Three bedrooms. All on one level.

One thousand square feet. Three bedrooms. Two full bathrooms. All on one level.

The Lincoln is the largest single-story Signature Home in the lineup — and the largest ADU you can build on most Los Angeles lots without going vertical.

A full family home with a primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and the kind of open living space that makes visitors forget they are standing in a backyard building.

What makes The Lincoln special
  • Largest kitchen in the single-story collection — designed for families that cook at home every night, not just reheat takeout
  • True third bedroom with its own door and closet — not a flex nook relabeled as a bedroom on the floor plan
  • Highest single-story rent in the lineup — $3,800–$4,400+/month, competitive with two-story homes that cost $60K more

Floor plan

The biggest home you can build without going up.

The Lincoln floor plan — 1000 sqft, 3 bedroom

Open living & dining

Open plan · generous ceilings

A wide-open living and dining area that anchors the home. Vaulted ceilings under a gable roof or a clean nine feet under a flat roof. At 1,000 square feet on one level, the Lincoln has the open-plan square footage that two-story floor plans split across floors — here it is all on one continuous plane, with sightlines from the kitchen to the front door.

Designer kitchen

Full size · entertainer layout

Full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, range, and hood. Solid wood slab cabinetry and Bedrosians quartz counters. The Lincoln's kitchen is the largest in the single-story collection — enough counter and cabinet space for a family that cooks at home every night, not just the family that orders in.

Primary suite

King-bed capable · en-suite bath

A king-bed-capable primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a private en-suite bathroom. Close the door and the rest of the home disappears — a real primary suite with a real en-suite bath, not a slightly larger bedroom sharing the hall bathroom like most three-bedroom ADU floor plans deliver.

Second bedroom

Queen-bed capable

A full second bedroom with its own door, its own closet, and queen-bed clearance. Shares the second full bathroom with the third bedroom. Works as a child's room, a guest room, or the second bedroom in a three-bedroom rental — the room that justifies the rent premium over a two-bedroom.

Third bedroom

Flex room · queen-bed capable

A true third bedroom — not a closet someone relabeled on the floor plan. Queen-bed capable with a closet and natural light. The third bedroom is the reason the Lincoln works as a full family home: nursery, home office, teenager's room, or the room that turns a two-bedroom rental into a three-bedroom rental and adds $400 a month to the check.

Two full bathrooms

Primary en-suite + shared

Two full bathrooms — one private en-suite serving the primary bedroom, one shared between the second and third bedrooms and common areas. Both feature Delta plumbing, Kohler fixtures, quartz-topped vanities, and your choice of shower or tub configuration.

Who it's for

Three owners. One floor plan.

The Lincoln was designed to serve very different ways of living — and it does all of them without compromise.

The family housing a family

A full home for the people who need one most.

Your daughter, her husband, and their two kids need a place to live. They need bedrooms — plural. They need two bathrooms. They need a kitchen where someone can make school lunches at 7am. The Lincoln is a 1,000-square-foot three-bedroom home in your backyard — not a studio, not a one-bedroom compromise, a real house where a real family lives a real life. Built for the situation where "just stay with us for a while" actually has to work.

The maximum-income investor

The highest-rent single-story ADU you can build.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms is the ceiling for single-story ADU rental income in Los Angeles. The Lincoln rents for $3,800 to $4,400+ a month — the highest in the single-story collection and competitive with two-story homes that cost $60,000 more to build. Three roommates splitting $4,200 pay $1,400 each. That is affordable for them and transformational for you.

The aging couple

Downsize the house. Keep the space.

Your parents are selling the four-bedroom. They do not want to leave the neighborhood. They do not want to lose a bedroom for when grandchildren sleep over. The Lincoln gives them three bedrooms and two bathrooms on one level — no stairs, no second floor, no compromise. They keep a guest room. They keep a room for the sewing machine or the model trains. They keep their dignity and their square footage.

Life in The Lincoln
What life looks like

A full family home. In your backyard.

Picture the Lincoln on your lot for a moment.

Saturday morning

Your daughter makes pancakes in her own kitchen while the kids watch cartoons in the living room. Her husband is in the third bedroom — the one they turned into an office — finishing something from Friday. Nobody walks through your house. Nobody shares your bathroom. A family of four lives a full life in 1,000 square feet because the floor plan was designed for exactly this.

The listing that sets a record

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, single-story, private entrance, full kitchen — you list it on a Wednesday. By Saturday, three groups have toured it. The lease signs at $4,200 a month. Fifty thousand dollars a year from a building in your backyard. The Lincoln does not just pay for itself — it changes your financial picture permanently.

Your parents' first winter

Your father walks from the primary suite to the kitchen without a single step or stair. Your mother has the second bedroom set up as her reading room. The third bedroom has a pullout for when the grandchildren stay over. They sold a house they could no longer maintain and moved into a home that asks nothing of them — thirty feet from the family that matters most.

Three bedrooms. Two bathrooms. One thousand square feet. All on one level, in the backyard you already own.

The build standard

Premium isn't an upgrade. It's our baseline.

Every Signature Home is built to the same specification — the same windows, the same insulation, the same cabinetry, the same quartz. Nothing here is an extra. It's what you get.

Building envelope & systems

Insulation
Closed-cell spray foam in the roof, mineral wool batts in the walls. Exceeds Title 24 energy code — lower utility bills, fire-resistant, and significantly quieter than standard fiberglass construction.
Windows
Milgard dual-pane low-E vinyl windows. Energy Star rated, Title 24 compliant, and warrantied.
Roof
Cool-roof-rated TPO membrane (flat) or GAF / CertainTeed dimensional shingle (gable). All Title 24 compliant.
Siding
Smooth stucco or James Hardie fiber cement — not vinyl, not wood-look plastic. Built for California sun and fire code.
HVAC
Daikin ductless mini-split heat pumps. Quiet, ultra-efficient, and built for the California climate — heating and cooling in one system.
Water heater
Rheem hybrid heat pump water heater — three to four times more efficient than standard electric. Lower utility bills and eligible for federal tax credits and utility rebates.

Interior finishes

Cabinetry
Solid wood slab cabinetry — walnut, bleached oak, charcoal black, or white shaker depending on package. Not melamine, not thermofoil.
Countertops
Bedrosians quartz throughout — kitchen, bathroom, and any bar areas. Comparable to a $50,000 kitchen remodel in a primary home.
Backsplash
Bedrosians tile, full-height between counter and upper cabinets — mosaic, classic subway, or large-format porcelain depending on package.
Flooring
Daltile luxury vinyl plank or sealed concrete, depending on package. Waterproof, scratch-resistant, and rental-grade durable.
Plumbing & bath
Delta plumbing fixtures, Kohler toilets and tubs, DreamLine frameless shower enclosures, and Panasonic ultra-quiet bath fans — 0.3 sones, quieter than your refrigerator.
Lighting
Halo LED recessed lighting throughout, Kichler LED strip under-cabinet lighting, and Lutron dimmers in every main living zone. Spec-grade, not builder-grade.
Interior design

324 combinations. You pick the one that's yours.

The Lincoln interior — Classic Shaker combination

  • Champagne bronze plumbing & cabinet hardware
  • Light-tone wood-look flooring
  • Textured white porcelain backsplash

The Lincoln — Modern Flat Roof exterior configuration

Flat roof with a clay-tile parapet cap, sand finish stucco in warm tones, and a warm color palette. California mission character built from the same configurator choices available to every client.

The Lincoln — Traditional Gable exterior configuration

Traditional Gable

HardiePlank lap siding + white windows

Gable roof in light-brown dimensional shingle, horizontal HardiePlank lap siding, and white Milgard Trinsic windows. Timeless neighborhood character, reinterpreted for California.

The Lincoln — Modern Farmhouse exterior configuration

Modern Farmhouse

HardiePanel board-and-batten + matte black windows

Gable roof in charcoal shingle, vertical HardiePanel board-and-batten in bright white, and matte black windows. Sharp, striking, and built entirely from standard configurator selections.
