        "text": "The primary difference between a backyard cottage and a home addition lies in their connection to the main structure. A backyard cottage is a detached, separate building on your property, offering independent living space. A home addition, by contrast, physically expands the existing footprint of your primary residence. Both provide additional space, but a backyard cottage offers more privacy and autonomy, which can be a key decision factor for clients seeking distinct living arrangements or rental income.",
