Northern Virginia-based Classic Cottages provides turnkey solutions for Arlington families looking to build or buy a new home. Whether it’s a carefully crafted model home or a custom home built from scratch, Classic Cottages can handle everything from concept to completion through its skilled in-house acquisitions, sales, architecture, design and construction departments.

Classic Cottages is a top homebuilder in the Northern Virginia region, often standing out among fellow local homebuilders because of its unique organizational make-up. With all building facets housed under one roof, Classic Cottages has created a consistent, reliable and truly unique home building experience for its clients over the past 13 years. 

Other builders typically need to outsource one or more aspects of the home building process. “We believe our value to Arlington residents lies in having the team all in-house,” says Evan Muelenaer, Classic Cottages VP of Operations. “That allows us to deliver a cohesive and seamless building experience for our clients.”
