Cost to build a Storybook Home
Many clients request information about the building costs for a Storybook Home. The answer is, it all depends. Actual costs depend on location and what materials and fixtures you choose to use. We have specified materials for our cottages which could be considered very “high-end”. We suggest utilizing the most beautiful materials and fixtures you can find. But, there are great substitute materials and fixtures which can lower the cost of construction. Additionally, if you throw in a little of your own elbow grease you can create something beautiful, with authentic storybook features for much less.
Construction costs can vary anywhere from $75/sq.ft to over $400/sq.ft, it all depends upon your choices as the cottage owner.
