Downtown Cottage

A white house with a brick fence and a black gate.

This charming 614 square foot accessory dwelling unit in Fernandina Beach's historic district serves as a thoughtful residence for the main home owner's mother. Though compact, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage offers comfortable living with aging-in-place features including a walk-in curbless shower.

The efficient floor plan incorporates a kitchen with pantry and 7-foot island, stacked washer/dryer, and a cozy living area with a brick gas fireplace and vaulted ceiling.

Architectural details honor the historic context while providing modern comfort, featuring cementitious board and batten siding, 5V crimp metal roofing, sand-finished stucco water table and chimney, and double-hung windows.

A welcoming porch with retractable awning extends the living space, while Bahama shutters provide privacy. Interior finishes include shiplap siding in the living room and engineered wood flooring throughout.

The cottage's central location offers the owner walkable access to downtown restaurants and shops.
