Explore San Diego Cottage Homes For Sale
Cottage-style homes sometimes call to mind the charming hedgerows and rolling pastures of the British countryside. Despite appearances, though, San Diego cottages for sale are as much a part of American architectural heritage as the Ranch home or A-frame, and support unique features and finishes that never existed in their old English counterparts. In the late 19th century, American architects combined late Medieval details like solid-stucco or brick exteriors, large chimneys, and arched entryways with distinctive front-facing gables that were never part of the original designs. The result is something of a hybrid, an idealization of the English cottage.
Though many San Diego cottage-style homes for sale embrace the Tudor revival, others borrow from more immediately recognizable American styles like the Craftsman home or even the Cape Cod. Regardless of the overall style, though, you'll find that these properties have typically undergone extensive renovation and upgrading over the years in order to appeal to contemporary residents. As a result, though they have a lot of character, they don't sacrifice comfort or even luxury to do so. Some of the most attractive features you'll find in these listings include:
- vintage floor tiles or hardwoods
- state-of-the-art kitchen appliances
- wood burning fireplaces
- French doors and bay windows
- extra large garages
