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…
  • Work from home — dedicated home office provides a private, separated workspace
  • Love covered outdoor living — covered front and rear porches (139 sq ft rear porch) extend entertaining space
  • Want a split-bedroom layout for privacy — master suite separated from secondary bedrooms
  • Need first-floor laundry with garage access for efficient household management
  • Seeking vaulted ceilings in main living areas — 9-foot wall heights with vaulted volumes in keeping room and kitchen
  • Have a lot 40+ feet wide and 50+ feet deep — the design fits 43 ft 8 in by 55 ft
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a very small lot — this plan requires 43 ft 8 in width and 55 ft depth
  • Prefer high ceilings throughout — vaulted ceilings are limited to main living areas
  • Need a basement foundation — slab foundation only
  • Want a compact design under 1,500 sq ft — this plan is 1,588 sq ft

About this plan

Cottage Living with Home Office & Covered Porches

This cottage house plan spans 1,588 square feet of heated living space on a single story, measuring 43 ft 8 in wide by 55 feet deep. The design includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a home office, 2-car garage, and a total structure size of 2,208 square feet. Slab foundation construction keeps costs efficient while maintaining practical single-level living.

The open-concept core features vaulted ceilings and 9-foot wall heights that enhance perceived volume across the keeping room, kitchen, and dining area. A central kitchen island with eating bar is paired with a walk-in pantry, while a dedicated home office provides a private workspace separate from main living zones. A split-bedroom layout places the primary suite in its own wing—complete with private bath, double vanity, and walk-in closet—away from two secondary bedrooms.

A mudroom with first-floor laundry and garage access creates a clean transition between living and utility spaces. The plan also features a 16 sq ft covered front porch and a 139 sq ft covered rear porch, extending outdoor living area. The 2-car front-load garage and efficient 6:12 roof pitch contribute to a traditional cottage exterior profile reaching 20 ft 5 in in height.

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
