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-story living with no stairs (one-story ranch design)
  • Need a 2-car garage for vehicles and equipment (front-load configuration with 394 sq ft)
  • Require split-bedroom privacy (master suite separated from guest bedrooms)
  • Want covered outdoor living spaces (covered front and rear porches)
  • Seeking a home office or guest bedroom with separate access (three bedrooms, split layout)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 4+ bedrooms—this plan has 3
  • Want a 3-car or larger garage—this has a 2-car garage only
  • Prefer a narrow lot under 40 feet wide—this design is 35 ft 8 in wide by 56 ft deep
  • Looking for a master suite upstairs—the master is on the main floor

About this plan

Single-Story Cottage with Garage and Split Bedrooms

This 1,385 sq ft cottage house plan delivers efficient single-level living on a footprint of 35 feet 8 inches by 56 feet. The open-concept design centers on 9-foot ceilings, a kitchen island, eating bar, and walk-in pantry, anchored by a keeping room that integrates with formal dining and social zones.

A split-bedroom layout separates the master suite from two secondary bedrooms, maximizing privacy throughout the home. The master features a double-vanity bathroom and walk-in closet, while first-floor laundry serves all three bedrooms. The design includes 444 sq ft of unheated areas, comprising covered front and rear porches that extend outdoor living and protect the entry.

The 2-car front-load garage provides 394 sq ft of vehicle and equipment storage with direct interior access. Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 framing and an 8:12 roof pitch, the home reaches 21 feet 5 inches tall and totals 1,829 sq ft including porches and garage.
