The tiny house is for sale!  Located at 302 Ralston Rd. in Machesney Park, Illinois.


From the all the built-in bookcases, the dutch door, the organic branch shelf...it is a little treasure!


The loft is great for meditation and the grandkids sleepovers with extra space for storage.  The kitchen is tiny but packs more storage than most full size country kitchens.


The view from the bedroom showcases the gas stove heater and river rock surround.


Remember it's a tiny space, but you can do just about everything 
except a big turkey for Thanksgiving.



That's a three burner gas cooktop and a soapstone sink.


Room for up to a king size bed, with luggage storage above, plenty of closets
 including a walk-in and a hidden ironing board.


More closets!  And that electric panel has 200 amps of power.


A peak into the walk-in and the door to the bathroom.


A soaking tub, or a shower surround with a great hidden medicine cabinet 
and plenty of storage for your toiletries and linens.


One of the oldest and biggest remaining elm trees in Northern Illinois greets 
you at the street and welcomes you up the curvy driveway. 


The elm and the hosta garden beyond...


The lillies and russian sage berm are just past the dry koi pond.


Another view of inside and the antique library ladder.


The front walks and a view of the building at the end of the driveway.


Your fountain garden and containers.


Outbuilding #1.  Inside is like a mini-version of the cottage--fully insulated and wired.


And it has some character at the front!


Here's the inside!


The terraced planters at the back.  That bird bath gets a lot of action from all the pollinators in the yard.  The veggie garden is in the center, to the back property line.


The view from the top!


The fire pit!


The outdoor shower and a utility sink for cleaning up.


Outbuilding #2.  This one isn't as cute but is carpeted, wired and set up for an office.


It is the cottage version of a tiny paradise!
