Four Popular Features of Cottage Style Homes near Asheville, NC

Why are cottage style homes so popular today? Is it their cozy, storybook appeal? Their smaller, adaptable design? Their open house floor plans that flow from room to room?

From the picturesque windows to the steep rooflines, families can’t seem to get enough. Here are four standard features of our cottages that homeowners really appreciate:

1. Double-paned windows and an insulated front door: Before going green was the hip thing to do, it was the right thing to do. We have always built homes that were designed to save energy and keep your monthly utility bills low. These features have only grown in popularity in recent years.

New Home Building Now Underway at The Edinburgh

There’s no question that new home builders have taken a hit in recent years. But it’s not all doom and gloom out there.

Imagine living in a place where your kids can walk or ride bikes to school without leaving the comfort of the community. (Sure, it’s a far cry from the days when you trudged seven miles to school through rain, sleet and snow, but at least your kids will have it better than you, right?)
