Compact 1-Bedroom Home with Master Suite, Open Floor Plan, and Porch

The Kennedy Cottage delivers a highly efficient layout within a 561 sq ft footprint, making it an ideal candidate for narrow lots or compact site requirements. With a total width of 24 ft and a depth of 27 ft 5 in, the architectural profile is dominated by a 96 sq ft covered front porch that provides a transition into the main living zone.

The interior is organized around an open-concept core that integrates the kitchen, dining, and living areas to maximize the usable square footage. A dedicated primary suite occupies the first floor, featuring a walk-in closet for enhanced storage capacity. The inclusion of a first-floor laundry area consolidates utility tasks into the primary living level, maintaining a compact and logical traffic flow throughout the residence.

Standing at a maximum building height of 15 ft 7 in, the structure utilizes 8 ft ceiling heights to maintain a consistent scale throughout the living areas. The design is engineered with a 6:12 roof pitch, which contributes to the traditional aesthetic while providing necessary slope for residential roofing materials. The building is supported by a crawl space foundation and utilizes 2x4 wall framing for structural integrity.

The combination of the open-concept layout and the functional bedroom placement ensures that the 561 sq ft of heated living area is concentrated on core lifestyle needs, making it a viable solution for compact residential living or accessory dwelling unit applications.
