About This Plan

This 46'x43' modern cottage floor plan delivers 1,978 sq ft of well-organized single-story living space beneath a steep gable roofline that gives the home a classic cottage silhouette with contemporary character. The layout centers on an open living area at 18'9"x12'7" positioned adjacent to a well-appointed kitchen at 12'10"x13'8", with a dedicated pantry at 5'6"x2'9" and a separate laundry room at 6'x5'. A private bedroom suite at 12'x14' includes two closets and a full bathroom at 12'x6', with a half bath conveniently accessible from the living area. A storage room at 7'6"x4' adds practical utility, and both a front covered porch at 32'x7'10" and a rear covered porch at 31'9"x7'10" extend the living space outdoors on two sides of the home.

Built on a concrete slab foundation with 2x4 wood framing and a steep gable roof, this plan is designed for durability and low maintenance. The attached one-car garage at 14'3"x26'8" provides ample covered parking and additional storage space. The single-story layout keeps everything accessible on one level, making it a practical choice for a wide range of owner-builders including retirees, couples, and small families seeking a well-proportioned primary residence with strong curb appeal.

Whether you are planning a primary home, a vacation property, a rental, or a guest cottage, this complete 23-sheet drawing set gives you everything needed to begin construction. Sheets cover the floor plan, loft plan, slab layout, ceiling and roof outline, all four elevations, two sections, electrical and plumbing plans, kitchen and bath details, rafter and framing details, insulation details, window and door schedule, and a full material list. Available as an instant PDF and CAD download. Home Plan DIY does not provide engineer-stamped plans. Buyers are responsible for verifying local engineering and code compliance. Some jurisdictions require a licensed architect or engineer to review and seal plans prior to construction.
