Panoramic views throughout the main floor for this economical country cottage home plan. Inside, whether in the kitchen, dining room, living room or master bedroom the panoramic view is visible throughout the entire main level which is what adds to the unique appeal of the interior spaces in this home. Special features of this plan include an abundantly fenestration kitchen with its central island and fireplace between the living and dining rooms and the large closet in the master bedroom with its private access to the complete bathroom. Add to the preceding features a second floor with a second bedroom along with a full bathroom at the opposite end of the hallway from the second family room off of the mezzanine which can also double as a spare bedroom for guests. Outside, a large covered porch insures the comfort of the occupants both inside and out. If insects are a problem, it would be easy to screen in the porch to keep the bugs out.

FAQs

Are designs on Houseplans ready to submit to my building department for permitting?

It depends on where you're building. Our plans contain enough information for a professional builder to construct your home, but your local government may require additional information before permitting. We strongly advise that you talk with your builder before you get started. If you are building for yourself, we recommend visiting your local building department to start your diligence. Read more here.

Can I make changes to a plan?

Absolutely! Our modification service allows you to customize almost anything - whether it's adding an extra garage bay, adjusting square footage, changing the roof pitch, or more, the plan modification service is a great value and can be completed quickly. Additionally, if you purchase an electronic plan set (PDF or CAD), you may have the option to make changes locally. CAD files offer the most flexibility for custom edits. Just let us know what you're thinking, and we’ll provide an estimate and timeframe to get started. Learn more here.

How much does a house cost to build?

Find out! Build costs vary based on the size of the home, materials used, and local rates for goods and labor. Our Cost to Build report is a great way to get some basic costs dialed in before you order your plans. Just plug in your postal code, select your desired construction quality, and we'll calculate for you.
