Jenine’s Modern Tiny House Project

Jenine Alexander my friend and nearby neighbor in Healdsburg, CA is building her second home with the help of a friend, Amy Hutto. I had the chance to stop by the other day and see the progress and it is coming along really well. They are offering it for sale and it will be ready by mid August and here is what Jenine has to say about the home.

We build for maximum energy efficiency with a passive solar design in combination with denim-cotton UltraTouch insulation. A light-filled gem with upper and lower sleeping lofts, Ponderosa pine ceilings, bamboo flooring, and a kitchenette with marble counter-tops. Includes high end doors and windows, featuring a 6’ glass slider and bay window. Full trailer hook-ups for electric, propane, and water. Ready to go off-grid with any solar, wind, or hydro power system. Bathroom not included but available upon request.
