Halton Hills, ON // 400 Sq.Ft. // $195,000 CAD // By Ark Tiny Homes

The Homestead Model, built by Ark Tiny Homes in Halton Hills, Ontario, offers a stunning 400 sq-ft tiny home with an open-concept kitchen and living room. Priced at $195,000 CAD, this tiny home provides a spacious feel with its 24 high-efficiency windows and 11ft ceilings.

The kitchen features a beautifully designed high-end layout with walnut butcher block countertops and a farmhouse sink. It is equipped with a full-size bottom split fridge/freezer, an induction cooktop, and a convection oven with a microwave function.

The three-piece bathroom includes a residential-sized vanity, a glass shower, and a composting toilet that resembles a residential toilet. The convenience of a washer/dryer combo is tucked comfortably in the corner of the bathroom.

The bedroom in the Homestead Model is designed as a two-tier loft, allowing for easy access without the need for a ladder or steep stairs. The loft comfortably fits a king-size bed and provides additional storage or desk space. The loft also offers the rare feature of being able to fully sit up in bed, enhancing comfort and usability.

Heating and cooling are taken care of with spray foam insulation in the floor, walls, and ceiling, along with a dual-zone mini-split heating and air conditioning unit. The mini-split unit can be controlled and monitored remotely through its Wi-Fi connectivity. The HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) system ensures fresh air circulation without compromising heating or cooling efficiency.

The Homestead Model offers ample storage options, including integrated storage in the steps leading to the loft bed, a large linen shelf in the washroom, 8 dresser drawers, and a deep opening behind the sink for storing brooms and mops. There is also a large crawl space underneath the first level of the bedroom with a separate outdoor entrance, providing additional storage for various items.

Additional features of the Homestead Model include top-of-the-line appliances, a commercial-grade metal roof with a 40-year warranty, commercial-grade luxury vinyl flooring, a 50-amp Siemens breaker panel, and a 20,000 BTU Senville dual-zone ductless mini-split for heating and air conditioning. The home also includes a 100-gallon fresh water holding tank, a water filtration system, and an Envirolet Composting Toilet.

With its quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design, the Homestead Model by Ark Tiny Homes offers a comfortable and sustainable living solution for those looking to embrace the tiny house lifestyle.
