Spanning 1,838 sq ft of heated living area, this 4-bedroom cottage house plan is optimized for a 49 ft width by 60 ft depth footprint. The design centers on vertical volume, utilizing 10 ft ceilings in the main living zones and vaulted ceilings to increase the sense of interior scale. With a classic cottage profile and a 6:12 roof pitch, the structure stands at 24 ft 5 in in height, ensuring a distinct presence on suburban or rural lots.
The main level is anchored by an open-concept core that integrates the great room, kitchen, and dining area. A first-floor master suite provides a primary wing separate from the secondary bedrooms, adhering to a split-bedroom layout that enhances acoustic privacy. The kitchen features an island with an eating bar and a walk-in pantry, providing direct sightlines into the keeping room for a cohesive living experience. A mudroom and laundry room are positioned near the entry points to manage high-traffic transitions.
Construction specifications include a slab foundation and 2x4 wall framing, supporting a total structure of 2,638 sq ft when including the 800 sq ft of unheated under-roof areas. The layout incorporates a 3-car front-load garage totaling 628 sq ft, offering sufficient utility for vehicle storage and workshop space. The design ensures clear circulation between the interior, the 32 sq ft covered front porch, and the 140 sq ft covered back porch.
