Meet Don, who's living his best single life in his 3 m / 10-ft wide tiny house. He downsized from a large home after getting divorced & becoming an empty nester. His beautifully designed tiny house is full of creature comforts, lots of natural light, and a standing-height bedroom loft. It's been a liberating change of pace for him. Don loves how much more free time he has and how much money he's able to save for retirement.

Don loves how much more free time he has and how much money he's able to save for retirement because of tiny home living. It's been a liberating change of pace after downsizing from a big house. His 35 sqm/372 sqft tiny house features lots of natural light, a standing-height bedroom loft, and is full of creature comforts, like a full-size couch & W/D. See the link above for his extra-wide model by Indigo River Tiny Homes. 👉 *Watch the tour of an artist's tiny home/art studio:* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMypf7lpvZbSiqM.htmlsi=68mdv9onR0AO7f8y

What a beautiful tiny home which sure doesn't feel tiny at all.Workmanship really shows this was a great experienced builder with so many nice things out in that you probably wouldn't find in a smaller tiny home.This gentleman shows his pride of ownership and the love he has for his neighbors. The lake is a real asset as well. Just saying this intelligent, kind , thoughtful man will not be single for long.... A nice lady will soon snap him up and be so happy to live in such a gorgeous home l. Sincerely, from Debbie and Dexter-Dog 🐕 my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua 🐶 companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.God Bless and take care! 🏠🙏🙏⛵🐾🙋💕🤸🧗✝️🌵😊

To answer a couple of questions. Behind the couch is a large bay window. Also inside the French doors are internal mini blinds for privacy. As I stated in the video I give all the Glory to God as he helped me sell my original house in 2 days, helped me find the perfect builder, helped me find the right place to park it and for sure bless me with the worlds best neighbor. God is Good!!

This design really speaks to me - this is the nicest build I've seen yet. Builds that don't involve crawling around in a loft are going to become increasingly popular as these become more attractive options to seniors. Many thanks to Don for sharing this tour of his home with us - we don't always appreciate the courage involved in someone sharing their choice of living space, which is highly personal. I love how much Don loves his home - and how he gives due credit to his builder, Peter, and "the grand builder," God! Peter must be very proud of his work - and pleased with how appreciative Don is as a client - he mentions Paul many times. Lots of gratitude here - a very enjoyable tour, and inspiring to see how older folks are embarking on a new adventure in living!
