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…
  • Want single-level living with no stairs — this is a one-story design with all living spaces on the main floor
  • Plan to age in place — owner's suite, laundry, and all primary living areas are on the main level
  • Love brick exterior for durability and curb appeal — the home features brick façade throughout
  • Need convenient laundry access from the garage — laundry connects directly to the rear-entry garage
  • Prefer a main-floor master suite with privacy — the owner's suite is separated from secondary bedrooms with dual-vanity bath
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms for a large family — this plan has 3 bedrooms total
  • Prefer an upstairs master suite — the owner's suite is on the main floor
  • Want a front-entry garage — the garage is rear-entry, preserving the cottage façade
  • Building on a tight budget — the home spans 1,373 heated square feet plus garage and patio areas

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Single-Level Brick Cottage with Main-Floor Master Suite

This charming brick cottage combines the enduring appeal of traditional architecture with the comfort and convenience of single-level living. Containing 1,373 square feet of heated space, the home is designed entirely on one story, making it accessible and practical for homeowners at every stage of life. The design spans 38 feet wide by 63 feet deep and features a welcoming covered front porch, rear-entry garage, and outdoor patio.

The exterior features a durable brick façade that contributes architectural character and long-term durability. A moderate 6:12 roof pitch complements the cottage styling and creates an attractive roofline. Built with 2x6 exterior walls, crawl space foundation, and truss framing, the home combines dependable construction with energy-efficient design principles.

Inside, an open-concept floor plan flows from the family room through the kitchen and into the formal dining room, creating a sense of spaciousness and encouraging natural movement throughout the home. The kitchen features an eating bar for casual meals and a wall pantry for convenient storage. The main-floor owner's suite offers privacy and comfort with a walk-in closet and dual-vanity bath. Two additional bedrooms and a secondary bathroom accommodate family and guests. First-floor laundry with garage access, utility room, and rear-entry two-car garage complete the practical design.

  • Single-story design with no stairs — entire home on one level
  • Main-floor owner's suite with walk-in closet and dual-vanity bath
  • Open-concept living with family room, kitchen, and formal dining flowing together
  • First-floor laundry with convenient access from garage
  • Brick exterior for durability and low-maintenance appeal
