Our largest house yet!
June 8, 2008 · Print This Article
Over a dozen new designs are almost here. Pictured to the left is the updated Enesti. Jay has added an optional bedroom on the ground floor. These plans are complete, and the new house measurers a tidy 774 square feet for the 3 bedroom version (ground floor pictured on top). When you purchase the plans, you’ll receive plans for both the 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom versions. The bottom picture features the side view of the house with the additional room.
The following five houses will all be updated shortly:
…with more plans to come next month.
I’m really impressed. I really look forward to seeing the new designs. After having built our own home (larger) and having lived in it for some time now have I learned that you can build more space, but you will alway be living on top of one another, what’s really needed is functional space. Remember the Sears homes of generations past
I think your really on to something, keep up the good work!

I have been visiting this web site for years and have liked most of the changes. I loved looking at the interior plans and pictures.
This most recent change with measurements instead of layouts is a bummer. Sorry but I miss the content.
Not enough information here any longer

Our new website actually has more pictures and more information than our old website. When you look at the page for the Lusby (for instance), down the left hand side of the page you’ll see thumbnails for other houses. There’s a large picture of the lusby. Underneath it are thumbnails of other pictures of the Lusby (both interior and exterior), and you can scroll through several pages.
The Enesti doesn’t have more pictures because it is in the process of being built. When we have the pictures, we’ll add them to the website.

That’s great Steve. I have followed your work since long before you appeared on Oprah and have been wanting for the longest time to see interior pictures of the Enesti. I really want to personally see the interior of one of your homes. Ironically, when you are in Mt. View this year (near where we live) we will be in Camp Meeker (just outside Occidental). By the way, when you are in Mt. View, if you have time before your evening open house at Google, one of the other great foot traffic places in Mt. View is Castro Street. If you could get permission to park your house in front of (or on the plaza of) the Mt. View Center for the Performing Arts, you’d get great visibility.

Sorry you’ll miss us. But you’re not too far away to come by our monthly open house in Sebastopol. Visit http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/openhouse/
Hi. I love your houses and hope to own one someday. Do any of your plans have a bath tub? That would be the one thing I would miss.

I believe all the plans larger than 400 s.f. have tubs. Most of the others would fit a Japanese (deep but small) bath if you wanted to customize them.

Jay,
Do you insure your tiny home with homeowner’s insurance?

I don’t. I figure that for what most people pay in homeowner’s insurance over ten years, my home has already paid for itself.
