Empty Nesters Downsize into a Tiny House


This post may contain affiliate links & sponsored content.

Twila and her husband were ready to downsize after their children left the nest, and Incredible Tiny Homes seemed like the perfect option. Not only could they have a professional home built, they could put it in the “Forest” tiny house community for only $250/month! Altogether, their monthly living expenses are under $350/month, which is just unheard of these days.

The simple home floor plan starts with the cozy living room and then moves into the kitchen space with an adjacent 3/4 bathroom. The stairs to the loft are at the back of the home, and have a sneaky “break apart” section so they can remove their washer/dryer if they ever need to! The dormer allows for some extra headroom and light in their loft bedroom.

The interior is all pine, with a loft bedroom.

They have a dormer on one side for light and extra space.

They added a couple of sheds, including this one for grilling.

Highlights:

  • Twila and her husband had raised their kids and were left with a big empty house. Downsizing to a tiny home wasn’t quite on Twila’s mind, but after finding Incredible Tiny Homes, she was sold!
  • They live in the “Forest” part of the Incredible Tiny Homes village. They have a lovely partially-wooded lot.
  • The living room is just inside the door, and they have a mini woodstove in case the fire goes out. A mini-split provides supplemental heat.
  • While many people dislike them, the couple chose a loft bedroom and enjoy the cozy space.
  • There’s a compact bathroom with a 36″ shower stall, which Twila thinks is the perfect size.

      Absolutely agree, Marsha. I love this so much. Reminds me of tiny houses of years ago: just what they need and nothing that they don’t. ☺️. Hope all is well with you.
