The symmetrical front elevation of this square, cottage plan lends a sense of comfort, while the metal roof adds a modern element to the traditional country charm. A shed dormer completes the design.
An 8 foot deep front and back porch encourages outdoor living, while half of the back porch is screened to help eliminate bugs.
A powder bath rests just inside the front entry, near a hall closet. L-shaped kitchen counters overlook a breakfast nook, and a centrally located laundry room adds convenience while providing access to the master bathroom.
The fireplace can be enjoyed throughout the living room and attached dining room, with access to the back porch.
The master suite resides on the main level, and features a walk-in closet and full bathroom. Upstairs, a loft greets you at the top of the stairs, and leads to three secondary bedrooms that share a 4-fixture bath.

What is Included in Our Plans?

All of our plans are designed by licensed architects and residential building designers. Each plan is designed to meet nationally recognized building codes for the year they were created.

No two plans are the same. We strongly encourage you to contact us for the contents of any plan you may be interested in purchasing.

Below is a listing of sheets typically included in our plans:

Foundation Plan

shows the foundation details.

Floor Plan

shows the placement of interior walls and the dimensions for rooms, doors, windows, stairways, etc. of each level of the house.

Exterior Elevations

show the front, rear and sides of the house, including exterior materials, details and roof pitches.

Building Cross Section

shows details of the house as though it were cut in slices from the roof to the foundation. The cross sections detail the construction of the home, insulation, flooring and roofing.

Building Code

Because of the wide range of requirements throughout states and municipalities, it is possible that the plans may not have all of the information required by your building department. If this is the case, we recommend hiring a local design professional or engineer who can assist bringing the plans up to your local building code.

Engineering

Some states require that a licensed architect or engineer review and stamp the plans. If this is the case where you will be building, a local professional will be able to assist you.

Important Extras: Sold separately

Readable reverse Plans

The layout is reversed and all the writing is corrected so you can read the writing. With this option, all of your sets will appear the way you want to build the home. This option is available for an additional charge.

Mirror Reverse Plans

The lettering and dimensions will read backwards, so you will need to order at least one set non-reversed as a reference copy.

Itemized List of Materials (when available)
