The Reggie Award: A Standard of Excellence

Since its inception in 1968, the Reggie Award has recognized builders for exemplary achievement in crafting homes that set the standard in design, quality, and innovation. Unlike other industry accolades, the Reggie Award is judged by the builders' peers — seasoned professionals with a discerning eye for detail. This rigorous process highlights only the finest work in the industry, and the Coastal Cottage on the Green stood out as an exemplary model, inspiring the judges and the public alike during the Fall Parade of Homes.

“The homes awarded our prestigious Reggie Award are truly exceptional,” said Housing First Minnesota CEO, James Vagle. “The builders and industry professionals who carefully evaluate each home bring a discerning and knowledgeable eye toward quality in their selection of the winners.”

A Stunning Showcase: The Coastal Cottage on the Green

Nestled along the 16th hole of the Royal Golf Club, the Coastal Cottage on the Green is a true testament to Hartman Homes’ commitment to quality and sophistication. Its exterior features a harmonious blend of James Hardie siding and elegant stone accents, which highlight the inviting, covered front porch. The home’s charming curb appeal and seamless integration with the natural surroundings make it a standout in the community, offering residents both beauty and function.

Inside, the Coastal Cottage spans a generous 2,164 square feet on the main level alone, showcasing a layout that perfectly balances open-concept living with intentional, intimate spaces. The great room captivates with vaulted ceilings adorned with floating beams, and an expansive wall of windows that frames picturesque views of the pond and golf course beyond. As evening approaches, these windows capture the glow of sunset, filling the room with warmth and enhancing its inviting atmosphere.

Adjacent to the great room is the dining area, a space defined by its stunning floating soffit and modern linear chandelier. With floating alabaster discs, the chandelier is both a functional light source and an artistic feature, anchoring the dining area in sophistication and luxury. Together, these elements form a setting that feels both grand and personal, ideal for hosting dinner parties or enjoying quiet family meals.

A Dream Kitchen and More

The heart of the Coastal Cottage is undoubtedly its kitchen. Designed with both form and function in mind, this culinary haven is equipped with custom painted cabinetry, durable quartz countertops, and Jenn-Air panel-ready appliances. Each feature has been thoughtfully chosen to enhance the kitchen’s aesthetic appeal while delivering the utmost convenience. A working pantry, cleverly tucked just off the main kitchen area, provides additional space for storage and makes hosting effortless by offering room for preparation and organization.

The dining area opens up to the vaulted covered porch, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow that is ideal for entertaining. This space, complete with retractable Phantom Screens, a built-in fireplace, and a grill, offers everything needed to make outdoor gatherings memorable. Whether hosting a summer barbecue or enjoying a peaceful evening by the fire, this porch is a year-round extension of the living space, enhancing the cottage’s charm and livability.

The Luxurious Primary Suite

One of the Coastal Cottage’s highlights is the primary suite, a luxurious retreat that offers breathtaking views of the golf course. Designed to provide a tranquil escape from the daily hustle, this suite features large windows that bring in ample natural light, creating a calming, spa-like ambiance. The ensuite bathroom, complete with a soaking tub, dual sinks, and custom oak cabinetry, has been designed with both relaxation and luxury in mind. Every detail, from the high-end finishes to the thoughtful layout, reflects Hartman Homes’ commitment to creating spaces that inspire.

Sophisticated Lower Level for Entertaining

The lower level of the Coastal Cottage is as impressive as the main floor, designed with entertaining in mind. A sleek glass and wood railing leads down to a spacious family room, where a fireplace and television provide the perfect setup for cozy movie nights or sports watch parties. The large wet bar and game table area offer ample room for social gatherings, while additional bedrooms and a fitness room ensure comfort and convenience for overnight guests.

Stepping out from the lower level, residents are greeted with a patio that leads directly onto the golf course, bringing the serene beauty of the greens right to their doorstep. Whether watching golfers play through or simply enjoying the scenery, this outdoor space exemplifies the lifestyle that Hartman Homes aims to create for its residents — one of luxury, comfort, and connection to nature.
