01

Two full bedrooms

Both bedrooms are real rooms with closets — not lofts or convertible spaces. Upstairs privacy is built in from the start.

02

Covered porch included

The front porch is structural, not decorative. In Asheville's climate it's three-season outdoor living — standard, not a premium add-on.

03

Exposed beam ceilings

The open main floor features exposed structural beams — a design detail that makes the cottage feel custom. It's in the standard spec.

04

Right-sized for most lots

At 960 sq ft, this model fits comfortably on most infill and ADU-adjacent lots in Buncombe, Henderson, and Durham.
