CoBuy Suitability Score™

Supports two households living independently under one roof.

Zones: 2 Dwellings · 2 kitchens · 2 living zones

Dwelling: a complete home — sleeping, bathing, cooking, and its own entrance.

Owner-verified: 11 of 12unverified counts as absent; scores only rise with proof

Two independent households: A−
Two friends: A
A couple plus one: A
Two couples: A
A household plus a separate unit: B+
Three to five adults: C

Scored for six ways of sharing a home. This one supports six of them.

How it grades for each way of sharing

All six are possible here. The weakest is shown at the same weight as the strongest.

Two independent households: A−Each level group has its own kitchen, bath, laundry, and outside door.
Two friends: ATwo full kitchens and two entrances mean neither party is a guest in the other's space.
A couple plus one: AThe lower level works as a self-contained one- or two-bedroom home.
Two couples: ASix bedrooms across three levels, with living space on two of them.
A household plus a separate unit: B+The lower level is self-contained; the two share a lot and a driveway.
Three to five adults: CBuilt for two parties, not five individuals. Beyond the two self-contained levels, each additional adult takes a bedroom and shares a hall bath.

Grades describe what the home can physically support, not who should buy it. A larger home satisfies smaller groups easily, so the strongest grades are not always the best fit. Buyers should confirm permitted uses and occupancy rules with the city.

What makes it work

Two full kitchens. Each with its own range, not a kitchenette. This is the single feature most homes are missing, and it is what makes independent living possible rather than merely sharing.
Two separate outside doors. One to the main level, one down its own stairwell to the lower level. Neither party walks through the other's space to get home.
Two laundry setups. One on each level group, with their own hookups. Shared laundry is where co-owners actually collide.
Parking for five. A three-car covered carport plus two driveway spaces, so shared living does not become a parking argument.

Side elevation showing two separate red entry doors — one reached by a walkway to the main level, the other down its own railed stairwell to the lower level. — Two separate entrances: the main level by walkway, the lower level down its own stairwell.

The floor plans

Lower, main, and upper levels. The lower level has its own kitchen, full bath, laundry, and exterior door.

Lower level floor plan: a living room opening to a porch, a kitchen, a full bath, two bedrooms, a hall, and a laundry room with its own stair to the level above. — Lower level

Main level floor plan: entry, kitchen, dining and living areas, a bedroom, a full bath, and a deck running along the rear. — Main level

Upper level floor plan: three bedrooms under sloped dormer ceilings sharing a full bath. — Upper level
