You’ll love it because: This little house channels a southern California beach cottage. The living room feels double the size because the to-the-floor windows create absolutely no visual barrier between the room and the patio outside. The two bedrooms are large, the bathroom is pristine and modern, the light grey floors add to the ethereal lightness, and the updated kitchen is bright and modern. And if there is any house in the world that is crying out for a Dwelled-out shipping-container-turned-tiny-house-studio in the giant backyard, this is it! Full disclosure: when I went to check out this house I ended up hanging out in it for an hour. I opened all the blinds, I tried all the original built-in drawers (they still work) and the pocket door (even IT still works), I even made a few phone calls. I could not bring myself to leave!

 

Here comes the but: Let’s be honest, it’s a small house two-bedroom house with only one bathroom, although the galley kitchen is the only room that really feels tight.
