Amazon shoppers can now buy a four-bedroom, cabin-style tiny home for $8,100 without leaving the website. The prefab structure, sold by manufacturer Jianfei Lin, ships with a wraparound porch, glass entry doors, and an interior that buyers can reconfigure at no extra cost, according to News Of Los Angeles.
Key Features of the Expandable Tiny Home
- Exterior footprint starts small and expands to 800 sq feet
- Wraparound porch sized for outdoor furniture or ski storage
- Wall-to-wall windows and glass doors for natural light
- Pre-installed plumbing and electrical systems
- Fully built kitchen and bathroom included
Buyers choose the exterior color, door and window shapes, bathroom flooring, and kitchen-cabinet style free of charge. Additional rooms-up to four total-can be added for an added fee, letting the unit serve as a guesthouse, weekend cabin, or full-time residence.
Price Breakdown vs. Traditional Housing
Traditional homes in many U.S. markets carry median prices above $400,000, according to recent real-estate data cited by Jonathan P. Miller. By contrast, the Amazon tiny home’s $8,100 list price undercuts the average new construction cost per square foot by more than 90 percent. The prefab approach also eliminates the months-long wait typical for site-built projects, the outlet notes.
Customization Options
| Included Free | Optional Add-Ons |
