What Makes Us Different?
As the leading boutique, custom, coastal cottage builder in southeastern North Carolina, we are delighted to share with you our points of differentiation.
- We build dream cottages—one at a time.
- We offer 14 unique Craftsman-inspired cottage home plans of unequaled design, vin
tage style, and modern amenities for today’s discerning buyer. 1- and 2-story options from 1,400 to 2,600 square feet are available.
- We customize our cottage home plans any way our buyer wishes. We can modify, add to, or redesign any of our 12 plans to our buyer’s needs and wants.
- Each and every finish and feature in our cottage homes is selected by the buyer including: interior and exterior paint colors; flooring and tile; granite; cabinetry and doors; lighting, faucets, and bath fixtures.
- Our cottage homes are 35% more energy efficient.
- We are a RESNET Certified Builder with 3rd party certification to ensure our buyer’s home energy efficiency.
- One third of the 35% energy efficiency comes from the semi-conditioned crawl space we build under each and every one of our cottage homes. (Available in certain communities.)
- The remaining energy efficiency, in our custom cottage homes, comes from our energy-efficient building materials including, but not limited to: insulated wraps and taped seams; James Hardie siding; radiant barrier roof sheathing; high-performance shingles and windows; extensive caulking; a Rinnai tankless water heater; and a 15 SEER HVAC system.

s” is extensive and includes the following:
- Wide, welcoming front porches.
