The Chestnut
Meet The Chestnut — a thoughtfully designed 878 SF, 2-bedroom, 2-bath ADU that proves great things really do come in smart packages. Created by Zee-LLC, a professional design-and-build contractor, this plan delivers far more than just drawings: it’s a proven, build-ready solution backed by real construction expertise. That means fewer surprises, smoother permitting, and a design that’s already been vetted for functionality, efficiency, and modern appeal. The Chestnut is ideal for homeowners looking to add long-term value, flexible living space, or reliable rental income without overbuilding.
Architecturally, The Chestnut embraces a clean, modern aesthetic with a low-profile shed roof, balanced window placement, and a sleek, contemporary façade that fits effortlessly into both urban and suburban settings. Inside, the layout is where the plan truly shines. A central open-concept living room and kitchen create a bright, welcoming heart of the home, while the bedrooms are positioned on opposite ends for privacy—perfect for roommates, multigenerational living, or guests. Each bedroom includes dedicated closet space, and both bathrooms are full-size, eliminating the compromises often found in smaller ADUs.
Every square foot of The Chestnut works hard. The kitchen features a generous working layout with pantry storage, modern appliance spacing, and room for an island or dining solution. A dedicated laundry area, smart mechanical placement, and intuitive circulation make the home feel larger than its footprint suggests. With The Chestnut, you’re not just buying a plan—you’re investing in a professionally crafted ADU design that’s efficient, attractive, and ready to perform in the real world. Designed to build beautifully. Designed to live even better.
