Greenlake DADU

Greenlake DADU

Modern Carpentry’s Greenlake DADU project exemplifies a seamless blend of craftsmanship, functionality, and urban luxury. Built from the ground up, this Seattle backyard home began with a thorough permitting process—carefully navigating local zoning, setback requirements, and energy codes. Modern Carpentry’s expertise ensured a smooth path through city regulations, enabling timely construction while maximizing the livable space. The foundation features radiant heated concrete floors, offering both energy efficiency and year-round comfort—a smart choice for Seattle’s cooler climate.

Inside, the DADU is finished with high-end materials and bespoke design details. Custom cabinetry provides clean lines and efficient storage, while thoughtfully selected tile and stone add texture and elegance throughout the kitchen and bath. The spa-like bathroom includes a walk-in shower with a built-in niche and floor-to-ceiling tile, while the vaulted ceiling in the bedroom gives the space an airy, expansive feel. Every finish was chosen to elevate the everyday—modern, durable, and timeless.

The outdoor space is equally refined, with a private concrete patio perfect for entertaining and a lush, pet-friendly turf side yard that’s low-maintenance and family-friendly. DADUs like this one are an ideal solution for increasing housing options in the Puget Sound region, offering additional living space for multigenerational households, rental income, or private guest quarters—all without sacrificing style or comfort. In a neighborhood like Greenlake, where walkability, charm, and location matter, this DADU shows how thoughtful design, and expert execution can deliver modern urban living at its best.
