Introducing "The Old Town Cottage," a concept home designed with modern farmhouse warmth, craftsman detail, and deep respect for Georgetown’s historic character. 🌿🏡

This design included a private outdoor living space, covered porches, second-floor balconies, and a detached garage apartment inspired by classic Georgetown carriage houses.

The most meaningful detail? On-site pecan trees, once part of a small orchard, were planned to be milled for the home’s exterior wood accents. A beautiful way to honor the land’s history.
