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 closer to their YouTube production offices in the Design District. However, they stumbled upon this charming home in Winnetka Heights, 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!”
By renting out the guest house, they were able to make their mortgage more affordable. The couple has been living in the home for two years and has had a positive experience.
“It has been perfect for us,” Keeley said.
This example illustrates the potential for affordable homeownership through creative solutions.
