30'x48' Modern Small Cottage Plan 2 Bed 1 Bath 1,464 Sq Ft

A Charming Single-Story Cottage Built for Real Life

This 1,464 sq ft cottage house plan blends rustic charm with modern comfort in a smart single-story layout, with no stairs, easy living, and porches on both sides of the house. A full-width 30'x8' covered front porch welcomes you into an open 16'6"x16'6" living and dining space filled with natural light, flowing into a spacious 16'6"x14'8" kitchen with pantry cabinet and dishwasher. A central hall with washer/dryer space connects two comfortable bedrooms, each with its own closet, and a full bathroom with corner tub. Out back, a 30'x7'6" covered rear porch doubles your outdoor living space.

Who This Plan Is For
Owner builders, first-time home builders, vacation home and rental investors, downsizers, and anyone planning a guest house, ADU, or in-law suite. The pier and beam foundation makes it a great fit for sloped or raised sites.
