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…
  • Need a home office for remote work (dedicated home office/study room)
  • Want a single-story layout with no stairs (one-story ranch design)
  • Require three bedrooms and two bathrooms (3 bed, 2 bath configuration)
  • Love covered outdoor living (covered front and rear porches totaling 165 sq ft)
  • Need a 2-car garage for vehicles and storage (448 sq ft front-load garage)
  • Plan to age in place (master suite, laundry, and living all on main floor)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a two-story design to maximize vertical space (single-story only)
  • Require more than three bedrooms (only 3 bedrooms available)
  • Want a compact footprint to minimize build costs (1,591 sq ft is mid-sized)
  • Need a larger garage (only 2-car garage available)
  • Prefer a modern aesthetic (traditional cottage style with 6:12 roof pitch)

About this plan

The 3-Bedroom Cottage House Plan is a 1,591 sq ft single-story residence engineered for efficient land use on lots at least 39 ft wide and 59 ft deep. This design prioritizes a compact footprint while maintaining a traditional aesthetic through its 33 sq ft covered front porch and 6:12 roof pitch. The structure reaches a maximum building height of 19 ft 3 in, providing a balanced profile that integrates well into established neighborhoods.

The interior layout is anchored by an open-concept core, where the kitchen and family room share a sightline to promote natural light penetration. The kitchen features a central island and an eating bar, supported by a dedicated walk-in pantry to maximize storage. A home office is positioned to provide a quiet zone for remote work or study, effectively separating professional tasks from the primary living areas. The 9-foot ceilings throughout the main level enhance the perceived volume of the 1,591 sq ft floor plan.

A private primary suite occupies a dedicated wing, featuring a walk-in closet and a master bathroom equipped with a double vanity. A secondary sitting area within the suite offers a secluded space for relaxation. Two additional bedrooms provide flexible use for guests or family members, while the two full bathrooms are strategically placed to serve both the private quarters and common areas.

Constructed on a slab foundation with 2x4 wall framing, the home is built for long-term structural reliability. The 89 sq ft rear porch extends the living space outdoors, creating a transition zone for seasonal use. The integration of a 448 sq ft, 2-car front-load garage ensures the home remains compact while providing necessary vehicle storage and utility access.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, single-story layout, 1,591 sq ft heated living space, 2-car front-load garage, dedicated home office, open-concept kitchen with island, walk-in pantry, slab foundation, covered front and rear porches.
