The Cottages at Wire Mill Homes & Real Estate

Each residence at The Cottages at Wire Mill offers 3,244 square feet of living area — expanding to approximately 5,500 square feet of total usable space, including a full basement, walk-up attic, oversized garage, and storage — across two stories with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Construction is scheduled to begin in summer 2026 with an estimated completion in January 2028.

A defining feature of every home is the dual primary suite layout — one full primary suite on the first floor with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet, and a second primary suite on the second floor with a spa bath and freestanding soaking tub. This configuration allows residents to keep all daily living on one level while using the second floor for guests or family.

Additional features include a full suite of Thermador Masterpiece and Professional Series appliances, quartz countertops and backsplash, all-wood shaker cabinetry throughout, four-inch select white oak hardwood floors on both levels, a ventless natural gas fireplace, primary natural gas heating and A/C on both floors, secondary radiant heat throughout the entire first floor, a three-season sun room, a sunny breakfast nook, custom multi-level closets in every bedroom and 36-inch universal-design interior doors throughout.

Each home's exterior features European Deca tilt-and-turn windows, maintenance-free Celect cellular composite siding, a Drexel Metals roof with a 35-year warranty, and a 42-inch Craftsman Knotty Alder entry door. Outdoor spaces include a fenced backyard with a concrete patio, a fully irrigated lawn, a three-season room with French door access to the patio, and a heated paver driveway with electric snow-melt.

The oversized garage features radiant-heated epoxy floors, a utility sink, and an available EV charging outlet. Each home is also generator-ready with a dedicated subpanel and transfer switch, and is planned with infrastructure for future solar, battery backup, and EV charging.
