Elegance and class are timeless, and that’s what makes The French-Chic Cottage by Front Porch Properties such a compelling design. This American inspired design draws inspiration from classic Cape-Cod cottages, adding a modern and playful spin with the use of Scyon Linea to the outer. In conjunction with the use of cement weatherboard, the wide verandah and multi-pane windows are the classic touches that make this home a timeless creation. Set in the suburb of Calamvale in Queensland, this cottage is a standout amongst the low-set brick project homes throughout the state. Complete with a garden to die for, it shows us how a true classic never goes out of fashion.
