The Cummings carriage house plan provides 1,458 sq ft of heated living space, expertly configured for those who prioritize a compact, efficient layout without sacrificing outdoor utility. Measuring 36 ft in width and 66 ft in depth, this design utilizes a three-level vertical structure to maximize the footprint of the build. The home stands at a maximum height of 27 ft 9 in, featuring a roof profile with 6:12 and 3:12 pitches that creates a distinct architectural silhouette suitable for diverse residential lots.
The second floor contains the primary living quarters, spanning 1,078 sq ft. This level centers around an open-concept core where the family room, kitchen, and dining area interact to provide a central hub for daily activities. An 8 ft ceiling height on this level maintains a cozy, intimate scale, while the inclusion of a central kitchen island improves workflow and sightlines. The layout incorporates 1 bedroom and 2 full bathrooms, alongside 1 half bathroom, ensuring the upper floor remains a private, comfortable retreat.
The first floor, comprising 380 sq ft, functions as a transition zone, anchored by a spacious 1,112 sq ft, 2-car front-load garage. With 11 ft ceilings in both the garage and the basement, the structure accommodates larger vehicles and heavy-duty storage requirements. A dedicated mudroom serves as a critical buffer between the garage and the interior, while the 1,492 sq ft basement offers significant, versatile square footage for future expansion, workshops, or recreational use.
Structural integrity is maintained through 2x6 wall framing and a truss roof system, designed for durability and thermal efficiency. The home emphasizes outdoor connectivity with 1,307 sq ft of porch area and an expansive 814 sq ft deck, complemented by an outdoor fireplace that extends the usability of the exterior spaces. These features, combined with 3,233 sq ft of unheated under-roof space, provide a highly adaptable living environment for various property needs.
