Bill Kastrinos of Tortoise Shell Home is selling his 8′ x 24′ prototype. Bill is selling a partially completed prototype at a reduced price until January 27. The house though unfinished includes a separate bedroom, living area, kitchen and a bathroom with a built in shower. It is fully insulated and has dual pane windows. It just needs your own special touch to complete it and to make it you own.

Bill is asking an incredibly low price of just $5,800 but you need to jump on it quickly as it is only available through January 27 at this low price. Give Bill a call at 707-486-4320 and let him know you heard about it on the Tiny House blog.

This tiny house was a custom build and is a mix of our original Annemarie unit along with some inspiration from another design on the internet as well as many custom ideas from the buyer. It is an 8 ft. wide and 24 ft. long unit built permanently on a steel trailer with axles and bumper hitch.

The porch is 6 ft. long leaving 18 ft. of space inside the house, as you enter the house the fridge is immediately on your left and is a bottom mount freezer that has been lifted some for easy access, it is set into its own little area as it is seperated from the kitchen counter by a thin wall, counter top is solid maple butcher block with under mount small granite double basin sink and custom faucet all sitting on solid oak base cabinets running 7 ft. in length, at the end of the cabinets and just in front of the bathroom is an 18 in. wide set of book shelves/pantry with a custom ladder that fits in front of the shelves with rungs matching each shelf so it almost disappears when in place, ladder is easily removed with one hand and quickly set in place to reach either of the units two lofts.

Across from the fridge as you enter the house is a closet that matches the fridge in size and has a small storage area at the bottom, and two sets of double doors made to match the size of the freezer door and main door on the fridge for a nice balance, it has the bath on one side that includes an RV style tub with one piece molded surround to also include a shower.

It has a high grade porcelain RV style toilet to save room and water consumption and has a wall mounted sink, bathroom is in the back of the unit along one side with a “cubby” area on the other side at the same end, this area will be turned into a bedroom/sitting area, the rear loft over the bath and cubby will be the main sleeping loft and measures the full 8 ft. width of the house and 6.5 ft. deep, the front loft covers the porch and extends into the house over the fridge and closet area and is 8 ft. x 8 ft. and in this case used for storage but could easily be another sleeping loft. This unit does not include any overhead wall cabinets as the buyer will install her own shelf system but we could easily add more cabinets for another build.

The house is set up for 110v service and includes a 20 gallon water heater and wall mounted wall heater, no AC in this unit by request of buyer, but again could be easily installed.

Walls and ceiling are pine T&G beaded car siding, flooring is high grade allure traffic master floating vinyl that is glued at edges of each piece, this particular style is a hickory color, lofts can be whatever is desired, in this case carpet.

The porch has treated decking and vinyl post sleeves and railings, windows are all double pane, tilt in for easy cleaning and include two 2 x 3s in cubby area, one 2 x 2 in bathroom, 2 x 2 in each loft, 3 x 3 above sink as well as one 3 x 3 on opposite wall across from sink

Construction of this house is as follows: it’s built on a steel frame with two 6000 lb brake axles, has 2 x 10 floor joists 16 in. on centers with steel hurricane ties tying it to the frame, although the 2 x 10s are overkill they were used to get the floor system above the tires so the tires and wheels do not intrude into the living areas, sub flooring is 1in. thick, framing is standard 2 x 4s 16 in. on centers with 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 roof system decked before metal roofing was installed, exterior siding is lap siding painted and trimmed in custom colors.

The attached pictures were taken before total completion of the unit so there are some things yet to be done such as a little trim, bathroom door, as well as some kitchen items I mention below.

The house is constructed on wooden skids, it has 2×8 floor joists, 16″ on center with steel hurricane ties on each end of every joist, 3/4″ thick floor decking, standard site built house framing, metal roof, 36″ entry door with window. The house has two 3×3 windows as well as a 2×2 plus the window in the door on the lower level and two 3×3 plus one 2×3 window in the upper level filling the house with lots of natural light. The house is fully insulated with fiberglass in the floor, walls and ceiling, it is wired and plumbed like a site built home but set up with rv type hook-ups including a 50 amp 110v electric service.

The bathroom has a 32″ shower stall, full size toilet, and a 18″ sink/vanity
The kitchen has a small sink, fridge with top freezer, 45″ overhead cabinets, 36″ sink base cabinet, yet to be installed in kitchen and not seen in pictures are a two burner cook top, microwave and large toaster/convection oven.

The house has a 19 gallon water heater. There are some storage items already installed in the upper level. Also to be done in the upper level are finishing touches to the closet space which will include nearly 6′ of hanging storage, approx 2′ of shoe/clothes storage. To be added before delivery will be a 110v RV type washer/dryer combo, this will be set in place above the water heater as seen in the pictures of the upper level. Another item to be added before delivery will be a heat/air unit that will be installed in the wall about halfway up the steps leading to the upper level allowing air flow to the lower level, upper level or a mix.

Interior walls and ceilings are finished with a bead board pine panilling, lower level floor is a cherry finish hardwood laminate, upper level has carpet.

This is a trial run to test the waters on this design, this could be the first of many or the one and only, I am hoping for a quick sale and looking to move it out ASAP the house is priced at $13,750 with everything mentioned above. Delivery is available anywhere in the continental US for $2 per loaded mile.
