The 42505 Cotter Modern is a ranch-style residence spanning 1,979 square feet of heated living area, optimized for a 60-foot 4-inch wide by 64-foot 4-inch deep footprint. This one-story design features a 138-square-foot covered front porch that establishes a formal entrance, leading into a configuration that prioritizes horizontal circulation and single-level accessibility.
The interior layout centers on an open-concept core where the kitchen, equipped with a central island and a walk-in pantry, maintains direct sightlines into the living space. A split-bedroom configuration separates the primary suite from the two secondary bedrooms to increase acoustic privacy. The primary suite includes a dedicated bathroom and a walk-in closet, while a home office provides a private, quiet zone for remote work or study.
Functional utility is managed through a dedicated mudroom and a first-floor laundry area, which serve as transition points between the living quarters and the garage. The primary living areas feature 10-foot ceilings, which improve natural light penetration and provide a sense of vertical volume throughout the central gathering spaces. The home is framed with an 8:12 roof pitch, contributing to a maximum building height of 24 feet 4 inches.
A 796-square-foot, three-car garage provides substantial storage and vehicle capacity, integrated into the structure to keep the front elevation clear. This plan utilizes a mix of 6:12 and 8:12 roof pitches, creating a profile that balances architectural detail with structural efficiency for a standard suburban lot.
