Rear-Porch Living in a Three-Bed Cottage, Under 2,000 Sq Ft, New American Style

1,936 sq ft · 3 bed · 2 bath · 1 story · 2 car garage · 58' 0" wide × 55' 0" deep · Plans from $1,195

This one-story cottage suits a household that wants three bedrooms on one level and a connected main living area. Its split-bedroom layout and rear porch bring privacy and outdoor time into everyday living.

• At 58 feet wide and 55 feet deep, the plan pairs a front porch with an attached, front-entry 2-car garage for a straightforward arrival.
• From the entry, the great room sits to the right and opens toward the dining room and kitchen. A large island anchors the kitchen, with the sink beneath a window looking toward the rear porch.
• Bedrooms are separated for privacy: the primary suite is on the left, with a four-fixture bath, walk-in closet with pocket door, and direct rear-porch access. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath across the home.
• The plan includes a mudroom and main-level laundry, while the attached 596-square-foot garage provides parking for two cars.
• The 244-square-foot rear porch extends the living area outdoors, and a 96-square-foot porch gives the front of the home a sheltered entry.
• Foundation choices include slab, walkout, daylight, crawl space, and basement options, giving builders several ways to suit the site.
