Description
This cypress-and-stucco cottage offers the special appeal of a weekend resort and the year-round comfort and livability of a home in town. Much of the home's charm derives from its simple, traditional lines. Raised on a foundation of whitewashed brick, the cottage features a hipped wood-shake roof, multipaned casements, and a center chimney with a well-detailed brick cap. Boxed cypress columns support the entry porch. Functioning wood shutters can be added to secure the house.
Vaulted ceilings in the living room and master bedroom give a spacious feeling. Skylights at the rear open the house to trees and sky without compromising its traditional facade. French doors to the porch and transom-topped windows help open rooms to natural light. Placement of windows and doors creates cross-ventilation. Wide, cased openings between rooms, a whole-house fan, and ceiling fans increase air circulation.
The plans include construction drawings for an attached garage. Details are provided for both a crawlspace and a slab-on-grade foundation.
