One-Bed Accessory Cottage, 506 Sq Ft, in Traditional Style with Front Porch

506 sq ft · 1 bed · 1 bath · 1 story · 22' 0" wide × 26' 0" deep · Plans from $995

This 506 sq ft cottage plan is sized for a small household, an in-law suite or a one-bedroom accessory dwelling. Its straightforward layout places the living room and kitchen on one side, with the bedroom, bath and laundry on the other.

• A 66 sq ft front porch marks the entry to this single-story home. The compact footprint measures 22 feet wide by 26 feet deep, making the plan easy to place on a smaller lot.
• The living room sits at the front of the home, with the kitchen behind it in an open front-to-back arrangement. A C-shaped kitchen includes a peninsula with bar seating and a sink below a side-facing window.
• The bedroom is positioned at the front on the opposite side of the plan and includes a linear closet. A full bath sits between the bedroom and the laundry room at the back.
• Main-level laundry keeps daily chores on the same floor as the bedroom and bath. The plan has no garage, leaving the home focused on its 506 sq ft of heated living space.
• Choose a monolithic slab or slab foundation, or select the crawl-space option. The covered front porch adds 66 sq ft of outdoor space at the entry.
