The tiny house movement has picked up steam in the past few years. With rent being sky high in many areas of the country, many are looking for alterative ways to enter the market or just to keep their heads above water. The movement initially focused on building your own structure, but as with everything, regulations and the lack of DYI skills from individuals have turned the movement into an industry, and it is now quite hard to find one of these affordable alternative forms of housing cheap. This is where Amazon is coming in, as they now have a luxury tiny home for a great price.
While affordability is a spectrum, it needs to be stated that, for what you would be getting if you picked this model, the $24,999 price point is staggeringly good. This is not a regular garden shed that you just plop down on a garden and use for extra storage, this is a fully insulated structure that comes fully plumbed and ready to be lived in, as soon as you manage to put it together.
This SEQ Tiny Prefab Luxury Home is a perfect example of a home that is comfortable, nice and affordable, plus, being sold on Amazon it is quite accessible for everyone that wises to purchase one of these models.
The Amazon tiny home that has revolutionized the market
This prefabricated home has been described as compact, affordable, and easy to install, and it has been purposefully designed as a modular unit, which makes it perfect for both temporary and permanent residents. Because it is a container home, it also has the advantage of being fully waterproof and not needing complicated foundation work to be settled, also making it perfect as a temporary or permanent home in a remote location where permitting is complicated.
It is not very big, but that is the point, with exterior dimensions of approximately 232 inches long by 86 inches wide by 97 inches high. In this small footprint it is able to accommodate a bedroom, kitchen, full bathroom, and a small living room, and the company also has larger models that can expand on this footprint and add extra bedrooms if you want to spurge a bit more or have the extra space.
The reason why the price is unbeatable is because the purchase comes with a fully equipped kitchen including cabinets, hot and cold water faucets, integrated plumbing, and a sink, while the bathroom is equipped with a sink, toilet, mirror, separate shower area, and a water heater. It also has a free air conditioning unit that is pre-installed, making it perfect as a summer vacation home.
Since it is a self contained structure, it also comes with large windows that allow plenty of natural light to come in and give an indoor outdoor feel that is important in tiny spaces as it makes them feel less claustrophobic. The insulation is also a big pro with this model, as it is fireproof, and, when added to the shipping container structure, allows for a very temperature controlled environment that is pleasant to live in year round.
One of the main reasons to consider this model over others of the same size but different construction is the durability factor. This tiny home is equipped to withstand winds up to level 11, earthquakes up to level 9, humidity, and even fires, thanks to materials such as glass wool, reinforced steel, and thermal barriers. As a last pro, the exterior color can be customized, which means that it is truly ready to assemble and live in, without any changes needed to be made to just enjoy it.
