  • This is an expanded version of our popular cottage house plan 18222BE and gives you an extra bedroom suite located by the garage. Three shed dormers, a barrel arched covered entry and 2-car garage set off at an angle combine to create a beautiful home.
  • Inside, abundant windows maximize views and natural light. The dormer over the foyer brings additional light into the living, dining and kitchen areas.
  • Wide hallways and doorways make for easy traffic flow, even for those that need Barrier Free Access. The front flex room off the foyer is perfect for a den or home office.
  • The kitchen is designed for both efficiency and aesthetics. The large island aids in food preparation, additional storage and allows for a nice seating area. There are both pantry cabinets and a spacious closet pantry.
  • The owners' suite has an attractive bay window with window seat. The handsome master bath has an extra spacious shower.
  • The bonus second floor gives you a full bedroom suite with a kitchenette making this great for long term visitors, an in-law or nanny suite.
  • The 2-car garage is wider and deeper than most garages, with 10'-wide by 8'-high doors.
  • Related Plans: Eliminate the bonus level with house plan 18241BE.
  • Several versions eliminate the main floor guest suite. House plan 18222BE has a smaller bonus level while 18221BE retains the bonus suite. Get a 3 car garage and large bonus level with house plan 18249BE.
  • Get finished lower levels with house plans 18238BE (3,994 sq. ft. with elevator), 18223BE (3,432 sq. ft.).
  • Get a dramatic screened porch off the master suite with house plan 18245BE (3,253 sq. ft.).

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.
