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 deep but very narrow lot (24 ft width, 59 ft depth)
  • Want a single-story layout with no stairs (one-story cottage)
  • Seeking an efficient floor plan on a tight budget (1,120 sq ft total)
  • Plan to age in place with first-floor master and main-level laundry
  • Need a 1-car garage for one vehicle or additional storage (231 sq ft front-load garage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan has 3 bedrooms only
  • Prefer a two-story design — this is a single-story cottage
  • Require a 2+ car garage — this plan has a 1-car garage only
  • Looking for a wider lot configuration — this plan is optimized for narrow (24 ft) widths

About this plan

Efficient Cottage on a Deep Lot

This charming 3-bedroom cottage plan delivers 1,120 sq ft of heated living space on a narrow 24 ft by 59 ft footprint, making it ideal for deep or linear lots with limited width. The one-story open-concept layout centers on a kitchen island connecting the family room and breakfast area, while vaulted ceilings throughout create vertical volume despite the compact square footage.

The first-floor master suite includes a private bath with double vanity and a walk-in closet, positioned away from two secondary bedrooms to maximize privacy. A walk-in pantry and integrated laundry room provide practical utility without consuming additional space. A 15 sq ft covered front porch establishes the entry sequence.

The 231 sq ft front-load 1-car garage attaches directly to the main structure, offering convenient access. The 8:12 roof pitch and 9-foot interior ceilings maintain a classic cottage aesthetic while ensuring efficient drainage and durability. This design is engineered for standard slab foundations and is compatible with tight, narrow lot constraints.
