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…
  • Building on a narrow lot under 40 feet wide (25-foot building width)
  • Want a primary or secondary dwelling unit with minimal site footprint (963 sq ft, ADU-compatible layout)
  • Need all living essentials on one floor with no stairs (one-story ranch)
  • Seeking efficient layout with first-floor master suite and laundry on the main level
  • Looking for a cottage aesthetic with covered entry (covered front porch, 8:12 roof pitch)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms — this plan has only 2 bedrooms
  • Require a garage or carport — this design has no garage bays
  • Want a larger footprint for expanded square footage — this is a compact 963 sq ft plan
  • Prefer a two-story layout to maximize vertical space

About this plan

Compact One-Story ADU Home

This cottage-style house plan delivers 963 square feet of efficient living space in a 25-foot-wide footprint, making it ideal for narrow lots or as a secondary dwelling unit. The one-story layout features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open-concept core where the kitchen island, keeping room, and dining area share a unified space with 10-foot ceiling heights that enhance the sense of scale.

The primary suite occupies the main floor with a walk-in closet, while the second bedroom is positioned in a clustered layout for privacy. First-floor laundry keeps utility centralized and accessible. A 44-square-foot covered front porch establishes the entry, and the 8:12 roof pitch contributes to the home's cottage aesthetic. The design is built with traditional stick-frame construction and reaches a maximum height of 18 feet.

This plan adapts well to primary residences, guest accommodations, or rental applications on compact lots.
