"The price I got quoted was the price I paid. That in itself is a miracle in an environment of rapidly rising prices."

Inside This Home

Built for the way people actually live.

Designed to feel like a real home, not a downsized version of one.

Standard Cottage 2 Bed, living room with exposed beam ceiling

Living room, exposed beam ceiling

Kitchen, open to living area

Bathroom, clean, modern finishes

Two full bedrooms

Both bedrooms are real rooms with closets, not lofts or convertible spaces. Upstairs privacy is built in from the start.

Covered porch included

The front porch is structural, not decorative. In Asheville's climate it's three-season outdoor living, standard, not a premium add-on.

Exposed beam ceilings

The open main floor features exposed structural beams, a design detail that makes the cottage feel custom. It's in the standard spec.

Right-sized for most lots

At 960 sq ft, this model fits comfortably on most infill and ADU-adjacent lots in Buncombe, Henderson, and Durham.
