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.
- • Plan to age in place — first-floor master suite with laundry and living spaces on the main floor
- • Want flexible upstairs space for guests or a creative studio (guest suite and dedicated studio space)
- • Need a first-floor master suite for convenience and privacy (first-floor master with double vanity and walk-in closet)
- • Desire ample parking with a three-car garage (three-car front-load garage)
- • Enjoy outdoor living and entertaining (covered front and back porches)
- • Need 4+ bedrooms — this cottage has 3 bedrooms only
- • Want all living spaces on one floor — this is a two-story plan with guest suite and studio upstairs
- • Prefer a compact, narrow footprint — this design is 90–99 ft wide
