999 sq ft · 2 bed · 1 bath · 1 story · 41' 0" wide × 31' 6" deep · Plans from $995

This compact cottage is a practical fit for a small household, vacation home, or anyone looking to keep the footprint under 1,000 square feet. Its defining feature is a 15-foot vaulted great room that continues toward the covered rear porch.

• At 41 feet wide and 31 feet 6 inches deep, this one-story plan keeps its footprint compact. With no garage, its 999 square feet are devoted to heated living space.
• The great room sits at the center of the home and opens to the kitchen and dining area. A 15-foot vault runs through this shared space and toward the rear porch.
• Two bedrooms are grouped along one side of the plan, with a full bathroom between them for separation. The primary suite is on the first floor, along with the rest of the home.
• Main-level laundry keeps wash-day tasks on the same floor as the bedrooms and living areas. The plan includes no garage and no half-bath.
• A 185-square-foot covered porch extends outdoor living at the back of the home, with the great room’s vaulted ceiling continuing toward it.
• Foundation options include monolithic slab, slab, crawl space, basement, daylight basement, and walkout basement, allowing the plan to suit different site conditions.
