Since then, the retiree has moved into the 613-square-foot tiny home in her daughter’s backyard. There’s no doubt it was the perfect way to downsize!
The family worked with various contractors to make their granny pod dreams a reality. They also furnished the tiny home with items from stores that build furniture for smaller spaces. And the final result was amazing.
Meredith and her partner also sought the help of Bruce Parker, owner of Microhouse, a company with expertise in designing small houses and customized backyard cottages.
With the help of Bruce and his team, they were able to build a two-story tiny home designed to complement Drew and Jacob’s house.
As tiny as it looks, the pod has all the essential parts of a house: one bedroom, two bathrooms, one living room, and a fully-furnished kitchen. The interior boasts a clean and minimalist look.
Living in a 1,300-square-foot home to a small granny pod required Meredith and her partner to make big adjustments.
It wasn’t easy; but as it turns out, to downsize was one of the best decisions they’ve ever made.
The pair is happy to be living near their family, especially since Drew is set to become a first-time mother at the time. It would be great for her child to have her grandparents within reach.

The granny pod trend has gained popularity among Baby Boomers in recent years as the cost of houses in metropolitan cities continues to rise.
We wouldn’t be surprised if it would become the standard housing for retirees in the next coming years!
