Building a quality ADU to code is especially challenging when considering construction access, excavation, utility routing, parking, and site drainage challenges. Built on a 24-0' by 24-0' footprint this raised 2 story is 1830 square feet.
Designed for low maintenance in mind, this ADU featured durable surfaces, stucco exterior, mono-slope metal roof, and tiled baths. Built to 2018 IRC with energy efficient cental air and heating.
Located just 2 blocks from Colorado Mesa University the property is popular as a Vacation Rental in the summer and as a premium student rental. The 3 level space efficient design featured an open rail stairway up to a loft adjoining 2 bedrooms and private bath. On the main floor the common living area included a living room, kitchen, combined full bath and laundry. The basement repeated the upstairs layout with 2 bedrooms and a bath. Grand Junction is a hot climate so 2 large windows per bedroom were provided to maximize cross ventilation and lower cooling cost. Garden level windows on the lower level provide plenty of light.
Especially popular with students was the large wrap around covered deck. Dedicated vanities, 1 for each bedroom was especially liked by the lady tenants.
With a combined 6 bedrooms, 4 baths, this property rented easily and produces an exceptionally high cap rate for the owner.
