Designed by architect Lucia Knight Del Sol, "The Cottage" is one of her most popular Little House designs - and typifies "not-so-big" home ideals.  By playfully mixing intimate spaces with high volume ceilings and overlapping uses, this home feels at once roomy and cozy. 

The house is finished in mahogany and fir wood trims.  The lower level has an open plan living and dining area centered around a propane fired cast iron stove.  Knotty alder cabinets fill the kitchen.  And entertaining is a breeze with the propane stove, wine chiller and comfortable breakfast bar.  The smaller, third bedroom, laundry area and full bath round out the first floor.

A open stairway, also finished in mahogany and fir, looks out onto a stand of Birch trees.  The second floor has only two spaces - the larger, second bedroom and the Master Suite.  Cathedral ceilings and dormers make for wonderful window arrangements and panoramic Bay views from the upper level.  The Master BR has a spacious walk-in closet with built linen and clothes storage areas.  While the Master Bath features a dual vanity sink, radiant floor heat and ceramic tile floors and counter tops.

Protected by Birch and Alder, a brick patio overlooks the fenced and landscaped back yard, with its own potting shed.  And, like every room in the home, you again have wonderful views to Kachemak Bay and the mountains beyond.

Available for the first time, "The Cottage" was built for, and by, the current owners.
