The Narrow 3-Bedroom Cottage House Plan is engineered specifically for constrained urban or narrow-lot infill projects. Spanning 1,357 square feet of heated living space, this two-story design utilizes a 17-foot width and 54-foot depth to maximize residential density without compromising interior volume. A 102-square-foot covered front porch establishes a defined entry point, providing a transition between the public streetscape and the private interior.
The main level encompasses 816 square feet and is anchored by a two-story great room. This vertical core, paired with 9-foot ceiling heights, creates a sense of spatial depth that draws natural light through the floor plate. The open-concept core integrates the kitchen and dining areas, featuring a central kitchen island with an integrated eating bar to facilitate efficient daily use. This layout ensures that the primary social zones remain unobstructed, maintaining clear sightlines across the first floor.
The second floor provides 541 square feet of living space, containing the private master suite and additional bedrooms. By elevating the primary suite, the plan creates a clear separation from the active social zones below. The inclusion of a second-floor laundry area reduces the necessity for vertical transit for household chores. With 8-foot ceiling heights, the upper level provides a compact yet comfortable configuration for sleeping and private quarters.
Construction specifications include a slab foundation and 2x4 wall framing, ensuring a cost-effective build process. The roof structure features a combination of 10:12 and 6:12 pitches, resulting in a maximum building height of 26 feet 3 inches. This roofline contributes to the cottage-style aesthetic while providing the necessary clearance for the vertical volume of the two-story great room.
Key Features: 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, two-story great room, second-floor master suite, covered front porch, kitchen island with eating bar, second-floor laundry, slab foundation, 17-foot width, compact urban footprint.
