Tiny homes aren’t about cutting corners—they’re about clever corners. This ~896 sq ft modern cottage packs in smart living with 1 bedroom, 1½ baths, and a layout made for both efficiency and elegance.
Stylish Without the Pretension
On the outside, modest board-and-batten siding, balanced windows, and a hint of porch—and you’ve got cottage curb appeal that says “welcome” without showing off.
Open-Concept Living That Breathes
Step inside and enjoy an open layout where living, dining, and kitchen merge under ~9-ft ceilings. The space feels larger than its footprint, with smart layout details making every corner count.
Bedroom That Respects the Rest of the Home
The master bedroom offers personal retreat space—quiet, peaked ceilings and close access to a full bath and powder room, so guests and late-night visitors keep their distance.
