<br /> When Walt Drake decided to downsize, his son Scott
<br /> purchased his dad's house for himself and his family and DN ® ri
<br /> built a detached ADU (or DADU) for Walt.
<br /> ;CREEN ���
<br /> "From not finding what we wanted for Dad,we decided "
<br /> to create it,"says Scott."Neighborhoods built in the
<br /> 1920s have carriage houses. Building an ADU was a
<br /> modern day version of something people have been
<br /> doing on their property in this area for a hundred years." r \
<br /> NEAR AND FAR:"We wanted the houses to be
<br /> BEDROOM BATHROOM
<br /> separate and to feel like we're each on our own .&
<br /> property, but we're there for each other,"says Scott. /Y\-/Y)

<br /> AGING-FRIENDLY:Building the ADU meant Walt
<br /> didn't have to leave his home and neighborhood."He u I 1
<br /> was able to keep his own stuff and turn over what he LIBRARY LIVING ,
<br /> II /
<br /> didn't need to us,"says Scott."It kept my dad in place, NICHE ® r
<br /> which I think was important."
<br /> FUTURE PLANS:Scott says the ADU is"serving its y
<br /> intended purpose"but that someday down the road it
<br /> could be used as a long-or short-term rental."The ADU
<br /> could turn into lots of different things over the course _ mi
<br /> of its lifetime." $IT N, ,1
