The Apex was developed by Rover Tiny Homes as a park model residence designed for long-term placement rather than regular transport. Measuring 492 square feet with an additional 80-square-foot loft, the home combines engineered wood cladding, dark cedar shingles, and a Prolok metal roof with a vaulted interior finished in tongue-and-groove pine and reclaimed barn wood trim. Double glass doors and large A-frame windows maximize natural light, while a fireplace, mini-split system, and insulated walls and floors rated up to R24 and R31 support year-round comfort.
The home includes a kitchen with quartz countertops, custom slow-close cabinetry, a four-burner propane cooktop, dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer, and a breakfast bar for three. A separate mud room with its own exterior entrance connects to a bathroom equipped with a full bathtub, vanity, and stacked washer-dryer.
