Exterior Design
This charming country cottage offers **1,637 sq ft** of finished living space on the main level.
The façade is a tasteful combination of **brick and shake shingles**, accented by multi-pane windows and decorative flower boxes.
A **courtyard-entry 2-car garage** sits at the front, with the option of a bonus room above it.
Rooflines are moderately pitched (10:12 in key locations), framing the profile with a classic cottage silhouette.
The entry is softened by a covered porch leading into a foyer with raised ceilings.
Interior Layout
The main level is laid out with **vaulted ceiling accents** in the great room, tying together living, dining, and kitchen zones.
The foyer opens to the core of the home, with an angled kitchen that serves both the formal dining and breakfast nook zones fluidly.
The design places the **master suite tucked toward the rear** of the home for privacy, while the other two bedrooms reside on the opposite wing.
A transitional hallway connects the wings, minimizing wasted circulation.

A generous island anchors the layout, enabling interaction across the open spaces.
Proximity to the garage entry provides easy access for groceries and utility flow.
