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 and need a dedicated office space on the main floor (home office/study included)
  • Want a single-story layout for accessibility and aging in place (one-story cottage with first-floor master)
  • Have a narrow lot under 50 feet wide (plan designed for 48 ft width)
  • Need a primary suite with a sitting area and nearby laundry (master sitting area with laundry access from closet)
  • Want four bedrooms without building a full two-story home (4 bedrooms, including loft balcony as secondary space)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a large family without any multi-level space—the loft balcony is open, not a fully enclosed fourth bedroom
  • Prefer all bedrooms on the main floor (three of four bedrooms are accessed from the upper loft area)
  • Have a lot wider than 49 feet and want a more spacious footprint (48 ft width is the maximum)
  • Want a three-car or larger garage (2-car front-load garage only)

About this plan

Single-Story Cottage with Home Office

This 2,137-square-foot cottage house plan delivers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a first-floor primary suite optimized for a 48-foot-wide lot. The main level features an open keeping room adjoining the kitchen, which includes an island with eating bar and walk-in pantry. A dedicated home office supports remote work, while the primary suite includes a sitting area, dual vanities, and walk-in closet with direct laundry room access.

The single-story design with 9-foot ceilings creates generous vertical space throughout, while the covered front porch and rear porch provide outdoor transitions. Three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms are positioned away from the primary suite, ensuring privacy for family members or guests. The 2-car front-load garage is accessed from the front, and the slab foundation supports straightforward construction on efficiently sized lots.
