We’ll never get tired of seeing how other people live, and that is doubly so when tiny homes are involved. Right-sizing your life and living purposefully always resonates, and with good reason: A tiny home can cost many times less than a traditional home, and a brand-new one arrives practically move-in ready, with the never-lived-in feel of new construction at a sliver of the price.

And with more homebuyers going small, tiny homes themselves pack in more of the full-size amenities we love, like multiple bedrooms, open-concept living, front porches, and even carports, to give us the best of both worlds. For a prime example of how homey they can get, look to this 430-square-foot home from Amazon that has all of these things and many more.

The exterior is styled much like any home, with a metal-clad roof, plank-like siding, and a gabled silhouette. But even better, this tiny house includes a covered front porch that's all but begging for a porch swing, rocking chairs, a conversation set, and morning coffee. There's also a protected carport large enough for a vehicle or a phenomenal outdoor dining room. Together, these outdoor areas nearly double the livable, usable space of this tiny home, to give even more satisfaction per square inch.

Step inside—either from the front porch or through double doors under the carport—and you’ll find a level of thoughtful space-planning often missing in larger homes where room isn’t an issue. Living, dining and cooking areas blend harmoniously with an open-concept flow that ranks so high on homebuyers’ wishlists.

The kitchen, while petite, has the user-friendly U-shaped layout many cooks love. There's a continuous run of countertop for meal prep and upper and lower cabinets for storage, plus a built-in cooktop, a four-door refrigerator, and a peninsula bar with seating for two.

In both bedrooms—yes, this tiny home has two—floor-to-ceiling built-ins max out the vertical space to provide loads of out-of-sight storage, a must in any space where every inch counts. One bedroom is large enough for a queen bed—perhaps even a king—and the other is perfect for a twin, maybe even bunk beds, or completely reimagined as a sunny studio or workspace.

Throughout the house, you’ll spot plenty of homey comforts that are many steps above builder grade, like engineered wood floors in every room—a welcome change from the patchwork of laminate and carpet in so many traditional homes on the market. Plus, you get locking doors, windows, a button-flush toilet, a glassed-in shower, a rainfall shower, and more. The carport's roof can even support solar panels, photos show, to further lower your carbon footprint.
