Last updated on · ⓘ How we make our floor plans
This is a compact two-story cottage-style house plan with 1,690 sq ft of total living area. The design keeps the main floor social and the upper floor private. Clean logic. No nonsense. Just good bones.
The facade blends classic cottage character with a slightly European air. A steep front gable, a small dormer, and a tall chimney shape the front elevation with tidy drama. Light stone cladding defines the exterior, paired with dark window frames and crisp painted trim. The roofing appears to be dark asphalt shingles, giving the house a sharp, grounded finish. It looks polished without trying too hard. A rare skill.

- Total area: 1,690 sq ft
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 1 full bathroom + 1 powder room
- Floors: 2
Main Floor
The main floor contains 845 sq ft. It is arranged as the daily living zone, with a large living room, a roomy kitchen, and a broad hall tying everything together. The stair sits near the center, and the powder room is placed close by for convenience. Practical. Civilized.
- Living Room: 302 sq ft
- Kitchen: 255 sq ft
- Hall: 216 sq ft
- Powder Room: 29 sq ft
- Pantry: 18 sq ft
The living room is the largest space on this level, giving it strong lounge potential. The kitchen is also generous and sits beside the pantry, which is small but valiant. The hall is unusually substantial, so movement through the floor feels open rather than cramped.
Upper Floor
The upper floor also measures 845 sq ft. This level is the private wing, with three bedrooms arranged around a central hall. A full bathroom and a dedicated storage room complete the plan. It is simple, efficient, and refreshingly direct.
- Bedroom 3: 193 sq ft
- Bedroom 1: 143 sq ft
- Hall: 143 sq ft
- Storage: 90 sq ft
- Bedroom 2: 88 sq ft
- Bathroom: 82 sq ft
Bedroom 3 is the largest bedroom on the floor. Bedroom 1 offers a comfortable mid-size footprint, while Bedroom 2 is the most compact and works well as a child’s room, guest room, or study. The storage room is a welcome bonus. Storage rarely gets applause, but it should.
We have more facade options of this design:
Gray Board and Batten Siding with Stone Foundation
The big change is the new grey board-and-batten siding, and it gives the facade a crisper, moodier cottage character right away. Those vertical lines sharpen the tall front gable and dormer, making the house feel a bit more tailored and a lot less shy.
The stone foundation now grounds the front elevation with chunky texture and a sturdy, planted look. Paired with the black-framed windows, steep charcoal roof, and slim covered entry, it adds a handsome contrast—like the house put on boots and suddenly meant business.
Light Wood Siding with Dark Brick Foundation
The big change is the facade now wears light wood siding over a dark brick foundation, and the whole house feels brighter up top and more grounded below. That pale cladding gives the steep front gable and tall chimney a softer, cleaner look, while the dark base adds a tidy little dose of gravitas—like boots under a tailored coat.
With that swap, the black-framed windows and dark entry door pop harder against the lighter walls, and the small porch reads crisper and more defined. The dark brick foundation also gives the cottage front a sturdier visual footing, so the quaint roofline still feels charming, just with a bit more backbone and less sugar.
Wood Siding with Stone Foundation
The big change is the facade now wears warm wood siding over a solid stone foundation, and the whole house feels more cottage-crisp because of it. The timber skin softens the tall front gable and small porch, while the stone base adds a grounded, sturdy note—basically boots under a very handsome coat.
That material swap also sharpens the contrast with the black-framed windows, dark roof, and slim front door, making each opening pop a bit more. The stone foundation ties neatly into the tall chimney, and the wood cladding keeps the dormer and trim looking snug rather than fussy; rustic, but with manners.
Black Color Siding
The biggest change is the black siding, and it completely rewires the facade. The vertical board-and-batten now gives the cottage a sharper, moodier presence, turning the steep front gable into the star of the show—like it put on formalwear and refused to be subtle.
That dark skin also boosts every contrast on the front elevation. The pale stone chimney pops harder, the black-framed windows look crisper, and the warm interior glow feels extra cozy against the inky exterior; even the small porch and dormer seem more sculpted, a bit broody, and very handsome.
White Color Siding
The biggest change is the white siding, and it completely freshens the facade. It gives the cottage a brighter, crisper face, sharpening the tall front gable and making the black-framed windows and dark front door pop like they mean business.
With the siding now white, the dormer, chimney, and porch detailing look cleaner and more carved-out against the deep charcoal roof. The whole front elevation feels lighter, tidier, and a bit dressier—like the house swapped muddy boots for polished loafers.
