ALL ABOUT ADU'S

BROGAN ROSSI'S ADU

Accessory Dwelling Units

When West + Main agent Brogan Rossi and her husband were looking for a new house, they wanted a way to make supplemental income through a rental in their existing home.

"Houses with mother-in-law units are few and far between so when we toured this one, the unique second entrance to a large room in the back of the house caught our attention immediately. When it was listed, this space was used for storage...but with a separate entrance, it had income potential! This project totaled around $15,000. We hired contractors to do the major things: they installed new vinyl flooring, built a wall to section off the apartment from our house, installed a thick private door for our in-house entrance, kitchen cabinets and sink, replaced the old bathtub and shower tile, and ran a new electrical line for the stove.

Then, we got to do all of the fun finishing touches: cabinet hardware, paint, new fan and light fixtures...and found the perfect renter!"
