Charming Three-Bedroom Home with Smart, Open Living Design

Bay View is a single-story traditional cottage house plan providing 1,551 sq ft of heated living space within a 56 ft 9 in wide and 60 ft 7 in deep footprint. Designed to maximize horizontal efficiency, this home utilizes a split-bedroom layout to isolate the primary suite from secondary sleeping quarters, ensuring clear separation of private areas. The exterior profile is defined by a 9:12 and 14:12 roof pitch, resulting in a maximum building height of 24 ft 1.5 in that provides a distinct presence on the lot.

The interior architecture centers on an open-concept great room that anchors the floor plan, connecting directly to the kitchen. This kitchen area is equipped with a central island and a dedicated walk-in pantry, supporting efficient circulation throughout the primary living core. With 9-foot ceilings throughout the main level, the interior volume creates a consistent sense of proportion while maintaining energy-efficient heating and cooling zones.

A 395 sq ft total porch area includes both a covered front porch and a rear porch, facilitating transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The primary suite features a private bath and walk-in closet, with architectural integration providing direct access to the laundry room to streamline household tasks. This 1,551 sq ft layout organizes all living functions on a single level to minimize vertical circulation requirements.

Structural integrity is provided by stick-framed roof construction, supporting the complex roofline and high-pitch aesthetic. The garage area encompasses 575 sq ft with a 2-car front-load capacity, supplemented by 25 sq ft of additional storage space. This configuration keeps the main living structure compact while providing sufficient utility for vehicle storage and equipment housing.
