oastal Living’s Cottage of the Year, SL-593, is a warm, inviting year-round retreat where
friends and family can relax and enjoy each other’s company. Designed by Eric Moser
of Moser Design Group in Beaufort, South Carolina, the cottage features 2,612 square feet,
4 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths.
The first floor of the main cottage encompasses three distinct living spaces: dining, sitting
and cooking areas. Inside the front door, a dining area replaces a traditional foyer. There’s
plenty of space for a long rectangular table to be extended during the holidays. After
breaking bread, guests can chat next to the large hearth in the adjacent family room. The
hardworking kitchen is equipped for a large family or lots of guests, and the home’s open
floor plan allows the hosts to participate in the party. Just off the kitchen, a screened porch
with a fireplace links the main house to the guest cottage, complete with porch and a loft.
The house brims with built-in character, like shelves that flank the stair landing. Upstairs,
two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. For privacy, a vestibule separates the master
quarters from the main house. Exposed beams add architectural interest to the master
bedroom, which has its own sitting porch.
