Inside This 918-Sq.-Ft. Cottage with a Modern Interior



The​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Waxahachie cottage from Pratt Homes is a great example of classic farmhouse style with its attractive face that looks familiar yet up-to-date at the same time. Its large 136-square-foot porch at the front makes the house a real show piece to the eye and at the same time offers a great place to enjoy the fresh air and relax in the morning with a cup of coffee or have a long talk late in the evening. Simple geometrical shapes, well thought-out proportions, and nice architectural details give this cottage a strong charm and it will only become more beautiful and eye-catching in any background like a country field, a suburban street, or even lakefront properties. The siding and trim are a classic farmhouse color, which add a bright, solid feel of the porch and the roof. It’s traditional and still modern enough to work in today’s market.

918-Sq.-Ft. Cottage with a Modern Interior

The cottage looks very inviting and the exterior design complements the nature around it. The dormer windows allow the light to flood inside the home while the roof gives off a classic farmhouse vibe. This design has a very traditional feel but the houses are made using very modern materials and techniques; a great combo! It can be a home, cabin or even guest house. It would be great in a suburban neighborhood as well. Small enough to make it easy to maintain but big enough to entertain guests.

Farmhouse details such as a porch with a railing and cross gables give it a traditional/old fashioned look while architecture that mimics a barn gives it a modern and new look. You may think about it as a cool weekend getaway spot or a permanent home for yourself, whichever fits your lifestyle better.

This open plan house stands out from the crowd through a simple design and bright living space. High ceilings and windows allow sunlight to enter the living spaces resulting in a bright and pleasant atmosphere at any time of the day. The shared space is large and open, perfect for living a relaxed life and entertaining loved ones. Wooden ceiling beams, and carefully selected materials contribute to the warm and homely atmosphere but at the same time maintain the airy spaciousness in the limited 918sq footage.

Energy-efficient windows and a kitchen with an abundance of cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, island and seating make it a chef’s dream. The kitchen opens up beautifully to the dining and living spaces and overlooks the generous front porch with beautiful views beyond. As to the other features of the kitchen, the countertops are quartz, the appliances stainless steel and the faucets and hardware have been chosen to mimic those in a farmhouse. A large serving station is located in the center of the kitchen, which can be used as a workstation, dining area and a place for casual gatherings. White cabinets with simple details, an opening to fresh air and a functional layout make it very comfortable and efficient at the same time.

The XL bedroom with its layout is a perfect place to relax at the end of the day and enjoy your personal space. Close by, the full bath with modern fixtures provides that little extra touch of luxury. The cottage layers all the way down from unique to cozy and so the bedroom manages to be a restful, comfortable spot without being too small or drastically different in style from the rest of the house. Plenty of daylight together with the effective use of all available space makes this bedroom a lovely place to retreat from the world and be alone with your thoughts.

One of the best features of the Waxahachie is its highly customizable nature. Pratt Homes allows buyers to make changes to almost everything, from the quality of appliances and selection of flooring, to the addition of a back porch or other features they want.
