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 a single-story layout with no stairs throughout (one-story design)
  • Plan to age in place—primary suite, laundry, and living all on main floor
  • Have a large family or multi-generational household (4 bed, 3.5 bath, game room)
  • Need substantial garage space for vehicles or hobbies (3-car, 639 sq ft)
  • Love outdoor entertaining and hosting (covered front and rear porches)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a narrow lot under 50 ft—this design needs 56 ft of width
  • Want a compact footprint to minimize construction costs (2,474 sq ft across one floor)
  • Prefer minimalist outdoor maintenance (covered porches require regular upkeep)
  • Need a two-story design to maximize floor area on tight land

About this plan

One-Story Cottage with Space for Living

This cottage house plan spans 2,474 sq ft across a single story with a 56 ft wide by 63 ft deep footprint, delivering generous space without stairs. The interior centers on an open-concept kitchen, dining, and family room with 9 ft ceilings, a central kitchen island, eating bar, and walk-in pantry. A separate game room provides flexible space for media or recreation. The first-floor primary suite features a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with double vanity, while three secondary bedrooms share two full bathrooms and one powder room—ideal for multi-generational living or home offices.

Outdoor entertaining is enhanced by covered front and rear porches. A mudroom connects the 3-car garage (639 sq ft) directly to the home, managing entry traffic efficiently. First-floor laundry and a foyer complete the thoughtful layout. The 6:12 roof pitch and 22 ft 7 in maximum building height give the exterior a classic cottage presence that suits suburban and rural neighborhoods alike. Built on a slab foundation, the design prioritizes straightforward construction and daily livability.

  • One-story design—no stairs to navigate
  • First-floor primary suite with sitting area and double-vanity bath
