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 (home office/study included)
  • Working with a narrow lot (27 ft width, 47.3 ft depth)
  • Want a downsized home with all living on one floor (946 sq ft, one story)
  • Need two full bathrooms in a small footprint (2 bathrooms for 2 bedrooms)
  • Want covered outdoor living and secure vehicle storage (covered front porch, 1-car garage)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need 3+ bedrooms—this plan has 2
  • Require a 2+ car garage—there is only 1 garage bay
  • Want a formal dining room—the home has a great room and kitchen only, no separate dining area

About this plan

Cottage with Home Office and Garage

The Granite Hollow is a compact cottage-style house plan offering 946 square feet of heated living space, optimized for narrow lots with a 27-by-47.3-foot footprint. This one-story design features 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a dedicated home office, making it ideal for downsizers or small households who work remotely. The open-concept great room promotes clear sightlines between the living area and kitchen, while 9-foot ceilings increase the perceived volume of the main living zones.

A central kitchen island serves as the primary workspace, augmented by a walk-in pantry. The split-bedroom configuration separates the primary suite from the secondary bedroom, reducing noise transmission. The primary suite includes a private bathroom with double vanity and walk-in closet access. A dedicated home office provides a quiet environment for remote work, and a separate first-floor laundry room supports household management. The 1-car front-load garage offers secure vehicle storage with direct interior access, keeping the layout compact.

Built on a slab foundation with 2x4 framing, a 6:12 roof pitch, and standing 16 feet 3 inches tall, this design features a covered front porch and delivers cottage character at an efficient scale.
