Cost to add a one-room accessory dwelling to a home in Menlo Park

Ann, a homeowner in Menlo Park, CA, wanted to transform her home into a welcoming place that would accommodate her family, which includes five young adults. Anticipating that the family would continue to grow, Ann contacted New Avenue to discuss an addition.

The family’s New Avenue design professional created an accessory dwelling that includes a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a storage loft. Outdoor dining and seating, along with a patio for the ADU, were also included in the plan. A pair of skylights and several well-placed windows fill the home with natural light. A movable island in the kitchen makes the space more versatile
