This is one of the best tiny homes I’ve seen over the years! One of the top 2 or 3. *Very nice!*

Beautiful home all throughout. Very classy.

So smart to downsize in living and financially! Since you made the shift earlier in your retirement, you will have so much more peace of mind - worth a lot including your health. Thank you for the tour.

Your home is cozy and I love that you get a covered carport. Not many tiny home communities have that option or even a paved driveway. The screened in porches are great also. 👍

The more I watch these the more I want to move with my daughter in one. The American dream with a big house and white picket fence is nothing but stress and no freedom to live.

The woodwork and trim on the cabinets, carport, porches, shed all look very high quality and beautiful. The driveway is awesome. I love it all.

Your home is perfect for just about anyone. Kudos for cutting way back and making this smaller space shine! Thanks for giving us a peek...

This is by far my most favorite tiny home - great decorating too.

I love this tiny home. Great layout, flow, feel, light, and design. It's so great that tiny homes can be so varied and so different. Such an array of wonderful homes available. Just goes to show that tiny homes can be customised to suit anyone looking to downsize. No matter the style, size, cost & amenities included.

I love this!! That kitchen is great. You can save a lot of steps when all you have to do is pivot to maneuver around the room. Two porches are to die for, not to mention the shed and carport. The one thing I can't get past is not having my own yard with a privacy fence. As someone who is and always will be a dog owner, I've had to take my babies out in the middle of the night a jillion times over the years. I've always done this in my nightgown thanks to my privacy fence.

So nice to see cozy furniture and I love the fall colors Orange, gold& brown

I feel like now there's so many builders making little towns and communities that it's going to get expensive again to even own a tiny home.

What a great layout with some very attractive architectural details that compliment the homeowners traditional tastes quite well. It's a great layout that offers two porches, especially given that this home is located in FL. Yet another tiny home that would be turnkey for me!
