The AS540 is built for real living. A private bedroom, full bathroom and open living-kitchen-dining area sit in a compact footprint that works on most California lots — the sweet spot for aging parents, newlyweds, adult children or a long-term tenant.
Rental income potential
A quality one-bedroom ADU rents at roughly $1,500–$2,200 per month in Los Angeles County, $1,800–$2,800 in the Bay Area, and $1,200–$1,800 in Sacramento — roughly $14,000–$24,000 a year.
Energy & construction
Steel framing, cement fiberboard siding and Class A metal roofing give a fire-resistant, low-maintenance exterior. Double-pane windows and insulated doors keep energy costs down, and the unit is HERS-tested before delivery.
Finishes & colors
Pergo luxury flooring, 1.5-inch laminate counters, white cabinetry, and full-size appliances. Roof and siding colors are chosen from the Sherwin Williams palette to complement the primary residence.
Warranty & support
Manufacturer warranty coverage on structure and factory-installed systems, plus standard appliance warranties. Documentation is provided at the final walkthrough.
