Charming 1,172 Sq Ft One-Story Cottage occupies a 26' wide by 64'8" deep footprint, making it an efficient solution for narrow lots. This single-level home provides 1,172 square feet of heated living space, incorporating two bedrooms and two full bathrooms into a compact, streamlined layout. The design emphasizes a high-density floor plan that minimizes hallways to maximize usable square footage.
The interior core features an open-concept arrangement where the kitchen island serves as the primary focal point for meal preparation and circulation. Vaulted ceilings reaching 10 feet in the main living areas increase the vertical volume, allowing for improved natural light penetration and a sense of scale that exceeds the physical footprint. Both bedrooms are positioned to include walk-in closets, providing organized storage solutions within the private zones of the home.
Exterior accessibility is integrated through a 115 sq ft covered front porch and a 58 sq ft rear porch, which serve to extend the living environment into the outdoor space. These transitions offer protected entry points and semi-private areas for exterior use. The overall structure is supported by a slab foundation and 2x4 framing, ensuring a durable and traditional construction method for this residential cottage.
The roof framing utilizes an 8:12 truss system, contributing to a maximum building height of 18'1". This specific roof pitch provides a distinct exterior profile while maintaining a manageable height for residential zoning requirements. The mechanical and structural design priorities focus on long-term utility and simplified maintenance for the homeowner.
A front-load single-car garage of 233 sq ft is incorporated into the main structure, providing direct access to the interior while maintaining an unobstructed street-facing elevation. This garage configuration is optimized for narrow lot widths, ensuring that vehicular storage does not compromise the home's compact architectural footprint or the usability of the driveway.
