Mid-Peninsula Small Spaces
Not everyone needs a monster dwelling with 5 bedrooms or 4,000 square feet. Many singles, couples, and retirees do not need the square footage, nor do they want the upkeep that comes with it. And let’s face it, the bigger the dwelling, the more it costs to heat, the more things there are to repair and replace, and the more it takes to fill it up. Simplifying your life with a smaller dwelling makes sense if you are a workaholic or world traveler and are not home very much or if you are trying to live your life with less clutter and less “things.” In that vein, we have some listings for you, all under 750 square feet and all of them single-family homes.
