Could you live in a home that has less than 700 square feet of living space?

After almost 42 years of marriage, Mindy and I still enjoy each other's company, most of the time, so we'd be willing to, what I call, "ultra-downsizing."

Is bigger really better? Not in our case. As Mindy and I set our sights on retirement in the next 5 years, we've been talking about downsizing our living situation. She's been telling me how she could easily live in what is known as a "tiny house.So let me ask you a question. Could you live in a home that has less than 700 square feet of living space?

If you answered "yes," here are 5 homes in the Danbury area that just might work for you.
