The Poor House

Mecklenburg Poor House

She’s called the “Poor House”, but I believe anyone living in such a fine home would be anything but poor.

How can such a simple home be so attractive?

Perhaps… there is great beauty to be found in simplicity.

Let’s look closely at this cottage and see if we can discover what makes this home so special…
By building a small house these homeowners had the financial means to add many special details to their home such as… a masonry chimney, a handcrafted roof, a bay window, lavish landscaping, and dramatic outdoor lighting.
It’s the age old battle of quality vs quantity.
Of course most of us want both… but the reality is that’s often not an option.
These folks chose quality.
What will you choose on your next home?

It’s hard to imagine a more attractive design for a small home than this one…

A sweet little cottage home

A house that is cute… and shy.

Just barely peaking above the fence line.

A modest home… even for it’s day… yet it has two masonry chimneys,  a metal roof, wood siding, a large front porch, and attractive windows… all features missing in most new homes today selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Is this little red house trying to hide behind that pine tree? lol
What a sweet little home.
This house has been “placed” perfectly… visually she is safely tucked-in next to the hillside behind her.
I would have designed and built the addition a little differently… perhaps recessing it a bit so that the charm of the main part of the house was more up “front and center” and thus focusing my eye mainly on it.
But other than that, I’m green with envy over this red charmer.
