Name: David Becker
Location: Ottawa — Ontario, Canada
Size: 420 square feet
Years lived in: 4 years in flat, 24 years in main house, owned
The original house is a 1,200-square-foot, one-and-a-half story house built in the early 1950s. When I found myself living there alone (widowed empty-nester), I decided that, though the house is not large, it was larger than I needed. I renovated the house and designed an addition that contains a studio apartment above an attached garage. I moved into the apartment and am renting the original house to a family. The apartment, though small, feels larger due to innovative, mostly built-in furniture, a cathedral ceiling, and generous windows. The rental income is paying for the cost of the addition and supplementing my retirement income.
