Can you suggest any links about this approach to staircases? I’m curious to learn more… Thanks!

@hmmm: it’s no joke! One of the most important decisions I made was to keep the two buildings (the garage and the “big” (800sf) house) apart. Some contractors I talked to just didn’t understand it.

But it’s so important. There’s no clomping around of the MIL upstairs or noise from the other side of walls. It gives each party the privacy (and dare I say it, the dignity??) they need.

Kent! So glad you posted this. I’ve been trying to find this since I first saw it months and months ago. I think this conversion is absolutely stunning.

75K and no more storage space…small price to pay to keep a Mother-in-law from living in one’s own home.

(oops. Did I just say that?)

Nice one. This small is well-maintainable too.
