About this plan

Created for a narrow lot, this 758 sq ft Cottage home makes efficient use of its compact footprint while maintaining a comfortable sense of openness. The single-story layout arranges two bedrooms around shared living spaces, with the first-floor owner's suite providing convenient accessibility. Covered front and rear porches extend the home beyond its interior walls, giving the design additional usable space without increasing its width.

The open floor plan centers on a great room that connects naturally to the kitchen and breakfast area, allowing the main living spaces to feel larger than the home's dimensions suggest. Clear circulation reduces unnecessary hallways, making movement between rooms direct and efficient. The owner's suite includes a private bath and walk-in closet, while the second bedroom is positioned to support guests or everyday flexibility without interrupting the flow of the central gathering area.

The covered front porch establishes a welcoming entrance, while the rear porch offers an additional outdoor retreat for relaxing or dining outside. With its narrow-lot proportions and single-story arrangement, this Cottage design is well suited for smaller building sites where efficient planning is essential. 👉 View floor plans, photos, and pricing to get started today.
