About This Plan

This 40'x55' modern cottage floor plan delivers 1,063 sq ft of single-story living space with a warm, open layout and an exceptional amount of covered outdoor space for its size. The heart of the home is a combined kitchen with island at 13'6"x17'6" and a living area at 14'x15' with a fireplace, creating a connected open-concept living zone with generous natural light. Two bedrooms each with closets, a full bathroom, a laundry alcove, and a hallway complete the interior. A screened porch at 27'6"x10' adds 385 sq ft of covered living off the rear, while a front porch at 14'x6'6" welcomes entry from the front. An optional 12'x15' storage room can be incorporated for tools, recreational gear, or workshop use.

The cross gable roofline with steep 9:12 and 12:12 pitches gives the cottage a bold, traditional profile with excellent weather performance. Built on a concrete slab and pier foundation with wood framing, insulated walls, and energy-efficient windows, this plan is designed for year-round use across a wide range of climates. The 10 ft ceiling height on the main floor keeps the interior feeling open and airy despite the modest footprint.

Whether you are planning a vacation retreat, a short-term rental, or a full-time primary residence, this complete 17-sheet drawing set gives you everything needed to begin construction. Sheets cover the architectural floor plan, foundation and slab plan, wall layout plan, ceiling and roof framing plan, all four elevations, two sections, electrical and plumbing plans, kitchen and bathroom details, door and window schedule, joint details, and a full material list. Available as an instant PDF and CAD download. Please note that Home Plan DIY does not provide engineer-stamped plans. Buyers should verify local engineering and code compliance requirements before construction, as some jurisdictions require a licensed architect or engineer to review and seal plans prior to permitting.
