This charming cottage makes smart living irresistible in under 800 sq ft. With 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and deep 6-foot porches front and rear, it offers outdoor appeal, indoor comfort, and sunshine-ready simplicity.
Porch Appeal Multiplied
Spanning the entire front and back, the 6-foot-deep porches nearly double your outdoor living space—perfect for rocking chairs, morning coffee, or evening chats under the stars.
Open, Functional Core
Step inside and you’ll find an open living area with a snack-bar snack separating the great room and kitchen—a clever move that opens the home up while keeping zones distinct. The kitchen includes both upper and lower cabinets plus a small pantry for smart storage.
Bedrooms, Divided by Function
The two bedrooms lie on opposite sides of a stackable laundry and a shared bath—nice for privacy when guests visit or household rhythms differ. The bathroom includes a traditional tub/shower combo.
