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 narrow lot under 60 ft wide — this design fits just 50–59 ft by 50–59 ft
  • Want open-concept layout on a budget — 1,624 sq ft of efficient, modern floor plan
  • Plan to age in place — master suite, laundry, and living all on the main floor
  • Love natural light — numerous windows throughout the open social core
  • First-time or move-up buyer seeking a manageable footprint — compact and easy to maintain
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Have a large family needing 4+ bedrooms — this plan includes 3 bedrooms only
  • Want a 2-car garage — this plan has no garage bays
  • Prefer a larger home for extensive entertaining — 1,624 sq ft is intimate in scale
  • Dislike crawl space foundations — this plan is built on a crawl space

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

The Country Cottage reinterprets the traditional house plan within a compact 1,624 sq ft design that prioritizes open-concept flow and modern interior amenities. This three-bedroom, one-story ranch features a clean architectural profile with numerous windows that flood the interior gathering zones with natural light. The plan centers on a bright and airy open social core combining a voluminous keeping room and gourmet kitchen with high-end cabinetry, a breakfast area, and a kitchen island.

The first-floor master suite is an immaculate sanctuary with high-end finishes and a lavish double-vanity master bath. Secondary bedrooms ensure every resident has a quiet and comfortable space. Outdoor relaxation is prioritized with a generous covered front porch and rear deck area. With two full baths and a thoughtfully planned layout, the Country Cottage delivers a perfect balance of style and daily comfort in a narrow footprint ideal for smaller lots.

  • 3 bedrooms, 2 baths across 1,624 sq ft on one story
