Cottage Style 1,612 Sq Ft 3 Bedroom Two-Story House Plan prioritizes vertical volume and efficient spatial organization, occupying a 44-foot wide by 42-foot 6-inch deep footprint. This two-story design utilizes an 8:12 roof pitch and reaches a maximum building height of 25 feet 6 inches, resulting in a distinct architectural profile suited for compact residential lots.
The first floor spans 1,204 square feet, centered around an open-concept living core that integrates the kitchen, dining, and family room. A central kitchen island serves as the primary workspace, supplemented by a walk-in pantry. The main level features 9-foot ceilings, which enhance the sense of depth within the common areas. A primary suite occupies the first floor, providing direct access to the main living zone, while a dedicated home office and first-floor laundry room support daily operational requirements.
The second level encompasses 408 square feet, housing two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. With 8-foot ceiling heights, this upper floor provides private sleeping quarters separated from the main social activities below, while integrated attic storage offers utility for household organization. The total heated living area of 1,612 square feet is balanced by functional transition zones, including 132 square feet of covered porch space, split between a 44-square-foot front entry and an 88-square-foot rear porch.
Construction efficiency is achieved through a standard two-story framing approach, capped by the 8:12 roof slope.
