Amazon Listed a Portable, Cabin-style Tiny House With Solar Panels and Tons of Natural Light—for Under $10K

I grew up with home makeover shows always playing at my parents' house, which caused me to develop some high expectations when it comes to my dream home. In a perfect (less expensive) world, I'd have a place with more than enough storage for my luggage collection and extensive wardrobe—plus, a gorgeous outdoor space with a view (a girl can dream, right?). The average cost of a home today is more than half a million dollars, according to a recent report from Statista. As an avid traveler, I'd rather put that money towards trips and go to Amazon's tiny house storefront for a home. The hub is packed with completely customizable models, including one I recently found that's drenched in natural light, has a full front porch, and comes with wheels, all for only $9,083. This tiny house has a sleek exterior with large windows that will fill the space with lots of natural light. It also has a front porch that's completely covered by an extended roof, so you can stay dry out there when it's raining. You won't have to construct it piece-by-piece either, the walls unfold on both sides of the house (known as a double-wing design) and you just need to push the walls into place—no sawing, drilling, or heavy machinery required. It arrives practically move-in ready, too, with a full-size bathroom and full kitchen, as well as insulation, plumbing, and electrical outlets pre-installed, saving you time and money. What's especially unique about the tiny house is how the manufacturer, FenZhong, gives you the power to customize the layout. You can get the home as large as 800 square feet with up to four bedrooms and two bathrooms. That means you can have a guest bedroom and a guest bathroom. According to a brand representative, you can have wheels included with the house for an additional cost, so you can move it if you decide to switch cities or states—no need to sell and find another home. You can also pay to have solar panels installed on the roof, which will help reduce your electricity bills and save you even more cash long term. Normally, you'd have to pay a contractor for these types of personalizations, but FenZhong will make layout adjustments for free—just message the manufacturer through the WhatsApp number in the product description with your desired customizations, and they'll provide a unique link for your upgraded tiny house. Amazon is also stocked with home essentials to complete your indoor and outdoor space. Shop our top picks below that will help transform your tiny house into a cozy home. Love a great deal?
