Discover a cozy two-story cottage design with 1,888 sq ft of heated living space, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2½ baths in a compact, elegant footprint. This plan blends cottage charm with practical layout and a welcoming wraparound porch.
Exterior & Curb Appeal
The home features a classic cottage silhouette with lap siding, ornamental trim, and abundant windows. A wraparound covered porch spans nearly the entire perimeter, enhanced by exposed posts and subtle roof detailing.
Porches & Outdoor Living
A front porch invites inviting gatherings, while the rear porch continues around the side to create seamless outdoor flow—perfect for relaxing or entertaining in multiple seasons.
Interior Layout & Flow
Step into a grand foyer framed by a formal dining room and powder bath. Beyond lies a spacious living room open to the breakfast nook and peninsula kitchen. This main level flows freely and feels both airy and anchored.
Bedrooms & Baths
The upper level contains two secondary bedrooms sharing a full bath, along with a generously sized master suite featuring a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with separate tub and shower.
Bonus & Flex Spaces
This design includes a flexible attic space or optional loft, which can serve as a home office, play area, or storage zone depending on preference.
Storage & Utility Areas
Functional storage is seamlessly integrated—with entry-level closets, pantry space by the kitchen, and ample closet options in bedrooms.
Size, Specs & Build Features
Ceilings around 9′ high on the main floor; upper floor offers generous room heights. Framing uses standard studs; roof pitch suited to cottage styling.
Lifestyle Benefits
This design combines gracious traditional formality and everyday cottage warmth. Whether entertaining in the dining room or enjoying family time in the open living area, the layout supports both hospitality and comfort. The wraparound porch expands leisure space outdoors.
Estimated U.S. Build Cost
A home of this size and style typically builds in the **$280,000–$350,000** range, depending on region, material quality, and labor costs.

Why This Plan Stands Out
Plan #7914 combines cottage-style charm with functional design in under 2,000 sq ft. Its formal entry, wraparound porch, and upper master suite all deliver style and privacy in a thoughtfully contained footprint.
