The Beckwith: Accessory Dwelling Unit
The Beckwith
A Sweet Small Home with Charming Ell Character
A traditional Ell-style ADU hearkening back to the continuous architecture old New England is so loved for. Purposeful design, an impressive exposed timbered ceiling, and handmade craftsmanship — all in a kit that ships nationwide.
Traditional Ell Architecture
A Small Home that Lives Large
The Beckwith ADU is a thoughtfully designed small home that packs a lot of living into every square foot. The extra space on the first floor allows for a second bedroom, home office, or whatever use best suits its lucky residents. Supported by an impressive, exposed timbered ceiling, the classic winder stair leads to a second-floor loft well-lit by a full shed dormer and with a balcony view to below. Purposeful design and handmade craftsmanship make this small home a sweet home!
