Characteristics:
A standing-seam metal roof is durable, economical, and a classic choice among traditional Southern cottages.
A crisp coat of white paint unifies the exterior and pops against the lush green foliage that surrounds the home.
A central dormer allows a second-story space but keeps the scale small.
