This compact two-story cottage is perfect for a narrow lot. Depending on the placement of its doors, the garage can be accessed from either the rear or the side.
A covered porch shelters entry to the home, where most of the first floor comprises one open space. Large windows and a fireplace are featured in the living room, and an optional two-foot cantilever with French doors can replace the dining room windows.
The family area is sited in the rear. An angled island with a snack bar and a cooktop divides the kitchen from the rest of the area. Completing the first floor is a laundry-utility area with a full bath.
Upstairs, the master suite is sited for privacy. Here you find a walk-in closet and a bath with twin sinks. A hall bath, with a washer/dryer, serves bedrooms two and three.

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

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 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)
