The Heather Cottage - Cedar Shingle and Timber Frame Style Home
2,877 Square Feet in 2 Levels ~ 4 Bedrooms ~ 3 ½ Baths
We’ve teased you so many times in advertising with this great front shot of the popular Heather Cottage, we thought it was about time we shared the whole house with you! Its charming exterior of white cedar shingles, timber trusses and trim, stucco and stone, is reminiscent of an old English cottage.
This home starts out with a small footprint of only 1700 square feet, yet it makes no sacrifices from our typically much larger plans. The Heather Cottage’s main level has the popular open Great Room, Dining Room and Kitchen, along with the Master Suite and a clever combination Laundry/Pantry Room. Upstairs fits a surprising 3 more Guest Bedrooms and 2 full Baths!
Complete with the requisite ‘wall of glass’ designed for maximizing the great lake view out the rear of the home, The Heather cottage has everything our big homes have. Finished in our white cedar shingles and trimmed out with contrasting timber frame accents, this home looks larger than it is from the lakeside.
The graceful timber frame trusses, rafters and accents make the boldest statement in the great room. The designers cleverly fit in this spacious room which measures a generous 21’ x 19 ½’.
Seating for eight in the dining room with plenty of natural light and a view that can’t be beat!
The dining room and kitchen is divided by a snack bar, which works well for casual meals as well as a buffet. The well designed kitchen is adjacent to the laundry room and mud room.
The charming and attractive master suite features white cedar trim against crisp cream walls and takes full advantage of the lake views beyond. Soft curtains at the tiled master tub offers privacy and filters the light for a tranquil soak.
One of three guest bedrooms and two baths upstairs, this one sleeps three. The lucky guests in this room will enjoy the rustic touch of the white cedar paneling on the walls and the lake breeze from the cute dormer window.
