About The Blakely
The Blakely is an 800 square-foot, two-bedroom plan on two stories.
Stacking the floors keeps the footprint small, so it fits lots where the single-story Sinclair won't.
A good fit for
- Narrow or crowded lots
- Keeping more of the yard open
- Two bedrooms where coverage limits are tight
What you still need
- A site plan for your lot showing setbacks, utilities and drainage
- A building permit from your city or Kitsap County
- Septic approval from Kitsap Public Health if you are not on sewer

Step 3 · Site plan
Will it fit on your lot?
Enter your lot and house, then drag the ADU into place. This is a quick test fit. Our site plan adds survey or County GIS lines, utilities, driveway, parking, drainage and critical areas, drawn to your jurisdiction's checklist.
Budget
What would The Blakely cost to build?
Ballpark the building
Our builds usually run $325 to $550 per square foot, depending on finishes. That covers the building. Site work, utility connections and septic depend on your lot, so we price them after a site visit.
Building estimate range
—
An estimate range, not a bid. Permit fees shown are Kitsap County's published approximations for unincorporated Kitsap; city fees differ. Your fixed price comes from a site visit and a line-item estimate.
Questions
The Blakely FAQ
Is the Blakely plan free?
Yes. The Blakely is a Kitsap pre-approved plan, free to use without structural changes in Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Port Orchard, Poulsbo and urban unincorporated Kitsap. Permit fees and a site plan are still required.
Can I build The Blakely on a rural lot?
Yes, for a fee. Kitsap County says rural-zoned lots can use the pre-approved plans with a Conditional Use Permit, its fees, and a $1,000 design fee. Rural detached ADUs are also limited to 900 square feet or half the main house, whichever is smaller.
Can I change The Blakely?
Only non-structural choices: window colors, sill heights and operation, roof pitch, style and materials, eaves, siding, doors, lighting and most interior walls. Structural changes take it out of the pre-approved path and into full review.
What does it cost to build The Blakely?
Our builds usually run $325 to $550 per square foot for the building, which for The Blakely is about $260,000 to $440,000. Site work, utilities and septic are extra and depend on your lot. Kitsap County puts the permit fee at about $5,770 in unincorporated Kitsap.
