The new urban cottage

WHAT TO DO WITH A VACANT LOT ON HARBOR SPRINGS’ WATERFRONT? THE COTTAGE COMPANY ANSWERS THE QUESTION WITH A MODERN INTERPRETATION OF COTTAGE THAT BLENDS BEAUTIFULLY WITH ITS GRACIOUS OLD NEIGHBORHOOD.

Only the handsome black-framed windows and doors are a hint that something fresh and new is going on here. A renovation perhaps?
