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 narrow lot—the design is just 28 feet wide
  • Want a first-floor master suite with privacy from secondary bedrooms (split-bedroom layout)
  • Need a walk-in pantry for high-density kitchen storage
  • Prefer 10-foot ceilings for an open, airy feel in a compact footprint (1,295 sq ft)
  • Seeking a single-story layout with no stairs (one-story cottage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a large family needing 4+ bedrooms—this plan has 3 bedrooms total
  • Need a 2+ car garage—this design includes only a single-car garage
  • Require significant square footage—this plan is 1,295 sq ft total
  • Want a two-story design—this is a single-story plan
  • Need a formal dining room separate from the great room—dining is open to the living area

About this plan

The Rose Cottage is a single-story residence spanning 1,295 square feet of heated living space, specifically engineered for narrow lots with its 28-foot width and 65-foot 4-inch depth. This cottage-style plan prioritizes architectural character through a steep 10:12 roof pitch and a 23-foot maximum building height, ensuring a distinct residential profile that maximizes vertical volume.

The interior architecture centers on an open-concept great room where 10-foot ceilings enhance natural light penetration and visual scale. This central social core incorporates a fireplace and provides direct sightlines into the kitchen, which features a central island with an integrated eating bar. A dedicated walk-in pantry provides high-density storage, maintaining the efficiency of the main living area while supporting meal preparation and organization.

A split-bedroom layout separates the primary suite from the two secondary bedrooms to increase privacy. The primary suite includes a private bathroom and an oversized walk-in closet, while the remaining bedrooms share access to a full bathroom. A powder room is strategically positioned to serve guests without requiring entry into the private bedroom wing, and a dedicated laundry room provides essential utility near the living zone.

Structural integrity is achieved through 2x4 wall framing and traditional stick roof framing, adaptable to either a slab or crawlspace foundation. The design incorporates a 301-square-foot front-load 1-car garage, which is scaled to maintain the home’s narrow footprint while offering sufficient space for vehicle storage or additional workshop requirements.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, 10-foot ceilings, first-floor master suite, open-concept great room, kitchen island with eating bar, walk-in pantry, 1-car front-load garage, 10:12 roof pitch.
