Two-Story Cottage with Bonus Room and Full Basement

This 1,800-square-foot cottage home spans two primary stories on a 40-foot-wide by 46-foot-deep lot, designed with an 8:12 roof pitch and accented by steeper 12:12 and 15:12 sections, reaching 26 feet 10 inches in height.

The 520-square-foot upper level contains two secondary bedrooms and a full bathroom, plus a flexible bonus room for a home office, media retreat, or hobby space. A combined 746 square feet of covered porch and deck space transitions indoor to outdoor living.
