The inspiration for the design of the Abbot Cottage is the grandeur and beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. The exterior elevation is pleasing to the eye with a blend of gable & shed rooftops. The craftsmanship is evident in the details with heavy beams, large brackets & trim. The Entry is welcoming, tucked into an alcove for a cozy a greeting. The angled stairs & open railing make the Foyer unique & interesting. The Kitchen is positioned behind the staircase giving it an intriguing shape and an accessible location. The corner sink with its expanse of windows floods the Kitchen with light. The angled wall of the staircase creates a perfect setting for an oversized range and hood. The casual setting of the Dining Room with its corner windows reinforces Abbots design theme and yields ample amounts of light for the space. A Deck wraps around the Dining Room to the Screened Porch creating an ideal outdoor living area. The Family Room with its vaulted ceiling is the center of the home, anchored by a massive stone fireplace. French doors on each side of the fireplace extend the indoor space out and provide easy access to the Screened Porch. On the vaulted Porch you will find another stacked stone fireplace and an exposed beam ceiling just right for mountain leisure. The Master Bedroom offers an adjoining Sleeping Porch for enjoying those cool autumn evenings. The Master Bath has a separate glass shower, garden tub, compartmentalized toilet & double vanities, making this bath a relaxing retreat. The two walk-in closets render plentiful space for those with large wardrobes. As you walk Upstairs you enjoy a view into the Family Room from an open staircase, as well as from the open railing of the Balcony. The two secondary Bedrooms offer ample closet space and private Baths. The optional Loft with its triple window is perfect for snuggling up with a good book or just relaxing. This additional space could be utilized as an additional Bedroom if desired. The Abbot is a delightful cottage style home ideal for harmonious family living whether it is your primary dwelling or a weekend get-away.
