Closest modern day equivalent is probably a DIY Tiny Home.
Here's one for $66k (steel frame only): https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bungalow-Raised-Deck-loft-2-Bedrooms-2-Bathrooms-1428-sq-ft-Included-Deck-Loft-Area-Tiny-Home-Steel-Frame-Kit-BRDL2B2B1428/321336351 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bungalow-Raised-Deck-loft-2-Bedr...
Other companies out there bundle additional components (more than just the frame). A quick google search turns up DIY kits that includes insulation, floors, walls, etc.

- jimcsharp 3y agoWe've got Beaver Homes up north: https://beaverhomesandcottages.ca/Search/Bungalow https://beaverhomesandcottages.ca/Search/Bungalow As far as I know they include everything.
- olyjohn 3y agoThe fuck? 1400sq feet is not a tiny home. That's the size of the house I live in. Also for barely more than that, you can just get a manufactured home, that comes with walls, power, carpets, insulation, plumbing, cabinets and bathrooms. These tiny home things are all a joke, they're not cheap, and never have been. It's kinda like these people building container homes. Sure they're cheap to start, then you start putting in all stuff that makes it a house, and lo-and-behold it becomes as expensive as a house.
