Alexis & Christian note that this property works by "creating the perfect balance of space, comfort, and accessibility" for the homeowner, who is managing a life with multiple sclerosis.
In the clip, the homeowner walked through their property, showcasing the biggest perks that the property offers them. At just 336 square feet, the home cost $125,000 to build. But with the ability to live in their dream location, it was well worth the price.
The centerpiece of the property is a sunroom, which connects two tiny homes on each side. The room is completed with glass ceilings that allow the homeowner the opportunity to feel at home in nature.
"The reason I like this room, and probably the reason it was built, is I love the outdoors," the homeowner shared. "I love the woods."
