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…
  • Want a compact single-bedroom home with ample garage and storage (1,544 sq ft with three-car garage)
  • Need vaulted ceilings and an open layout to maximize light and perceived space
  • Prioritize first-floor laundry for convenience and efficient household circulation
  • Seek a cottage aesthetic with covered porch access and clear separation between garage and living quarters
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need two or more finished bedrooms — this plan has only one primary bedroom
  • Require a traditional single-story home — the residence is elevated above the garage level
  • Want a larger overall footprint — total living area is 1,544 sq ft

About this plan

Cottage-Style Garage Apartment with Second-Floor Living

The Mayfair Cottage places 1,544 sq ft of residential living above a spacious three-car front-entry garage, with a covered front porch and rear porch creating accessible entries from both sides. Built on a slab foundation with 2x6 wall framing, the design dedicates the entire lower level to 1,423 square feet of parking, storage, and utility space.

The second-floor great room benefits from vaulted ceilings that expand the sense of space and light. An open floor plan flows naturally from the centrally positioned kitchen island and eating bar through the breakfast area and into the main living zone. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet, and the first-floor laundry shortens everyday circulation, keeping essential tasks close to the private living quarters without disrupting the open layout.

  • Vaulted ceilings and open floor plan throughout main living area
  • Kitchen island and eating bar connecting to breakfast area
  • Three-car garage with front entry below residential space
  • First-floor laundry in close proximity to the primary bedroom
