Cottage of the Year

ABOUT THIS PLAN

Coastal Living's Cottage of the Year, SL-593, is a warm, inviting year-round retreat where can relax enjoy each other's company. by Eric
of Moser Design Group in Beaufort, South Carolina, the cottage features 2,612 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 3 baths.
The first floor of the main cottage encompasses three distinct living spaces: dining, sitting and cooking areas. Inside the front door, a dining area replaces a traditional foyer. There's plenty of space for a long rectangular table to be extended during the holidays. After breaking bread, guests can chat next to the large hearth in the adjacent family room. The hardworking kitchen is equipped for a large family or lots of guests, and the home's open floor plan allows the hosts to participate in the party. Just off the kitchen, a screened porch with a fireplace links the main house to the guest cottage, complete with porch and a loft. The house brims with built-in character, like shelves that flank the stair landing. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. For privacy, a vestibule separates the master quarters from the main house. Exposed beams add architectural interest to the master bedroom, which has its own sitting porch.
