This cottage house plan features a floor plan that is small and large at the same time. A very smart layout provides for generous living spaces plus two bedrooms within it's modest 1178 square feet. This is one small yet simple and unique house plan.
The exterior is simple and clean yet dramatic. The form is organized by a steep front-to-back gable that engages with a full width front porch and rear trellis. The sides are punctuated with more modest shed and gable forms. Modern style window units and smart crisp detailing give this house plan a distinctive cottage aesthetic.
Inside the entry door the entire main floor volume is presented with kitchen, dining and living/sitting areas all smartly zoned. The entry and mud room with powder room are placed along the edge of the main space and the open stair lies on the opposite side. Upstairs the two bedrooms are positioned on the front and back of the main gable roof, with laundry and bath areas located conveniently in between.
The house plan comes with a full unfinished basement foundation with crawlspace an add-on option. The basement indicates rough-in locations for a future bathroom.

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.
