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…
  • Working with a very small lot — only 33 ft wide by 26 ft deep with minimal footprint
  • Need a guest house or accessory dwelling unit — 2 bedrooms, 2 baths in 798 sq ft
  • Want an open floor plan that feels spacious despite the compact size
  • Value first-floor laundry for convenience in a small home
  • Seeking affordable build costs — slab foundation and 2x4 framing prioritize efficiency
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms — this plan has 2 bedrooms only
  • Want a basement or crawlspace foundation — slab foundation only
  • Require a garage or carport — no garage bays or covered parking
  • Seeking 1,000+ sq ft — this plan is only 798 sq ft

About this plan

This compact cottage house plan offers 798 square feet of heated living space in a highly efficient single-story design, measuring just 33 feet wide by 26 feet deep. Perfect for small-lot integration, the plan features 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and an open-concept layout that maximizes usable floor area while minimizing circulation waste.

The interior centers on an open-concept core with a central kitchen island, keeping room, and breakfast area—all connected by clear sightlines. Eight-foot ceiling heights and 2x4 framing create a straightforward, cost-effective structure. A split-bedroom configuration ensures privacy, with one bedroom featuring a walk-in closet and first-floor laundry kept accessible and contained. The wall pantry supports an organized kitchen without visual clutter.

Built on a slab foundation with a 6:12 and 8:12 roof pitch combination, the home reaches a maximum height of 16 feet. This compact footprint functions effectively as a primary residence, accessory dwelling unit, or vacation property, offering modern amenities including a kitchen island and dedicated laundry within a highly efficient 798-square-foot envelope.
