This traditional-style Vermont build wears board-and-batten siding outside and pine clapboards inside, and it solves the small-footprint sleeping problem twice over. At just 192 square feet (8×24) it still fits a twin-sized downstairs bedroom — no ladder required — plus a 7×7 loft positioned in the middle of the house with access from both sides.
A centre loft is an unusual choice and a smart one: putting it mid-span rather than at one end keeps headroom at both ends of the home and gives two routes up. The rest is a compact living area, a kitchen with butcher block countertops, and a bathroom that can run on- or off-grid depending on where you put it. Built in 2021.
Editor’s note: this home was listed at $45,000 in Waitsfield, Vermont in 2022 and has sold. Current listings are linked below.

Why a Centre Loft Works
- Mid-span placement preserves headroom at both ends. An end loft compresses one half of the house; a central one leaves full height either side.
- Access from both sides is a safety feature. Two routes up mean the loft is never a dead end.
- A downstairs bedroom in 192 sq. ft. is a real achievement. Most builds this small surrender the ground floor entirely to living space.
- On- or off-grid bathrooms keep options open. A build that works either way does not lock you into a serviced site.
