Could You Live in a Home This Small?

Imagine living in a house that costs less than a lot of cars.  Forbes showcased some of these tiny homes on their website and I was amazed to see just how small they truly were.  They almost look like fancy utility or garden sheds, but they're not.  They are real homes that are actually for sale.

You can make this tiny Craftsman Bungalow yours for just $24,000.  It's listed for sale with The Tiny Smart House Company.  It features double French doors, a skylight...

...cathedral ceilings...

complete with a sleeping loft overhead that's large enough for a king size bed.

The Gypsy Coach Home Listed by Gypsy Coach.com will set you back $19,500.  This tiny Victorian style caboose is two levels and measures 16-foot long by 8-foot wide  It is constructed of tongue-and-groove-pine siding, dark red trim with brackets at the corners, six windows and a 10-pane front door.

Inside, you'll find wainscoting in the living room and hardwood flooring.

The Loring Home, my favorite style in the Tiny House collection, is an adorable light-filled bungalow located in Gragon, California.  It had me at the front porch. ;)  It's listed for sale by the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company and the construction plans are $695.  This home can be built for $22,500.

It measures 16-foot 10-inch tall and is 261 square feet in size.  It can also be designed with a sleeping loft upstairs or a cathedral ceiling.  You know, these cute little houses would make great guest quarters, wouldn't they?  They would give your guests lots of privacy for their visit.

Here's a view of how the inside would look when the home is built.




The Kanga Home is one of the more expensive of the tiny homes, costing $30,000 unassembled.
It's 196 square feet, and measures 14x14 with a six-foot deck

Here's a view of the kitchen and the bath  in this little home.

Well, you have to admit, you wouldn't waste your weekends cleaning house!  And just think how low your property taxes would be.   Could you live in a home as small as these?  How about with someone else, like a spouse?  Would definitely be cozy, wouldn't it?

You can see some pretty amazing "extreme" homes in THIS post.  One is even upside down.  No kidding!
