    Stories

  • This home plan proves that good things come in small packages. With only 700 sq. ft. this cottage lives larger than its space measures.
  • The exterior offers life pine shakes and large wood posts with brackets and exposed beams.
  • A vaulted living room greets you as you enter with its exposed beams and stacked stone fireplace. This vaulted room adds volume while corner windows and a French door flood the room with natural light.
  • The kitchen, open to the living and dining areas, adds to the comfortable spacious feeling of the space.
  • The laundry room / linen closet is located just a step away from the kitchen.
  • The bedroom is conveniently located near the laundry and bath areas and includes a fireplace.
  • The bedroom also provides abundant light with its multiple windows and grants deck access through its French door.
  • If efficiency and mountain charm are important to you then this house plan, with its rustic accents, is the cottage for you.

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)

Includes the quantity, type and size of materials needed to build your home.

NOTE:
If you want to purchase this plan in reverse, please select "readable reverse" or "mirror reverse" under Options above.
