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…
  • Need a single-level layout with 4 bedrooms for a growing family (no stairs, all bedrooms on main floor)
  • Have 3+ vehicles or need workshop space — this 3-car garage totals 566 sq ft
  • Want a first-floor master suite in a one-story home (primary suite on main level with split-bedroom layout)
  • Require a mudroom for organized entry and traffic control (dedicated mudroom included)
  • Enjoy outdoor entertaining with covered front porch access
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need more than 4 bedrooms — this plan has 4 bedrooms only
  • Prefer a two-story design — this is a single-story cottage
  • Want 3+ full bathrooms — the plan has 2 full baths and 1 half-bath
  • Have a narrow lot under 50 feet wide — this design needs 49 feet of width and 54.5 feet of depth

About this plan

Single-Story Four-Bedroom Cottage with Three-Car Garage

This elegant cottage house plan delivers 1,854 square feet of single-level living on a 49-by-54-foot-6-inch footprint, combining open-concept social zones with a split-bedroom layout for privacy. The main living area integrates the kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room with 9-foot ceilings and is anchored by a central kitchen island and walk-in pantry. The primary suite features a double-vanity master bath and walk-in closet, while a mudroom and dedicated laundry provide organized transitions and service.

Three secondary bedrooms occupy the opposite end of the floor plan, ensuring separation from the owner's suite and main living activities. The 3-car garage spans 566 square feet, offering ample vehicle storage and potential workshop utility. With a maximum building height of 22 feet 9 inches achieved through layered roof pitches (8:12 and 10:12), the design balances architectural interest with a compact footprint suited for efficient site placement.
