A Winnetka Heights Craftsman can be made more affordable for the average buyer through a clever approach.
Keeley and Scott Ellis were initially looking for a home near their YouTube production offices in the Design District, but discovered this Winnetka Heights home just eight minutes away.
“Then we saw it had a guest house,” Keeley said. “We knew if we kept it rented out, it would make our mortgage affordable, so we put in an offer!”
They moved in two years ago, rented the guest house to a friend, and have enjoyed their time living there.
“It has been perfect for us,”Keeley said.
This approach is an example of making a home more affordable by utilizing a guest house as a rental property.
