Floor plan for a 476-square-foot accessory dwelling in Los Gatos, California

In an interesting twist on a garage conversion, a homeowner in Los Gatos, CA, contacted New Avenue to add an ADU that could one day be converted into a garage if necessary.

A New Avenue designer created a backyard accessory dwelling that includes a bedroom, a bathroom with shower, a washer/dryer, and a kitchen/living area.

Here’s the floor plan.

The homeowner will be able to rent this home out for more than $3,000 per month, or they can use it for family and guests. If the owners decide they need this space as a garage later, it can be converted.
