Cost to design, permit, and build an attached accessory dwelling in Berkeley
When Lori decided to add an attached apartment to her Berkeley home, she contacted New Avenue. Lori needed a nice home for her mother that could be rented out later.
A New Avenue design professional created an attached ADU with a kitchen, a dining/living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The designer also designed a deck with a trellis and a new driveway for the property.
The floorplan for the addition is above. The new rooms, highlighted in yellow, will make an ideal home for the owner’s mother and can be rented out in the future.
