Three-Bed Contemporary Cottage Under 1,600 Square Feet

1,578 sq ft · 3 bed · 2 bath · 1 story · 52' 0" wide × 35' 6" deep · Plans from $1,195

This one-story cottage plan suits a household looking for three bedrooms and 2 full baths in a compact 1,578 sq ft. Its split-bedroom layout pairs a private primary suite with an open great room and island kitchen.

• A 44 sq ft front porch gives the mixed-material exterior a welcoming entry. At 52 ft wide and 35 ft 6 in deep, the home fits a range of country and suburban settings.
• French doors open into the great room, where a wood-burning fireplace anchors the gathering space. The island kitchen includes a walk-in pantry, with a door nearby leading outside.
• The primary suite sits on one side of the home, set apart by a small vestibule. Two bedrooms across the plan share a full bath, creating a clear split-bedroom arrangement.
• Main-level laundry keeps a daily task close at hand, and the walk-in pantry adds dedicated kitchen storage. The plan has no garage.
• Choose from several foundation options: monolithic slab, slab, walkout, daylight, crawlspace, or basement. These alternatives let you adapt the plan to your site conditions.
