Plan Description

This charming cottage design is a perfect second home, or empty-nester. Decorative railing and tall windows form a splendid front porch. Inside, two family bedrooms can alternatively serve as space for an office or guest suite. A spacious kitchen overlooks the great room, and is steps away from the formal dining room. Enjoy the view across your covered deck over breakfast, or a light dinner. A bonus room on the second floor can be used for storage or another guest suite.
