The Marty

1 of 3

This home is part of a three-unit cottage community located across from Essex Park. What was once an oversized and underutilized backyard for the remodeled 1949 home has been thoughtfully transformed into two detached accessory dwelling units.

The featured home offers off-street parking, a private fenced yard, a covered patio, generous space between neighboring homes, exquisite finishes, and is equipped for an electric vehicle charger.


Designed with intention and elegance, these homes have compact footprints that maximize density and minimize carbon emissions. They are 100% electric, EPS certified, and built for energy-efficient living.
