It is not unheard of that Seattleites can spend quite a bit of time talking about modifying their homes. You are not alone if you visualize a home office or imagine a space on your existing property where grandma and grandpa can stay or a means to earn passive income, i.e., an apartment or vacation rental.
