A WOMAN has revealed that she spends \u00a31,250 a month on rent for a tiny home smaller than a parking space – but she loves the perks.<\/p>\n

Sung Yoo (40), opted to rent a small house in Santa Monica after spending a lot of money on renting two properties.<\/p>\n

Sung claims that the design of the apartment was such that it ‘doesn\u2019t feel cramped.’<\/span>CNBC Make It<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

CNBC’s Speaking To CNBC<\/a>Sung explained that she needed a change in scenery, so gave up her New York City one-bedroom apartment to move into her tiny home.<\/p>\n

Five boxes of winter clothing and accessories were placed in a storage space after she had sold and donated most of her items.<\/p>\n

You can walk to the beach in eight minutes. There are also hiking and nature trails nearby.<\/p>\n

But although the property is “smaller than the average size of a parking spot – which is roughly 150sq ft,” it costs \u00a31,250 a month including utilities, parking and WiFi.<\/p>\n

Sung’s tiny house lifestyle has many other benefits.<\/p>\n

This pad was “designed so that you don’t feel crowded” with a large main space which is the living room of the owner, his office, closet, and kitchen.<\/p>\n

Sung has admitted to adding a couple of home improvements such as accessories and hooks, but otherwise left the property as-is.<\/p>\n

It is a miniature home with glass doors that allow for the natural light to flood into it, which makes it look bigger.<\/p>\n

The pad is equipped with LED lights that can be adjusted to six different brightness levels.<\/p>\n

Sung stated: “I only use lights in my bathroom at night and in the evening.”<\/p>\n

She also improved her skills in outdoor cooking as the house did not have a space for a cooktop.<\/p>\n

She claims to cook at least six days a week at home, and has a propane double burner installed outside.<\/p>\n

It is just a small cave with a mattress.<\/p>\n

Sung keeps things organized by using zippered pouches and soft dividers.<\/p>\n

The compact bathroom has a round large mirror, an elegant rubberized sink, and a wall-length toilet.<\/p>\n

Only below the sink is there storage in this dark grey bathroom, perfect for a single person to store her toiletries.<\/p>\n

Sung revealed she even saves money because concrete panels regulate the temperature.<\/p>\n

“Living with intention in a tiny space has many benefits: I save time, energy and money (especially after getting rid of my \u00a33,500-per-month New York apartment),” she said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s very serene and grounding.<\/p>\n

The tiny home was built by architects at\u00a0Minarc Design Studio, and is parked in the garden of a single-family home.<\/p>\n

This comes after a woman revealed that she built her own tiny home in seven days and can now live on just \u00a3160 a month.<\/p>\n

A couple shared how much they enjoy their 235sqft small home. They have been able pay off debts using the savings they made.<\/p>\n

A family of four living in an itty-bitty portable house claims to have more space than the majority in their permanent homes.<\/p>\n
