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…
  • Working with a narrow lot — the design is just 28 feet wide and 28 feet deep
  • Building on a coastal or elevated site requiring a pier foundation for resilience
  • Want 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms (each second-floor bedroom has its own full bath)
  • Seeking a compact vacation home or permanent coastal retreat (1,144 sq ft across two stories)
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a main-floor master suite — both bedrooms are upstairs on the second floor
  • Require a 2-car garage or significant storage — this plan includes a single-car garage only
  • Want a sprawling footprint — this narrow, compact design minimizes lot coverage

This plan tends to appeal to:

About this plan

Coastal Two-Story Cottage for Narrow Lots

The Gray House is a compact coastal and Low Country-style residence with 1,144 square feet of heated living area, designed for a narrow 28-foot footprint. This two-story structure maximizes efficiency on restricted lots while maintaining a traditional aesthetic, featuring a 168 square foot covered front porch and pier foundation suitable for elevated or waterfront sites.

The first floor encompasses 616 square feet anchored by a keeping room that serves as the central social zone, with 9-foot ceilings that enhance the sense of scale. A half bathroom supports the main living area. The second floor provides 528 square feet configured with 2 bedrooms, each equipped with a walk-in closet and its own ensuite bathroom, featuring 8-foot ceiling heights for privacy and comfort.

Structural integrity is provided by 2x6 exterior wall framing and a pier foundation, with a 10:12 roof pitch that reaches 33 feet 2 inches in height. A single-car garage occupies the ground level, providing vehicle storage integrated into the 28-foot by 28-foot footprint.
