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…
  • Working with a narrow lot — the design is just 31 feet 5 inches wide
  • Want a starter home or vacation retreat with all essentials (938 sq ft, 1 bed, 1 bath)
  • Seeking a compact footprint to keep build costs down (900 sq ft heated area)
  • Need flexible upstairs space without a full second bedroom (154-square-foot loft)
  • Prefer master-on-main with first-floor laundry for convenience
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a large family or need multiple bedrooms — this plan has 1 bedroom
  • Need 2+ bathrooms — this design has 1 bathroom
  • Want a sprawling single-story layout — this is a compact cottage with vertical design
  • Require a garage — this plan has no garage bays

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

A359 B1 Holly provides 938 square feet of heated living space within a compact 31-foot 5-inch wide by 36-foot 5-inch deep footprint, making it an efficient choice for smaller lots. This cottage-style design emphasizes vertical volume and natural light, utilizing an 8:12 roof pitch to achieve a maximum building height of 20 feet 6 inches. The exterior features a 222 square foot covered front porch that transitions into the main interior living zone.

The first floor encompasses 784 square feet, organized around an open-concept core that includes a kitchen with an island, a walk-in pantry, and a family room. The primary suite is located on the main level to support convenient access, accompanied by a dedicated laundry area. Vaulted ceilings define the central living area, enhancing the perceived volume of the floor plan and allowing for greater natural light penetration through the common spaces.

A 154 square foot loft occupies the second level, serving as a flexible area that can accommodate a home office, reading area, or secondary sleeping quarters. This space includes a balcony overlooking the main level, maintaining a connection to the primary social area while providing a distinct separation of zones. The structural layout ensures that every square foot is accounted for through integrated storage solutions and a logical traffic flow.

Architectural specifications include 9-foot ceiling heights on the first floor, which work in tandem with the open-concept layout to create a consistent sense of scale. The cottage aesthetic is supported by a board and batten exterior finish, providing a durable and classic profile. This plan is engineered to maximize utility in a minimalist footprint while providing the necessary amenities for a primary residence or a vacation retreat.

Key Features: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 938 sq ft heated area, loft with balcony, vaulted ceilings, 9-foot main level ceilings, 8:12 roof pitch, kitchen island, walk-in pantry, covered front porch, master-on-main layout.
