The Divas have recently bought a lake home out on the Long Beach Peninsula, and we're all falling more in love with that part of this beautiful state. And we're REALLY in love with our latest Diva Dwelling: a Luxury Waterfront Estate in Chinook.

Outbuildings are a fun topic for us in real estate, and in urban areas we are big advocates for backyard cottages. More formally known as DADUs, we think they are an important part of urban development and character in years to come.

We love seeing large lots utilized to the fullest with well designed outbuildings. Naturally, we also love open green spaces and gardens, but when your lot allows for an outstanding outbuilding, the possibilities are endless and can significantly raise the value of a home.
