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…
  • Have a large family or frequently host extended family (4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms)
  • Need a home office or dedicated study space (main-floor office/study plus loft)
  • Working with a narrow lot—this design is 24 feet 8 inches wide
  • Want main-floor owner's suite with separate laundry access
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need all bedrooms on one level—this plan has master on main floor and 3 bedrooms upstairs
  • Prefer a single-story layout—this is a two-story design with stairs to secondary bedrooms
  • Want a compact footprint under 1,500 sq ft—this plan is 1,812 sq ft

About this plan

Two-Story Cottage With Four Bedrooms and Loft

This craftsman cottage spans 1,812 square feet across two stories on a narrow 24-foot 8-inch wide lot. The 1,321 square foot first floor opens with an open-concept living core: kitchen with island and walk-in pantry flows into the keeping room with 9-foot ceiling heights. The primary suite is positioned on the main level with double-vanity bath and walk-in closet, supported by a home office or study and first-floor laundry.

The 491 square foot second floor expands the home with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a loft area overlooking the main living zones. A 55 square foot covered front porch establishes the entry, while the 8:12 roof pitch maintains classic cottage proportions at a maximum height of 28 feet 2 inches.

  • 1,812 sq ft total living area (4 bed, 3 full bath)
