Seattle’s award-winning Bruce Parker/ Microhouse Architects, a virtuoso of small-house designs, was the premier choice for this backyard cottage when these owners became empty-nesters and shifted gears to a more efficient turn-key lifestyle.  This property is uniquely different than typical townhomes in Seattle’s dense in-city market. Here there are no shared walls, no towering buildings a few feet from your door, no shared access to your home or parking spaces, no adjoining decks. Here there is simply the quiet enjoyment of your adorable modern cottage, with low maintenance & operation costs and little to no HOA costs.
