The Parker Kit - $40,800
The Parker Kit - This compact cabin or utility building is one of our smaller DIY home kits, with a loft.
It is a 16' X 24' cabin and utility building kit. The first floor interior space is 345 square feet. The “useable” space in the loft is about 58 square feet—where there is at least 5' of headroom under the rafters.
This particular building has a half loft, and the space would be doubled by closing the open ceiling in the front half. The 5' headroom rule is from the building code and really shouldn't apply here as the space is too small to be considered as occupied space.
One of the original “Parker” kits was built on the coast of Maine, for boat and equipment storage and for use as a cabin. The size and features of the building allow for flexibility for multiple uses, including use as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). ADU’s are becoming more popular in many towns and cities, to allow for better use of land, and for additional housing.
The Gordon Kit is similar in size, though the loft is larger as the loft floor is full sized, and it does show a small bath and stair.
