The Holly is a 1,496 sq ft coastal cottage engineered for elevated living, featuring a 30'8" width and 67'4" depth profile. This two-story design utilizes a ground-level 1,496 sq ft, 2-car garage configuration, which protects the structure while providing substantial storage space. The elevated primary living level is accessed via stairs, positioning the core activities above the base grade to maximize privacy and sightlines.
The second floor contains the primary living zones, centered around an open-concept kitchen and keeping room. The kitchen features an island for prep and a walk-in pantry, maintaining direct sightlines into the living area. A covered front porch and rear deck provide 354 sq ft of combined outdoor living space, extending the floor plan beyond the interior walls. The 9-foot ceiling heights on the living level enhance the interior volume, creating a consistent sense of space throughout the main gathering zones.
A cluster-bedroom layout organizes the sleeping quarters, with a primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. Two additional secondary bedrooms share access to a second full bathroom, ensuring efficient use of the 1,496 sq ft heated area. A half-bath is also included to serve the main living area, supporting the needs of residents and guests alike.
Constructed with an 8:12 roof pitch, the building reaches a maximum height of 29'6". The exterior aesthetic is defined by traditional coastal detailing, supported by a structural design that prioritizes durability in beachside environments. The integration of the garage at the base level allows for a smaller total footprint, making this an efficient choice for narrow lots requiring a multi-level vertical orientation.
