3-Bedroom Cottage House Plan with Loft & Daylight Basement | 1,974 Sq Ft

Cottage with Loft and Daylight Basement

The Pinecrest cottage-style residence spans 1,974 square feet across a single level with a loft, designed on a narrow 30-by-68-foot footprint suited for suburban or rural parcels. A 369-square-foot covered front porch establishes classic curb appeal, while a 7:12 roof pitch and 19-foot-9-inch maximum height create distinctive cottage character.

The main level offers 1,129 square feet defined by open-concept living with nine-foot ceilings. The kitchen centers on an island and eating bar, while the primary suite sits on the main floor with a walk-in closet and double-vanity bathroom for ease and privacy. A unique loft overlooks the main living space, providing flexible zones for a home office, reading nook, or secondary lounge without dedicating a full bedroom.

The 845-square-foot daylight basement with nine-foot ceilings adds substantial potential for future expansion—recreation rooms, guest quarters, or additional living space—bringing total potential to 2,849 square feet. An attached 506-square-foot two-car garage and first-floor laundry support efficient daily operations. This layout serves aging-in-place needs and multi-generational living with main-floor accessibility and flexibility.
