Charming 1,421 Sq Ft Craftsman Cottage with Bonus Space and Optional Basement

Wiggins 1421 B is a Craftsman-style cottage spanning 1,421 sq ft on the main level, designed for a 46 ft 11 in width and 53 ft depth footprint. This plan features an 8:12 primary roof pitch with a maximum building height of 25 ft 9 in, establishing a distinct vertical profile. The structure includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a 2-car garage providing 594 sq ft of vehicle storage.

The interior architecture centers on a split-bedroom layout that isolates the primary suite from secondary rooms to maintain acoustic privacy. The kitchen serves as the primary hub, equipped with a central island and an adjacent walk-in pantry that connects to the laundry room. A keeping room and dining area share an open-concept core, allowing for sightlines that extend from the kitchen to the rear of the home.

Vertical volume is a key component of the design, with 10-foot ceilings on the first floor and 9-foot ceilings in the 504 sq ft upstairs bonus room. This upper-level flex space offers utility for a home office, media retreat, or guest accommodation. The structure is further supported by an optional 988 sq ft finished walkout basement, allowing for significant square footage expansion based on site topography.

External connectivity is achieved through a 562 sq ft covered lanai featuring an outdoor fireplace, creating a transition zone between the interior family room and the rear yard. The 2-car garage is configurable as either attached or detached, accommodating varying lot orientations while preserving the front elevation's aesthetic. The 1,421 sq ft main level is optimized for efficient circulation and high-density interior usage.

Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, split-bedroom layout, 504 sq ft bonus room, 10-foot first-floor ceilings, walk-in pantry, kitchen island, covered lanai with fireplace, optional 988 sq ft finished walkout basement, 2-car garage.

JoAnne and the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with us while we decided between 2 homes. This home has outstanding curb appeal and a great layout perfect for us. I work from home so having the home office off the foyer is fantastic. I converted the wet bar into a storage closet for my office. We also extended the laundry room into the porch and created a multipurpose laundry/mud room. I would buy from archival designs again and again.

It took almost a year to pick a plan. Since my husband and I retired a few years ago we wanted this last house had to have everything we wanted and needed. The kitchen is my favorite part of the house. I can see what’s happening in my neighborhood through my kitchen window and watch my husband garden in the back yard. Our children think we made a smart decision when we picked this house for our senior years.

We’ve had an amazing experience with our new home and are excited to be moved in. The customer service we received during our modifications was exceptional. We are loving the open layout of the kitchen and family room. It feels spacious and I’m already planning on hosting holiday dinners at home. We recommend Archival Designs to anyone interested in building the home they’ve always wanted!

We absolutely adore the Kildare Place house plan. Made some modifications to make this home ours! Our house is the talk of the neighborhood. We host big parties every holiday and still get compliments from our friends and family. We searched for months and looked through hundreds of floor plans and this one had almost everything we wanted, and with the help of the great staff at Archival Designs we got exactly what we wanted!

FAQ

Can I modify this Charming 1,421 Sq Ft Craftsman Cottage with Bonus Space and Optional Basement now or later?

Absolutely. We offer in-house modification services to adjust layouts, room sizes, or expand garages before purchase. If you prefer to make adjustments during the construction phase, purchasing the CAD file package allows your local builder or architect to make on-site changes. Simply click 'Request a Modification' for a free quote.

How much will it cost to build this Charming 1,421 Sq Ft Craftsman Cottage with Bonus Space and Optional Basement and why aren't exact costs shown? 

Construction costs vary significantly ($150–$300+ per sq. ft.) based on your location, material choices, and local labor rates. Because site preparation and regional codes differ, it is hard to provide a universal cost always.

Will this Charming 1,421 Sq Ft Craftsman Cottage with Bonus Space and Optional Basement fit my lot, and can I add a basement or flip the layout?

You can check the 'Modifications' tab for width and depth requirements. To fit your site's orientation, most plans are available in a 'Right Reading Reverse' (mirrored) format. We also offer slab, crawlspace, and basement foundation adjustments for every design.

Do your plans meet building codes in my area and do I need a professional stamp?

Our plans meet or exceed national IRC (International Residential Code) standards. However, due to varying local requirements regarding seismic, wind (hurricane), or snow loads, house plans do not come with a professional architect’s or engineer’s seal. Most municipalities require a review and stamp by a local licensed professional to obtain a building permit.

Are plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical drawings included?

We provide the architectural and schematic electrical framework, but HVAC and plumbing layouts are not included. Because local codes and climate-specific systems vary significantly across the country, these are best finalized by your local subcontractors to ensure your home’s systems are optimized for your specific site and energy requirements.

Why should I choose Archival Designs and are the plans guaranteed?

With over 40 years of experience, Archival Designs provides high-quality, builder-ready designs that balance aesthetic elegance with structural integrity. We offer a Best Price Guarantee, a 10% discount for military and first responders, as well as builder discounts for life. And loyalty perks for pro builders. All plans are designed to comply with the IRC codes at the time of their creation. Learn more about our Best Price Guarantee.
