Yes, you heard construction sounds. No, it's not a teardown—it’s a transformation.
What is coming?
A smart space for modern family life—independent, but always connected.
This home is getting a thoughtful upgrade: a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) created from an existing garage. Designed for multigenerational living, JADUs are compact, code-compliant living spaces with their own entrance and kitchenette—perfect for aging parents, adult children, or guests.
Why This Matters: Housing for Generations
Their vision: a multi-generational lifestyle with freedom, dignity, and proximity.
The homeowners wanted to create space that keeps family close—without stepping on anyone’s toes. This JADU will become a fully independent unit with a kitchen, bathroom, and private entry, perfect for:
- An aging parent who wants to live nearby but independently
- An adult child transitioning to life’s next chapter
- A dedicated in-home caretaker to support ongoing independence

- ADA-friendly bathroom for accessibility
- Private entrance & outdoor seating area

What’s Happening Now?
Right now, we’re deep in the construction phase. You might see framing going up, trades arriving on rotation, or energy upgrades being installed.
LEFF’s full-service design-build team is managing every detail—from city permitting to custom finishes—so the process is smooth, streamlined, and built to last.
Why LEFF?
We do things a little differently at LEFF.
Instead of juggling separate designers, architects, and builders, you get one tight-knit team—working together (with you!) from day one.
Everyone’s on the same page:
The vision stays clear.
The process stays smooth.
And you get a home that feels just right—because it was built that way, on purpose.
We’re local. We’re 100% employee-owned. And we’ve been crafting thoughtful homes in Sonoma County for over 45 years.
