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…
  • Families wanting a charming three-bedroom home with modest footprint (1,596 sq ft, three bedrooms, one story)
  • Seeking a first-floor master suite and laundry for accessibility and organization (direct laundry access from master)
  • Love traditional cottage aesthetics with modern open-plan living (cottage style with vaulted ceilings and open floor plan)
  • Want ample pantry and prep space for cooking (butler's pantry plus walk-in pantry)
  • Prefer generous outdoor living without extensive square footage (covered front and rear porches)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms — this plan includes three bedrooms only
  • Require a garage (no garage included in design)
  • Have a narrow lot under 40 feet wide (design needs 40-49 feet of width)
  • Want maximum square footage for entertaining (1,596 sq ft may feel compact for large gatherings)

About this plan

Cottage Hill captures the essence of traditional cottage living in a charming 1,596 sq ft single-story home designed for contemporary families. This three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence features a striking brick exterior, inviting front porch, and solid slab foundation. Soaring vaulted ceilings and an open-concept core flood the interior with natural light while maintaining the cozy, welcoming aesthetic of a classic cottage.

The open floor plan seamlessly connects the great room and gourmet kitchen, creating a vibrant social hub anchored by a functional island and eating bar. A butler's pantry and walk-in pantry provide the chef ample storage and prep space. The first-floor master suite serves as an immaculate sanctuary with a double vanity bath and generous walk-in closet, while a thoughtfully planned split-bedroom layout ensures every resident enjoys private, quiet space.

Outdoor charm radiates through generous covered front and rear porches perfect for year-round entertaining and enjoying the landscape. A dedicated mudroom, first-floor laundry, and strategic storage throughout maximize daily comfort and organization. The compact 40-by-55-foot footprint keeps building costs reasonable without compromising style.
