Southpointe Cottages Homes for Sale | Signature Screened Porches

Community Overview

Southpointe Cottages stands as Simpsonville's premier modern Craftsman community, where contemporary design meets maintenance-free living. Built entirely between 2021 and 2024, this intimate 83-homesite neighborhood offers the rare combination of new construction quality with an established community feel. The development's signature feature - screened porches with outdoor gas fireplaces - has become the gold standard for outdoor living in the Simpsonville market.

"Nearly 9 in 10 homes feature dual gas fireplaces and screened porches - making year-round outdoor entertaining the norm, not the exception."

Architectural Excellence & Modern Design

The community showcases upscale Craftsman-style homes with concrete plank and stone exteriors, rocking chair front porches, and meticulously designed interiors. These aren't builder-grade homes - extensive customization is standard, with most residences featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with soft-close drawers, luxury vinyl plank or hardwood flooring throughout the main level, and high-end appliances from brands like KitchenAid and GE Cafe. Open-concept floor plans with 10-foot ceilings and oversized windows create bright, airy living spaces centered around stone-wrapped gas fireplaces.

The typical configuration places the primary suite on the main level with spa-inspired en suites featuring frameless walk-in showers, soaking tubs, dual vanities, and custom walk-in closets with built-in Carolina Closet systems. Upstairs, flexible loft spaces with skylights serve as bonus rooms, home offices, or media rooms, complemented by two additional bedrooms. Premium upgrades like barn doors, shiplap accent walls, custom lighting fixtures, motorized window treatments, and radiant barrier insulation are commonplace rather than exceptional.

Outdoor Living Perfection

The defining characteristic of Southpointe Cottages is its commitment to outdoor living. Oversized screened porches - many measuring 24x12 feet - extend living space beyond four walls, complete with outdoor gas fireplaces, cathedral ceilings, and pre-wiring for televisions. Several homes feature fenced backyards with extended patios, outdoor showers, and even pre-wired hot tub spaces. The community itself enhances this outdoor lifestyle with walking trails connecting throughout the neighborhood, leading to a central communal fire pit - perfect for evening gatherings with neighbors.

"HOA-maintained irrigation systems and full-service lawn care free residents from yard work, allowing more time to enjoy the community's pedestrian-friendly trails and sidewalks."

Situated in one of Simpsonville's most convenient corridors, Southpointe Cottages offers easy access to I-385 (minutes away), Fairview Road shopping and dining, and the Publix at Standing Springs.
