2 min readYou don’t need to go very far to escape from everyday chaos and stress. Thanks to “The Retreat,” a tiny home from Well Done Homes you buy at Home Depot, it’s possible to score a little bit of serenity without leaving your yard.
It’s no secret we’re slightly obsessed with sheds of all shapes and sizes. Some might make a suitable she shed—and others are ripe for entertaining—but the Retreat? Well, it’s the perfect relaxing respite. A home away from home, if you will.
Part of that, of course, is because of design. Unlike wooden sheds—which might warp, rot, or become infested with termites—the Retreat is made of cold-formed steel, a non-combustible material the brand claims is “stronger and straighter” than traditional timber. Plus, cold-formed steel is recyclable and eco-friendly, so Mother Nature will approve of this setup.
Though the shed comes with precision-cut panels for an easy install, Well Done Homes will reportedly deliver and set up the walls, windows, sliding glass doors, and that angular roof on your behalf. The company prides itself on making customizable spaces its owners will truly love, so it’s possible to add tiny tweaks to make this store-bought shed your own. In no time, you’ll have a sleek, serene space waiting to be spruced up as you see fit.
Spanning across two stories, the 1,126-square-foot dwelling is packed with potential. The generous ground floor would be the perfect spot to add a home gym, meditation zone, or cute coffee bar. Mosey up the spiraled staircase and enjoy some fresh air on the balcony, which is practically begging for some outdoor chaise lounges. Speaking of upstairs, the second floor would be a dreamy location for a guest bedroom.
Whether you want to entertain out-of-towners or indulge in some well-deserved self-care, the Retreat can be just the escape you’re looking for. For a price, that is. While sheds are an investment, the Retreat is currently on sale for $72,596, which isn’t exactly chump change.
But once the sticker shock wears off, you may start to see how much bang for your buck you’re actually getting. A semi-custom accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, built without you lifting a finger? A sprawling space that can also boost your home’s value by up to 34 percent? Somewhere to unwind?! When you put it that way—and if you can swing it financially—it’s a no-brainer.
