This is the story of Roger’s Cottage, a 675-sq.-ft. retreat in the heart of Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina.
It was a historic preservation move where the entire cottage was relocated, and Scott and Ashley of The Hive Drive Bus are here to show it to us.

Is that a double fire place? Use to live in a house that had a double fire place. This is real nice. I see the door is antiqued? I have always like that. Beautiful cottage.
In the US during the 50s the avg sq ft home was 700 and a big house 1500. Looking at this 675 sq ft shows how little we need to be happy and how much less a home could be built for and paid off sooner.
Completely agree, Lantz!
What a cute – and ROOMY – cottage! Love it! And it looks like it meets most city ordinances. Thanks for the tour.
Oh come on. Those doors are weather beaten nightmares, supposedly distressed, which is another word for… yep, you guessed it, weather beaten nightmares.
