The 2-Bedroom Cottage House Plan by WL Martin Home Designs is a compact, single-story residence engineered for narrow lots, measuring 22 feet in width and 50 feet 8 inches in depth. Spanning 1,011 square feet of heated living space, this cottage leverages a modest footprint to maximize interior volume through strategic architectural choices. The structure is defined by an 8:12 roof pitch and a total building height of 16 feet 10 inches, lending the exterior a traditional profile while maintaining structural simplicity.
The interior layout centers on an open-concept core where the kitchen, dining area, and family room share a unified footprint. Vaulted ceilings rise above the main living zone, enhancing the sense of scale and improving natural light penetration throughout the common areas. A central kitchen island serves as the primary workspace, complemented by an integrated eating bar and a walk-in pantry that removes the need for excessive cabinetry, keeping the sightlines clear toward the dining and family spaces.
Privacy is maintained through a split-bedroom configuration, placing the primary suite in a dedicated zone away from the secondary bedroom. The master suite features a walk-in closet and a private bathroom equipped with a double vanity. A second full bathroom is situated to serve both the secondary bedroom and common areas, while a dedicated first-floor laundry area provides centralized utility to support the single-level living arrangement.
Constructed on a slab foundation with 2x4 wall framing, the design prioritizes efficient assembly and long-term durability. The inclusion of a 51-square-foot covered front porch provides a transition zone from the exterior to the living quarters, adding depth to the facade while offering a protected entry. This plan is optimized for those requiring a streamlined, low-maintenance home that does not compromise on essential amenities or interior volume.
Key Features: 1,011 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 8:12 roof pitch, vaulted ceilings, 9-foot ceiling heights, open-concept floor plan, walk-in pantry, slab foundation, 51 sq ft covered front porch.
