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 chef kitchen with generous workspace—kitchen island, eating bar, and walk-in pantry
  • Love covered outdoor living—the design includes covered front and rear porches
  • Seeking a distinctive architectural style—the octagon floor plan creates a memorable presence
  • Plan to age in place—master suite, laundry, and entertaining all on the main floor
  • Need space for entertaining—great room with fireplace and formal dining room
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Working with a narrow lot—this design needs 70–79 ft of width and depth
  • Want a compact footprint to keep build costs low—1,793 sq ft is a substantial cottage design
  • Prefer a traditional rectangular layout—the octagon plan may feel unconventional

About this plan

Distinctive Octagon Layout with Generous Entertaining Space

This traditional cottage house plan features a distinctive octagon floor plan that organizes 1,793 square feet of single-story living around a central great room anchored by a fireplace. The geometric form creates a memorable architectural presence while naturally balancing shared living spaces with private retreats.

The great room serves as the central gathering hub, connected to the kitchen through an eating bar and large kitchen island. A formal dining room accommodates special occasions, while a walk-in pantry provides generous storage. The split-bedroom arrangement separates the first-floor master suite from secondary bedrooms, offering privacy with a double vanity, private bath, and walk-in closet. First-floor laundry adds convenience to daily routines.

Covered front and rear porches extend the home's footprint into the surrounding landscape, creating sheltered outdoor entertaining and relaxation spaces. Built on a slab foundation with a spacious 70–79 ft width and depth, this design maximizes usable interior and exterior living. The side-entry two-car garage preserves the home's symmetrical front elevation while providing convenient access.
