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…
  • Want a main-floor master suite with all living areas accessible downstairs (first-floor master, laundry, and mudroom)
  • Need flexible guest or recreation space—upstairs game room accommodates multiple uses
  • Working with a narrow lot—the design is just 39 ft wide
  • Seeking two-story living for privacy between floors while keeping master downstairs
  • Prefer a compact kitchen with smart storage (island and walk-in pantry)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms for a large family—this plan has three bedrooms
  • Want a single-story layout without stairs—this is a two-story design
  • Require a three-car garage or workshop—this plan has two-car garage only

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Two-Story Cottage with Main-Floor Master and Game Room

This two-story cottage design offers 2,148 sq ft of comfortable living with three bedrooms, two full baths, and an additional half bath. The first-floor master suite serves as a private retreat with a double vanity bath and walk-in closet, while the open-concept kitchen and gathering space flow naturally for daily family life. A functional island and walk-in pantry anchor the gourmet kitchen, and first-floor laundry adds convenience to the main level.

Upstairs, a game room and mudroom expand entertainment and storage options. Covered front and rear porches provide year-round outdoor relaxation. The two-car front-load garage and compact 39-ft width make this plan ideal for homes on narrower lots, while the 70–79 ft depth provides comfortable floor space.

Built on a slab or crawl space foundation, Cedar Crest balances multi-generational flexibility with thoughtful design for families seeking versatility and comfort.
