Upon crossing the threshold, you’re greeted by an interior that effortlessly blends old-world charm with modern convenience. The open floor plan creates an immediate sense of expansiveness, with each area flowing seamlessly into the next.

Natural light pours in through expansive windows, casting a warm glow upon the hardwood floors and illuminating every corner of the cottage. The carefully curated decor pays homage to the cottage’s historic roots while embracing contemporary comforts. Timeless design elements such as crown molding, wainscoting, and beadboard paneling add character and sophistication to every room.
Design Tip: The windows are slightly larger than an average window to allow more light to enter the home. Window size is 3.5 by 7 feet.
Despite its petite footprint, this Tallahassee guest cottage embodies the essence of gracious living. Here, every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the classic architecture to the modern amenities, creating a space that feels both timeless and utterly inviting.
