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 (25 ft wide by 27 ft 6 in deep)
  • Need 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in a compact design (all with private bathrooms)
  • Want a first-floor bedroom for flexibility (guests, aging-in-place, or home office)
  • Require laundry upstairs near bedrooms (second-floor laundry)
  • Seeking a home office space integrated into the main floor (dedicated study/office room)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Prefer single-story living to avoid stairs (this is a two-story plan)
  • Want a garage—none is included in this design
  • Need a lot wider than 39 feet—this plan requires approximately 25 ft of width
  • Looking for 4+ bedrooms—this plan has 3

About this plan

Three-Bedroom Cottage for Vertical Living

This 1,328 sq ft cottage house plan delivers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across two stories on a footprint of 25 by 27 feet 6 inches. The design is optimized for narrow or urban lots, with the main level spanning 652 sq ft and the second floor accounting for 676 sq ft of heated living space.

The main level centers on an open-concept great room connected to the kitchen, featuring a central island for workspace. A first-floor bedroom with full bathroom provides flexibility for guests or aging-in-place living, while a dedicated home office creates a quiet zone for remote work. Upstairs, the master suite includes a walk-in closet and double-vanity bathroom, with a second bedroom and full bathroom served by second-floor laundry.

Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 framing, the home features an 8:12 roof pitch, 8-foot ceilings throughout, and a covered front porch. This efficient arrangement delivers three private bedrooms and bathrooms without wasting space on unnecessary corridors.
