Inside, two first-floor bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings, complemented by a functional L-shaped kitchen, adjacent dining area, and an impressive 12’x18’ living space. As our most affordable ADU option, The Cothard proves that thoughtful design and classic craftsmanship can be both beautiful and attainable.
