mother-in-law suite
Attached guest quarters
A mother-in-law suite is a self-contained living space within or attached to a single-family home, typically including a bedroom, bathroom, and small kitchen.
The name suggests housing for an aging parent, though such units serve various purposes: rental income, guest quarters, or housing adult children.
Also called an in-law apartment, granny flat, or accessory dwelling unit.
