Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Building on a narrow lot under 40 ft wide—the plan is just 24 ft across (24 by 59 ft footprint)
  • Need 4 bedrooms in a compact footprint without sacrificing livability (1,352 sq ft total)
  • Want a single-story layout with a first-floor master suite and main-floor laundry
  • Seeking vaulted ceilings and open living (kitchen island, walk-in pantry, family room in one open zone)
  • Value efficiency and easy maintenance on a slab foundation
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need multiple garage bays or vehicle storage—this plan has no garage
  • Want a two-story design with upstairs bedrooms—this is single-story throughout
  • Prefer a deeper lot to a narrow one—this design needs narrow width but 59 ft of depth
  • Require a basement—the plan is slab foundation only

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Cottage Plan for Narrow Lots

This 1,352 sq ft cottage house plan delivers four bedrooms and three bathrooms in a compact footprint, measuring just 24 ft in width and 59 ft in depth—ideal for narrow lot configurations. The single-story design features vaulted ceilings, a covered front porch, and an open-concept layout that maximizes the sense of space throughout the home.

The kitchen anchors the main living zone with a central island and a dedicated walk-in pantry, flowing seamlessly into the breakfast area and family room. A split-bedroom configuration places the first-floor master suite—complete with a private bath and walk-in closet—apart from the three secondary bedrooms, ensuring privacy for the primary occupants. The remaining bedrooms share access to two additional full bathrooms, making this plan flexible for families or multi-purpose use.

Nine-foot ceiling heights and the open floor plan work together to enhance the perceived volume of the compact 1,352 sq ft interior. The 8:12 roof pitch and 17 ft 6 in maximum building height maintain a classic cottage profile while providing reliable roof drainage and a distinctive architectural character suited to traditional neighborhoods.
